Subject: VirtualPC with LanManager DOS

I'm trying to get the following configuration running in Virtual PC
1.0.1
:

* MS-DOS 6.22;
* MS LAN Manager DOS 2.2a :

<ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/BusSys/Clients/LANMAN.DOS/>
* Digital DC21X4 NDIS Driver 4.31 :

<http://www.windows.digital.com/ntsbuftp/000000C9.ZIP>

When I reboot VPC, the boot process runs fine until :
|...
|
|Connectix CD-ROM Driver, Version 1.0 (IDECD001)

|

|MS DOS LAN Manager Protocol Manager v2.0

|

|Digital Semiconductor 2104x/2114x 10/100 mbps Ethernet Controller v2.60

The only (automatic) reply I got from Connectix pointed to some FAQ not
available on their Web site. The "Connectivity FAQ" mentioned a
different driver than mine for the DC21X4 chip but didn't gave any URL :
>DOS AND WIN 3.11 ETHERNET SUPPORT
>
>For DOS support, download:
> Novell Client Unified DC21x4 driver
> 16-bit ODI driver for DOS
> Unified driver supporting 21040, 21041, 21140, 21140A,
> 21142, and 21143
> Updated: 07 Apr 1997
> Size: 38KB
> Version: 2.52

I searched at Novell, Digital, and some other place but couldn't found
somthing similar.

So, my questions are :
1. does anybody have succesfully set up a MS-DOS 6.22/DC21X4 driver/MS
LAN Manager DOS config and how ?
2. does anybody knows the location of the Connectix recommended DC21X4
driver ?

TKS,

Georges Martin
