Title: 3+ Start Incompatibility with IBM 16/4 Token Adapter
Date:  3/29/91

Copyright 3Com Corporation, 1991.  All rights reserved.

3+ Start is incompatible with an IBM 16/4 Token Ring adapter in a
PC server.  3S commands such as 3S CREATE, 3S LINK, 3S DEL all work
fine.  But, when a netstation equipped with a TokenLink adapter and Start
PROM attempts to boot from a start volume on the PC server, the netstation
will display the following error message as soon as the start volume is
accessed:

     Could not load bootpc.com, check cable

Examining a trace will show a couple of packets sent by the netstation
requesting BOOTPC.COM and an incorrect response from the Start Server
totaling two packets.

If the IBM Token Ring adapter is replaced with a 3Com TokenLink adapter,
3+Start will work correctly.
