Re: [Sheflug] Madge Token Ring network card

[James Wallbank <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi James,

Sorry I can't help you with your immediate problem - but please, if 
you do manage to get a token ring network going I'd be really 
interested - down at Access Space we have dozens of spare token ring 
cards but no token ring hubs - and, frankly, I'm not sure how 
(physically) to arrange a token ring network.

Good luck with the drivers - if you get totally stuck and reckon an 
alternative card might help, call into Access Space and we'll give 
you a couple. In return, maybe you can help us understand how to get 
the b***ers working!

Cheers,

James
