VERSION HISTORY

-- Version 3.01 (Current Version) --

   Added LMAC changes to fix transmission-underrun conditions.

-- Version 3.00 --

   Added support for 8216 series adapters.  
   The SMC8000.SYS driver supports all SMC 8XXX series Ethernet 
   adapters.

-- Version 2.15 --

   Corrected excessive out-of-resources condition and poor 
   performance.

-- Version 2.13 --

   Fixed inoperability when adapter is set to IRQ 2.

-- Version 2.12 --

   Updated driver messages.

-- Version 2.11 --

   Fixed lockup when using 8003ET/A adapters.

-- Version 2.10 --

   Made various driver names consistent, so that Link Driver and
   bind names are all SMC8000.

-- Version 2.00 --

   Rewrote driver to support multiple protocol stacks and to 
   provide support for OS/2 V2.0. 

   Name of driver changed to SMC8000.SYS
  
-- Version 1.23 --

   Fixed minor problem in Novell Certification tests.

-- Version 1.22 --

   Fixed minor problems in Novell certification tests.

-- Version 1.21 --

   Added support for the WD83C690 chip and discontinued support
   for Promiscuous Receive. The Reception Control I/O Control 
   routine and all Promiscuous routines will now return an error. 

   There is also additional support for 8013EP/A and 8013WP/A.

-- Version 1.20 --

   Added support for the 8003EP, 8013EB, 8013W, and 8013EW.
   Works with OS/2 Version 1.2.

-- Version 1.10f --

   The user must specify a slot number for use with Micro 
   Channel computers.

-- Version 1.10e --

   Problems found in 1.10d have been fixed. However, this 
   is still a pre-release version.

-- Version 1.10d --

   All problems associated with Version 1.10c have been
   fixed.

   StarLAN is supported.

   The NET.CFG may be used to select a MicroChannel slot
   number.

-- Version 1.10c --

   MicroChannel code has been tested and debugged.

   Most configuration error handling has been implemented.

   StarLAN boards are not supported.

   Using the NET.CFG file to specify a MicroChannel slot
   will not work. The driver will always search for
   the adapter starting at slot 1.

   Novell test suite had not been run on this driver
   because none of those test suites was available.

-- Version 1.10b --

   Added support for all boards, but did not test
   MicroChannel code.

   Driver is configurable, but configuration error handling
   is not finished.

-- Version 1.10a --

   Ported from 3com 3c503 driver written by Ian Stiles &
   Drex C. Dixon on 5/22/89. Only works on 8003E-compatable 
   boards configured for bio=280, irq=3, RAMbase=0x000D0000, 
   and RAMsize=8k.
