ETHERNET PLUS-16 Adapter  (260-5508)  Features        Faxback Doc. # 5162

This Ethernet adapter board is designed for use in Tandy and compatible
computers. It connects to a local area network (LAN) using either standard
Ethernet cable or 10BaseT unshielded twisted-pair wire and telephone-type
modular plugs.

In a network, the Ethernet adapter will operate with most network adapters
that comply with the IEEE 802.3 10Base2, 10Base5, or 10BaseT Ethernet
standards.

In addition to this manual, the Ethernet adapters come with a SuperDisk
diskette. The diskette contains drivers for most major network environments
including Novell's NetWare, LAN Manager, and NetBIOS. Refer to the README.DOC
file on the diskette for a complete listing of the drivers and information on
installing the software driver programs.

The software driver diskette also contains a setup program for configuring
the adapter (if the preassigned jumper settings cannot be used because of
conflicts with other boards installed in your computer).
