VX-Net 3.13 & MCA Western Digital Ethernet Cards

Western Digital have produced a number of different types of MCA Ethernet which are currently causing confusion. The release of ETHERNET.SYS supplied with VX-Net 3.13 (Vr 3.1.4) fails with the X3 (surface mount) revision of the card. The X4 and X5 revisions work correctly.

The X3 card can be made to function correctly through the new release of ETHERNET.SYS (3.15.01 beta), that is available from Technical Support. It is also available on the Apricot Technical Support Bulletin Board, but please contact Technical Support before trying to download, as the file is in a protected area.

Note: The recommendation made in IPB 2013 regarding the configuration of MCA Western Digital cards still applies with this new release.
