TOPIC


    Are there any inherent hardware limitations of the Apple Macintosh PC Compatibility cards which would prevent use of a true 32-bit network driver, once one is written to work with the PC Compatible?

DISCUSSION



    There is not a technical reason why a true 32-bit network driver would not work, once such a driver is written specifically for the Apple PC Compatibility Cards.

    At the current time, the drivers enclosed with the Apple PC Compatibility Cards such as MacNDIS and MacODI are both 16-bit real mode drivers.
