What SCO does is to work with major board vendors to ensure that SCO drivers are available. In September I bought a new Adaptec 2742 EISA SCSI controller. It came with a BTLD disk for SCO. Today I ordered a new 3COM 3C579 EISA Ethernet controller. It doesn't come with SCO drivers, but if you check ftp.3com.com:/drivers; you'll find 5x9sco.exe which contains a 50 page documentation file for SCO install and custom installable disk image. Both of these boards are the manufacturers current state of the art design. Hot of the press (so to speak). Both are incompatible with previous versions to the extent of requiring new drivers. Both have SCO drivers available either with the board in the box at introduction (Adaptec) or via ftp shortly after introduction (3Com). -- Stuart Lynne <sl@wimsey.com> ........... 604-936-8649(voice) 604-937-7718(fax) Installable Software for SCO UNIX ............ ftp.wimsey.com:~ftp/pub/wimseypd Internet SCO UNIX troubleshooting ......................UNIX Facsimile Software
