It's true having problems with your networkcard. The only PCMCAI card
sco support is 3c589b. Eventually you still trying to install it, but
it still will not work. In this case it's depends on hardware from
your laptop.
There is a kind of software from lynsoft that you can try or use
openserver 5.05.

That's the best thing you can do
I'm sorry about that.

Try http://www.ositech.com which purports to supply it's PC card with SCO
drivers. Haven't tried one, though, so I can't vouch for it.

Is isn't a problem finding a compatible network card, the 3com589[B-D]
models work quite well. The problem is finding a laptop with a cardbus
controller that will work.

Since you didn't tell us what laptop you have, well, ................

Hi,

We had excellent luck using 3c589 cards and software from lynnsoft
with OSr502 on Toshiba CS110 Satellite Notebooks.

The folks at lynnsoft have a list of notebooks that they say will work
with their software. The 3com cards were the only network cards they
supported at the time - about 2 years ago.

Your milage may vary, good luck.

hi Andrew,

For a time i had problem installing a 3com 3c589b pcmcia network card on an
AST ascentia laptop,
Frederico Fonseca gave me this solution and it works
(you know what i'm happy!)

Try the following
Here is how I set-up my 589D some time ago:

The first step is to boot using a dos 6 floppy and then insert the
3Com
util diskette and configure the card (install.exe) to use INT 3 and
I/O
300.

Then boot SCO and config the card driver to be:

slot : 1
I/O add : 300
Int : 3
Shared RAM: d4000-d6fff
Media : TP or auto

I had fun with the shared RAM address. If the default of c8000 was
used
then the card was seen at boot and IP packets were sent on to the net
but nothing was ever picked up.

My machine config is CTX P5/166MMX, 40Mb, 2.1Gb HD.

This was sent to this newsgroupg by Donald Campbell [ SueDon Ltd -
UNIX and Database Specialists (Sandhurst, UK) ]

It also worked fine for me

look at the sco ftp site for "TLS619", there are PCMCIA Drivers for
different network and modem cards.
