Archived - A/UX: AppleTalk Phase 2 and Ethernet Card Compatibility (8/94)
My group is having problems with third-party NuBus Ethernet cards and Phase 2 networks running on Macintosh II-class machines with A/UX 2.0. Is there a compatibility list of which cards support Phase 2 AppleTalk protocol? Is Apple's card fully compatible with EtherTalk 2.0 drivers using A/UX 2.0?
This article has been archived and is no longer updated by Apple.
We don't have a compatibility list of third-party Ethernet cards which
support or don't support the AppleTalk Phase 2 protocols. Apple has
left it to the developers to decide whether to write and implement a
Phase 2 complaint driver for their cards. There is no conformity
testing for third-party cards. This makes it difficult to compile a
list of cards with known compatibility problems. We would suggest
working closely with the manufacturer to ensure that any bugs in their
drivers can be discovered and repaired.
The Apple Ethernet NB card is fully compatible with Phase 2 protocols when running under all versions of A/UX.
