To get my IBM XT on the internet i’ve bought a Etherlink II.
The Etherlink II is a period correct card that matches my demand of only using 8-bit cards.
I’ve set it to I/O: 300 and the card has no bootrom.
Manual can be found here: 4185-01_EtherLink_II_Technical_Reference_Jan89.pdf
Used software: 3PLUS.zip
I’ve place the contents of my zip file on my root. And i’m using the following to setup the packet driver for this 3com 503 card:
Autoexec.bat:
c:\3plus\3c503 0x60
Config.sys:
device=C:\3plus\eth503.sys /d:300 /i:3 /t:2
If you want to change the settings:
Interface via AUI: /t:2
Interface via BNC: /t:1
I’m using a AUI (CentreCOM 210T) to UTP transciever when i’m not keeping my IBM XT in the Attic (i’ve got a BNC network there).
