Using 3Com EtherDisk XL Version 3.01 Diskettes

The 3Com EtherDisk XL version 3.01 diskettes provided by Dell are compatible with the 3C905 family of network interface controllers (NICs). If you purchased a 3Com 3C905-based NIC separately, do not attempt to use the 3Com EtherDisk XL diskettes that came with the NIC. Use only the 3Com EtherDisk XL version 3.01 diskettes that were provided by Dell.
