In addition to this Web site, IBM has another site that contains a file that has
LAN adapter device driver information. This file is a matrix of adapters and
drivers and version levels. It is updated frequently as new drivers become
available. The file is named DRVRLIST.EXE and is a self-extracting ZIP file
containing a Word 6.0 document. It can be obtained from the PC Company BBS
at either:
ftp://ftp.pcco.ibm.com/pub/pccbbs/network
or via modem at (919) 517-0001 in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. There are also
IBM bulletin boards in other countries where IBM operates.
If it is an IBM adapter, the driver itself can be obtained from the same site. In
addition, the IBM Networking Hardware Division maintains an FTP site at URL:
ftp://lansupport.raleigh.ibm.com/pub/products/lanprods
Microsoft′s
hardware compatibility list
also points to drivers that are available.
URLs that will get you there are:
