I knew I wouldn't have time to test the different Tekram drivers so I
turned the project over to the National Quack Testing Laboratories.
They pecked the job right up and flew in some special consultants.
This is an interesting project. There are _three_ different drivers
from three different vendors -- Tekram, IBM, and LSI Logic (formerly
Symbios Logic, the manufacturer of the chip on the board).
Here's a quick summary of what National Quack will be testing:
.ADD Date Vendor
=========== ======
1997-Apr-04 Tekram (on their site & the floppy in the box)
1998-Sep-09 IBM (Device Drivers .. Disk & SCSI .. LSI)
1999-Oct-29 LSI Logic
The 1997 driver (from Tekram) was the one that originally gave me
trouble with COMx ports. The 1999 driver (from LSI) is the one that
currently gives me trouble with the D-Link NIC card. I'm going to make
the preposterous assumption that the 1998 driver _from IBM_ has been
_tested_ on OS/2 and therefore is the one I should really be using.
More later this week; I'm out of town beginning Monday.
I had some additional questions beakause of all these drivers so this
afternoon I stopped at National Quack, but the entire staff was out in
the pool.
