i now have 3 of these (Elite 3200?) cards.

originally we were going to use them in our novell server, but the Novell 3.11
drivers they provided were a bit flakey. (about 16 months ago)

i remember that there were new drivers issued, but since we had the box
up and running using 2 16 bit controllers, i haven't worried about it.

does anyone have any experience using these cards, with both ports active
in a Novell 3.11, 4.0 or SCO ODT [23].0 environment?

also, if you have the drivers for Novell, can someone put them up for ftp
like the SuperDisk 4.6?

Hey Jim,  I tried to send mail to your odin address and it bounced back with 
something about an illegal entry in your .forward, so:

Can't vouch for 4.0 or SCO, but we've been using them in our 3.11 server 
since we got it in September of 1992.  We've got 4 of them in it and both 
ports on all cards have been active since April.  No problems with the 
cards, other than until the last release of the driver they wouldn't speak 
AppleTalk (which didn't matter to us, since we just added NW4Mac a month 
ago).

I've just put the server driver, smce32.lan on marvin.ag.uidaho.edu for 
anon. ftp in /users/ftp/upload.  It's the most current I know about, 
3/19/93.  If you need any of the other files email me and I'll dig them up 
and zip them for you.
