============================================================================= AST RESEARCH, INC. TECHNICAL BULLETIN #0803 12-30-92 ============================================================================= EISA SYSTEMS WITH THE RACAL INTERLAN CARD PROBLEM: The drivers shipped with the RACAL Interlan card, used in the AST SE system and sold as an option kit for other EISA systems, do not support either PBurst or ODI capability.

CAUSE: The advanced PBurst and ODI capabilities of the RACAL card not supported by the drivers that were supplied by RACAL and originally shipped with AST systems up to 12-18-92. AFFECTED SYSTEMS: Any system using a RACAL Interlan adapter AST part number 500875-001 or 230214-001. SOLUTION: Obtain the diskette of drivers released on 12-18-92 using AST part number 910462-004 release 1.02 from RACAL.
