Set network buffers (Server Startup Parameters in NET_MGR) to 2048 at all servers being accessed. H If using a memory manager, the memory manager must exclude the range of RAM memory addresses the adapter card uses. VGA cards may need to be set to 8-bit mode, and/or shadow RAM/ROM may need to be disabled to avoid memory conflicts. I The longer model of the adapter (6.2" vs. 5") is INcompatible with LANtastic J MicroChannel adapter - ADF file to configure the PS/2 is supplied by the adapter manufacturer. K Uses Everex NetBIOS, NET21E.EXE v2.21 or newer L Uses Everex NetBIOS, NET23.EXE v2.21 or newer M Uses Everex NetBIOS, NET26E.EXE v2.21 or newer N Uses TNETBIOS v1.52 O Uses IBM PC LAN Support program v1.1 P Uses Invisible Software NetBIOS ROM v2.7A Q Uses PC Office NB_1K.EXE or PC Office NB_4K.EXE R Uses Performance Technology NetBIOS RIMDRVR.EXE S These adapters use a unique third party NetBIOS; two different NetBIOS programs can not be run on one cabling structure, therefore these adapters can not be mixed with other manufacturer's adapters on the same network. T DRVR8530.COM, obtainable from Tandy or the Artisoft BBS, and must be run prior to running the low level driver, TLINK.EXE.
