Detail Information for the Adapters Drivers Area

    All the software in this area is released to manufacturing except
    for those marked (Interim).

      Released is = Released Driver Kits (shipped with the adapters)
      Interim     = Latest Driver Kits (not yet shipped with the adapters)

    All of the device drivers for a product (with the exclusion of Mac OS
    and UNIX formatted kits) are contained in one PKZIP file.  You need to
    select the ZIP file for the device you are interested in and download
    it.  Included in this note is a simple chart that will help you easily
    locate the correct ZIP file.

    Mac OS Open Transport drivers are available for the DE500, DE450, and
    DEFPA products.  The Mac OS drivers for all supported Digital network
    adapters are available in separate kits.  The files are in BinHex
    format of a StuffIt self extracting archive for Macintosh users.

    SCO UNIX/OpenServer drivers are generally available in both standard
    driver kits (in ZIP files) and as separate UNIX image files for
    easier installation.  The UNIX driver kits have a .dd extension which
    indicates that the dd command should be used to transfer the image
    onto a UNIX formatted 3 1/2" floppy.  Here is the command used to
    transfer the kit:

                dd if=fplli100.dd of=/dev/rfd0135ds18 bs=18k

    In this example, the image file was called fplli100.dd.  This filename
    should be replaced with the kit image being transferred.  Once transfer
    is complete, the custom utility should be run to install the driver.

    The *** in the following chart is the version of the kit file
    (eg. "230").  Often, both the released and the latest interim versions
    are available.
