LLI Drivers Disk Rel 3.4

This version contains all of the SCO supported Ethernet card drivers and is supported for use with TCP 1.2.1. Of specific importance to Apricot hardware is an improved 3Com Etherlink III driver for the 3C509, 3C529, and 3C579 cards which fixes a problem whereby the card could stop working on fast machines.

Advanced Graphics Adapter EFS Rel 3.4

This contains the latest video card X Window drivers for Open Server / Open Desktop 3.0. This AGA EFS contains Cirrus Logic drivers for the 5426, 5428, and 5434. When using the XEN-PC 590 with the on-board 5434 the 5434 driver should be used and will allow a resolution of 1024x768x256 colours at 70Hz with a suitable monitor, selecting a 64k colour driver will result in an error message when the Controls-->Colour icon is selected. A resolution of 1280x1024x256 colours at 60Hz will also function with a suitable monitor.
