- 31-40 Rapidfire 3140V2 16/4 PCI Adapter

SysKonnect

- TR4/16(+) SK-4190 ISA

- TR4/16(+) SK-4590 PCI

- TR4/16(+) SK-4591 PCI

SMC

- Tokencard Elite (8115T)

- Tokencard Elite/A MCA (8115T/A)

Cards that may cause problems:

Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter II. This adapter will NOT work. Do not confuse this card with the IBM Token Ring adapter II (4mbit) which does. It is a DMA/Busmaster adapter for ISA.

3Com TokenLink Velocity ISA. You may or may not get this one to work. I have had reports of people running it without problems, and others who get errors left and right.
