In addition, it contains reports by NOS and by machine and model number which shows the testing done to certify the hardware against the operating system. These reports show detailed information on hardware configurations, adapters, device drivers, and code levels used in the testing.
B.2 Finding Device Drivers on the World Wide Web
In addition to this web site, IBM has another site that contains a file which has LAN adapter device driver information. This file is a matrix of adapters and drivers and version levels. It is updated frequently as new drivers become available. The file is named DRVRLIST.DOC and is in the MS Word format. It can be obtained from the PCC FTP file library at the following URL:
∙ftp.pcco.ibm.com/pub/network or with a web browser at:
∙http://www.pc.ibm.com/files.html
If it is an IBM adapter, the driver itself can be obtained from the same FTP or web sites. In addition, the IBM Networking Hardware Division maintains an FTP site at the following URL:
∙lansupport.raleigh.ibm.com/pub/products/lanprods/adapters
