Lantastic 6.0 - Cannot Load Multiple Adapters - Update NDIS2 Driver

Problem: With two adapters specified in the Protocol.ini and two 3C900 adapters installed, neither card is able to load. Customer Protocol.ini is as follows:

[Protman]
DRIVERNAME =PROTMAN$
DYNAMIC = YES

[CARD_ONE]
DRIVERNAME = EL90X$
BUSNO = 0
SLOT = 18

[CARD_TWO]
DRIVERNAME = EL90X2$
BUSNO = 0
SLOT = 19

If BUSNO=, and SLOT= are commented out the first adapter will load but not the second adapter. The second adapter gives an error "ERROR: To indentify an adapter use BUS=PCI or EISA. Optionally, you may also use SLOT=n, and also BUSNO=n (for PCI only) to select the adapter."

Solution: Use the updated NDIS2 Ver.2.0d available in 3C90XX.exe (12-17-96) with the configuration shown above.
