SYNOPSIS:     Configuring IBM 16/4 Token Ring and Compatible Network Adapters

OS RELEASE:   

PRODUCT:      Solaris x86

KEYWORDS:     Configure IBM 16/4 token ring network adapter


DESCRIPTION:

Support and setup of the IBM 16/4 Token Ring Network card on Solaris
x86. 


SOLUTION:

For Micro Channel Architectures (MCA), no special attention is required. 
However, for ISA and EISA architectures, the shared RAM size should be
set to 16K.  This process is described in the vendor's documentation. 
The ROM location address must be set to one of the following values:

        ___________________________________
        ROM Location Address (ISA and EISA)
        -----------------------------------
        0xC2000

        0xC6000

        0xCA000

        0xCE000

        0xD2000

        0xD6000

        0xDA000
        -----------------------------------

Although the shared RAM size is set to 16K, the Token Ring board will
actually use 24K.  You must keep this in mind when determining address
space conflicts with other boards in the system, For example, if you set
the ROM location to 0xC2000, the Token Ring board will use 24K staring
at the location, so it will use all addresses in the range 0xC2000
through 0xC7FFF.
