IBM Token-Ring Adapters
Required entry:
• drivername = ibmtok$ or ibmtokn$
This driver is for the following network adapters:
• IBM Token-Ring Adapter
• IBM Token-Ring Adapter II
• IBM Token-Ring Adapter/A
• IBM Token-Ring 16/4 Adapter
• IBM Token-Ring 16/4 Adapter/A
Note If you are using older models of the IBM Token-Ring 16/4
network adapters and protocols fail to bind, add a few more bytes to the
upper bound of the EMM386.EXE exclude range for the adapter’s RAM
and/or ROM. For example, if the documentation for the adapter implies
that the RAM uses d800-dbff, try excluding d800-dc0f instead.
The following table summarizes the possible entries and values in the
