Title: 3Com-Novell Compatibility Chart for Etherlink Adapters
Date: 12/14/89

Copyright 3Com Corporation, 1991.  All rights reserved.

The following chart shows which Etherlink adapters are compatible with the
various versions of Netware.  If a file name is listed, it should be
downloaded from Netwire, Novell's service on the CompuServe Information
Service.  "Yes" indicates that drivers are provided with the software and
"No" means a driver is not currently available.  Since Novell constantly
updates their drivers, you should always check Netwire for the latest
revisions.

Note:  3Com does not support these adapters with Netware.  Use at your own
risk!
