Specification

D-Link DE-620 pocket adapter is designed to enable notebooks or other computers to connect to an Ethernet network through the Parallel Port. It supports unidirectional, bi-directional or EPP type ports (version 1.7 specification).Power is taken from a 12volt power supply or, on latest models, from the keyboard port. The keyboard port connector is only designed to be used on later models, as supplied; earlier models may work but tend to overload both the notebook and the adapter itself (overheat)-so it’s not recommended.

Current Disk Release

Check the date on your own diskette: the date is stamped on the diskette.. Make sure it is at least 1996- download a later release if necessary. This particularly applies to newer Toshiba, IBM Thinkpad & other models. [Drivers are located in: FTP: \pub\adapters\de620\ BBS: DE620 library]
