I'm trying to install this NIC - https://th99.infania.net/n/E-H/40145.htm

The most important part is at the bottom:
"Different drivers must be used for the National & the Fujitsu chipset cards, & are not interchangeable."

I've found some drivers, but they seem to be for the National variant, and don't work with my card.

I've also found some mentions:
"GQLANDRV.ZIP 157K Complete LAN_DRV_207 disk. Fuji Chipset. (Use pkunzip -d)"
"GQLANDRV.ZIP 951006 160227 6505/6506/6507 Fujitsu Chipset Distribut"
http://www.theflatnet.de/pub/hardware/3com/index.txt

...but can't find the GQLANDRV.ZIP itself!

Any help?

I tried to search FTPs and web and I found the LAN_DRV_207 itself here: https://archive.org/search?query=subject%3A%22gethernet%22

and a bunch of links there: https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/gat … 08/post-1431726

No success for the ZIP file itself, but it's the same content maybe?

They are both for the National chipset.

Meanwhile, I've found some pieces - https://discmaster.textfiles.com/browse/20300 … ary.iso/gateway
"GQODIWS.ZIP 56K ODI WS Drivers for 8, 16, and MC NICS. Fuji Chipset."
"GQTCP.ZIP 8K Standalone TCP Drivers for 8 & 16 Bit Nics. Fuji Chipset."

So, I got it working.
It should be noted the factory default for that card is IRQ 5, which conflicts with sound cards - a better choice is eg. IRQ 10.
But the drivers don't auto-detect the IRQ - the following is necessary:
- for ODI, add "int 10" to NET.CFG
- for PD, add "set GETHER=I:10" to AUTOEXEC.BAT

Anyway, I'm still looking for the complete package for Fujitsu chipset!
