Q32. How well does the NB3s work with local area networks?
A32. Very well. It has been tested with Novell’s Advanced NetWare 286 version
2.19, NetWare 386 3.0 and 3.1 and 3Com’s 3+Open version 1.1. A variety of
network interface cards (NICs) have been tested as well. These include
Novell’s NE1000 and NE2000 Ethernet NICs; 3Com’s EtherLink Plus NIC;
Standard Microsystem’s PC-110 Arcnet NIC; and IBM’s Token Ring II and
Token Ring 16/4 NICs.
When configuring those NlCs that are not self-configurable, we recommend
staying with fairly “standard” settings. In our testing, we typically used I/O port
address 0300h and interrupt request lines 2, 3 or 5. By following these
guidelines, networking the NB3s should be relatively painless.
