Tandy Ethernet Adapters from Western Digital (80861)






This article was previously published under Q80861

SUMMARY

Tandy Corporation offers the following three Ethernet adapters:

Tandy Ethernet Plus
Tandy Ethernet Plus 16
Tandy Ethernet Plus 16 TP

These adapters are actually manufactured by Western Digital Corporation and correspond to the following cards:

WD EtherCard Plus WD8003E
WD EtherCard Plus 16 WD8013E
WD EtherCard Plus 16 WD8013E TP

The MACWD driver included with LAN Manager should work correctly with these Tandy cards. Choose Western Digital's Ethercard+WD8003E as your network adapter in LAN Manager Setup. Non-default settings for interrupt and I/O base address must be made to the PROTOCOL.INI file (as you would make for the Western Digital cards).

Note: The WD EtherCard Plus 16 and the WD EtherCard Plus 16 TP are not currently certified network cards for LAN Manager; therefore, the Tandy Ethernet Plus 16 and the Tandy Ethernet Plus 16 TP cannot be considered certified. If the 16-bit Western Digital cards become certified in the future, the same drivers should work correctly with the corresponding Tandy 16-bit cards.
