IBM mode
3Com mode increases the number of available IRQ channels
from 4 to 8 and the number of I/O base addresses from 2 to
32. You can install up to six adapters per PC. 3Com drivers are
supplied on the

diskette to support these 3Com
mode enhancements. The default is 3Com mode.
IBM mode provides the same configuration options as
IBM 16/4 Token Ring Adapters: 4 IRQ channels and 2 I/O base
addresses. You can continue to use IBM drivers with the
adapter in IBM mode.
