Hi All,
 
I was happy to see the inclusion of Token Ring drivers in
Linux v1.3.  I hoped to use these at work.  However, we seem to
have the 'wrong' type of Token Ring cards: IBM DMA-ing cards.
 
Linux doesn't recognize the card; als, the source says 'these should
work with a non-DMA Token Ring card, eg Tropic chipset'.
 
Great.  Does anyone know the actual IBM name of such a card,
so that I can order one?  A working clone is alright, too.
 
Thanks in advance, Hildo Biersma
