It is a IBM Auto 4/16 ISA Token Ring > adapter. I think form the 2-CDROM set should contain the drivers for it. We don't support token ring at all, I'm afraid. It's also not listed anywhere on the CDROM, so I'm not sure how you got the impression that there would be drivers for it, but in any case it's just not going to work with token ring. We also have no plans to support token ring given that it's a dying standard and there's only less and less interest each year. It would not be the best use of our time to support it. Regards, Jordan
