AST RESEARCH, INC. TECHNICAL BULLETIN #0527 05-10-89 AST SYSTEMS/WESTERN DIGITAL ETHERNET ADAPTER There have been reported incidents of the Western Digital 8003 Ethernet LAN adapter not functioning properly in AST computer systems. The user may experience slow network access, such as applications requiring 25-30 seconds to load over the network. This in actuality is not an incompatibility between the AST system and the Western Digital LAN adapter. The fault actually lies with the Novell drivers used with the adapter. Users who have Novell 2.1x software installed should make sure that the Novell drivers installed for the WD 8003 are 2.11.3 or above.
