TOPIC


    I have a Macintosh 630 series computer with a DOS Compatibility Card installed, and I want to use Ethernet in the Windows/MS-DOS environment. What Communication Slot Ethernet cards allow me to do this?

DISCUSSION


    Ethernet cards that are designed to use the .ENET driver should work for Windows/MS-DOS networking. Information that passes from the MS-DOS side to the Ethernet card must go through the PC Network Extension, which must be located in the Extensions folder on the Macintosh. Because the PC Network Extension is written to use the .ENET driver, any card that does not use this driver will not work properly from Windows/MS-DOS.

    The Apple Ethernet CS cards use the .ENET driver, so they will work properly. Contact other vendors to find out if their Ethernet cards use the .ENET driver.
