1654.0. "SCO Unix drivers for DEFPA availability question" by DECPRG::PRNET::Pilar () Wed Apr 19 1995 09:49

Hi,

I have question concerning SCO Unix driver for DEFPA availability.
As stated in Systems and Options Catalog, January 95 SCO Unix is supported 
platform. One of our customers get one DEFPA now but drivers for SCO Unix 
are missing. Are they available on the net? Is it possible to get them for 
our customer?

Thank you in advance

    The catalog entry was a little premature.  I do have a SCO UNIX driver
    for DEFPA in development now and it's up and running, but I haven't
    built a release kit for it yet.  If you could send me (email) the
    customer's name and contact information I'll make sure they receive the
    driver when it becomes available.

1654.2SCO UNIX drivers now available for FDDI NICsNETCAD::STEFANIWelcome to the Revolution!Wed Jun 14 1995 14:4356
         
           !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
           !!! ANNOUNCING NEW FDDI CONTROLLER SCO UNIX DRIVERS !!!
           !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    SCO UNIX LLI drivers are now available for both DEC FDDIcontroller/EISA
    (DEFEA) and DEC FDDIcontroller/PCI (DEFPA) adapter families.  The same
    driver kit supports both adapters, but the kit has been included in
    both DEFEA and DEFPA driver release areas.  The driver kit will be
    rolled into a full DEFEA or DEFPA driver kit, but for now, they can be
    found on:
    
    	KALI::PCDRIVERS:[DEFEA.INTERIM]FESCOLLI.TAR
    or	KALI::PCDRIVERS:[DEFPA.INTERIM]FPSCOLLI.TAR
    
    or  ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/adapters/fddi/defea/interim/fescolli.tar
    or  ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/adapters/fddi/defpa/interim/fpscolli.tar
    
    or the Network Product Business BBS at 508-486-5777.
    
    Driver Version:  v2.0.0a
    
    OS Support:
        SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2v4.2
        SCO Open Desktop Release 3.0
        SCO Open Server ("Everest")
    
    New Features:
    
    	1. Simplified installation.  The driver does not require any adapter
    	   resource entries (IRQ, port addresses, etc) of the user and
    	   determines this information directly from the adapter.
    	2. Multiple board support.  The driver supports up to eight (8)
           FDDI controllers in any combination of PCI and EISA.
    	3. Shared interrupt support.
        4. Local SNMP management utility included (declma).
    
    Installation:
    
    After copying over the TAR file, you must transfer the kit onto a
    UNIX formatted 3 1/2" floppy as given in the following example:
    
	    dd if=fescolli.tar of=/dev/rfd0135ds18 bs=18k
    
    Complete the installation by running the custom utility, then use
    netconfig to bind protocols to the driver for each adapter.
    
    Support:
    
    Any driver or kit related questions or problems can be sent to me
    directly at YESWAY::STEFANI, or posted in the SCO UNIX or FDDI
    Notes conferences.
