And then, there's the gateway to the Arcnet LAN that the art department was so proud to get a "deal" on back in ... 1988, wasn't it? And the token ring that Finance *had* to have so that they could talk to the AS/400? And where is that last copy of the NE2000 documentation that the client support rep was going to get back to you without fail next week ... nine months ago? This book is for you. Over seven hundred pages list hundreds of cards from dozens of manufacturers with all the jumper settings, base addresses, diagnostic indicators and so forth. Chapters one to three give you some very brief reference material on LAN topology, access protocols, and calling. Chapter four gives you a directory of manufacturers just in case you don't have all the info within the book. Chapter five is the guts of the book, listing the cards by manufacturer and model. Five appendices list a glossary, node IDs, standard memory settings, common interface connector pin assignments, and a very brief bibliography. copyright Robert M.
