I have recently recieved 2 different ethernet cards, but have no adf/option
disks for them.

The first card has only a BNC (thinnet) connector, is a 'short' card (most
microchannel cards I've seen were quite long), has a Toshiba t6f0291 chip,3
4464 RAMS, and is nearly all surface mount hardware. A white sticker with
'mfg loc 23 / 74f3463 asp / ec:179301 9026' printed on it was stuck to the
back.

The second card has thinnet and the DB-15 connector on it, is made of older
technology, and is a 'long' card. It has a 40-pin DIP that reads DP8390DN,
2 6256 RAMS, has ID NUMBER 0080ad03af71 written on the DB15 (possibly derive
manufacturer from ethernet ID?), and is loaded with 74xx chips.

None of these boards (along with the 10 others I recieved) had FCC ID
numbers. :(

If you don't have the disk, any recommendations would help. For example,
the location of IBM's 'unfindable' diskette archive, or another option
diskette archive would be helpful.

Thank you much.

Okay.. another favor. :)
I discovered one card to be a 3270 host access card, which I believe cannot
be used for general ethernet (specifically tcp/ip) uses, and the other card
is a 200E/2 NIC.

Umm, I can find ADF's for these, but no drivers. Any help would be really
appreciated.

Thank you again,
David Wood

ps: thank spam mailers for your having to download my sig everytime I write.
