Using Remote Program Load (RPL)
   The TokenLink III MCA adapter contains a built-in RPL facility for loading drivers from Novell NetWare, IBM LAN Server, Microsoft LAN Manager, and Banyan VINES. If RPL is enabled on the adapter and on the network server, the system can boot from a server on the token ring network and thereby eliminate the need for local drives or diskettes.
    The RPL on the adapter can be disabled to allow the system to boot from its hard disk. In order to execute the RPL code on the TokenLink III MCA adapter, the hard disk must be made a nonbootable device. The file 3CTOKRPL.EXE is provided on the TokenDisk diskette for this purpose.
    This program deactivates the active DOS partition within the hard disk
without affecting the contents of the hard disk. Refer to your network operating system documentation for instructions on how to create a boot image that loads the token ring driver.

3CTOKRPL.EXE
   This program allows you to make a bootable fixed disk non-bootable. This allows the RPL(Remote Program Load) module on the Token-Ring adapter to boot from the Server.  All the files on the fixed disk will still be accessable as before.

Note:  This program will also allow you to make the non-bootable fixed disk bootable again.  Just run the program again and it will detect that the fixed disk is non-bootable.  It will ask you if you want to make it bootable again.  Just answer 'Y' and reboot.
   One more note:  It is assumed that the first partition on the fixed disk is the boot partition.  If, for some reason, the bootable partition is other than the first one, this program won't disable them.

(Ed. 3com claims that the 3c629 is 100% compatible to the IBM Tropic based NICs, and will run with the adf AND accept RPL for the IBM TR adapters...) 

Adapter Ring Speed
   The TokenLink III can operate at either 4 or 16 Mbps ring speed.  The adapter ring speed MUST match the Token-Ring Network.
  <"4 Mbps">, 16

Primary/Alternate adapter
   Up to two TokenLink III Adapters may be installed in a single computer. When multiple adapters are being installed in a single computer, one adapter MUST be designated as the Primary adapter, which is accessed at port addresses 0A20 through 0A23 and second as the Alternate adapter, which is accessed at port addresses 0A24 through 0A27. If only one adapter is installed, it should be designated as the Primary adapter.
    <"Primary" (0A20h - 0A23h)>,  Alternate(0A24h - 0A27h)

ROM Address Location
   There are 12 possible 8K blocks of PC memory that can be assigned for accessing the ROM area of the TokenLink III.
 <"CC000-CDFFF>, C8000-C9FFF, CA000-CBFFF, CE000-CFFFF, D0000-D1FFF, D2000-D3FFF, D4000-D5FFF, D6000-D7FFF, D8000-D9FFF, DA000-DBFFF, DC000-DDFFF, DE000-DFFFF

RAM Size and Address Range
   There are 30 possible blocks of memory that can be assigned for accessing the RAM located on the TokenLink III. The factory default RAM size and address location for the adapter, which support RAM paging is 16KB/D8000-DBFFF. RAM paging allows the software to access all 64KB of RAM on the adpater one page (16KB) at a time, while using only 16KB of  RAM. 
   <Choice "16 KB / D8000-DBFFF">, 8 KB / C0000-C1FFF, C2000-C3FFF, C4000-C5FFF, C6000-C7FFF, C8000-C9FFF, CA000-CBFFF, CC000-CDFFF, CE000-CFFFF, D0000-D1FFF, D2000-D3FFF, D4000-D5FFF, D6000-D7FFF, D8000-D9FFF, DA000-DBFFF, DC000-DDFFF, DE000-DFFFF
  16 KB / C0000-C3FFF, C4000-C7FFF, C8000-CBFFF, CC000-CFFFF, D0000-D3FFF, D4000-D7FFF, DC000-DFFFF
   32 KB / C0000-C7FFF, C8000-CFFFF, D0000-D7FFF, D8000-DFFFF
   64 KB / C0000-CFFFF, D0000-DFFFF

Interrupt Level
   The TokenLink III can operate on interrupt 2, 3, 10, or 11. The preferred interrupt level is 2, but it can operate on any of them if necessary.
   <"Interrupt 2">, 3, 10, 11
