Here we have about 250 TR adapters : - IBM 4/16 don't work under linux here (but we found the driver for windows 3.11 :)
- IBM (i don't know the model, but this is a 4Mbit/s, very long adapter) We noticed that the "Arrrg 50 ms donald reset..." message appears only under heavy load of the adapter : big ftp transfer or x+www...
What a pity because these cards works well under dos and nt.
- IBM 16/4 Adapter II Works on dos, nt, linux but only if your card is old enough (chips manufacturated in 1989 for example...)
Anyway, three remarks : 1 - There is perhaps a race condition due to cpu speed, because it's more and more difficult for us to make very recent computers work w/ TR. 2 - We never manage to use a TR card w/ an asustech motherboard 3 - When the DEC Alpha TR driver was in development here, a guy here patched the Intel driver to increase the wait : 300ms instead of 50ms. He told me that all the "Arrg" disapeared.
