issue

Novell Servers and Clients (DOS/WIN and Windows95) require ODI LAN drivers to be up to a specific ODI LAN Driver Specification level. To determine the Specification Version that the ODI LAN driver was written to use the DRVSPEC.EXE program. The DRVSPEC.EXE program scans ODI LAN drivers for the Specification string and will display this string if it exists. If this string is not found in the driver, then you will have to contact the LAN driver manufacturer for the Specification Version that the lan driver was written to.

There are three different kinds of ODI LAN drivers, each with a different Specification Version.

16-bit ODI LAN drivers need to be at least at Specification Version 4.0. DRVSPEC.EXE will list the Specification Version string for 16-bit ODI Drivers as "HSM_SPEC_VERSION: 4.0".

32-bit ODI LAN drivers written in assembly need to be at least at Specification Version 3.30. DRVSPEC.EXE will list the Specification Version string for 32-bit Drivers written in assembly as "HSM_SPEC_VERSION: 3.3".

32-bit ODI LAN drivers written in C need to be at least at Specification version 1.10. DRVSPEC.EXE will list the Specification Version string for 32-bit Drivers written in C as "HSM_CSPEC_VERSION: 1.10".
