Can someone help me identify a 3COM NIC?  It's an 8-bit card,
with BNC and AUI connectors.  The assembly part no. is 1221 00
Rev. G.  It has space for a boot PROM marked U10.

If there are any unique arrangments of parts that can help
identify the model no. of this card, I can supply that info.

Thanks in advance.

The most straight forward way to get nos under NT is to port my OS/2
PMNOS :-). Be prepared to deal with writting a windows application as well as a
multitasking one.

Posix, find me a posix compliant compiler for DOS/WINDOWS/OS2 architectures.
Find me a posix version of NOS.
I am familiar with IBM, microsoft and Borland c compilers, I have never seen a 
"standard" oppendir(), closedir() and readdir(). Alan, the ANSI standards 
committe, for right or wrong, did not include stat(). Walt
