The datasheet for Madge Networks Token Ring Adapters. (Historical documentation) Part of the brief history of Madge Networks.

1. Commitment to Token Ring users
Since 1986, over 5 million Madge Token Ring
adapters have been installed in mission critical
networks. As these networks evolve towards
IP-based platforms with integrated systems for
voice, data and video, Madge offers users a
clear migration path whilst leveraging existing
Token Ring investment. This includes a complete
solution for 100Mbps Token Ring scalability and
the introduction of desktop switching, leading
the way towards fully-switched networking.
Reliability and compatibility assured
Madge works closely with PC vendors, industry
groups and network application developers to
assure interoperability. Innovative features,
such as server adapter mirroring, load
balancing and PCI Hot Plug offer unparalleled
network resilience and all Madge adapters are
Year 2000 safe and ready for new operating
systems including Linux and Windows 2000.
Madge adapters comply with PC98/PC99 design
guidelines and support the latest initiatives
including ÔWired for ManagementÕ.
Easy integration and scalability
Automatic adapter configuration and a single
driver for all adapters help simplify integration
into existing environments. Desktops and
servers can be connected at 4 or 16Mbps and
upgraded to 100Mbps full duplex without having
to re-visit the PC. The single software suite
enables a common, easily maintained set-up for
16/4 and 100/16/4 connections in servers,
laptops or desktops.
Reducing cost of ownership
Madge is helping network administrators
reduce the cost of managing and extending
their networks. Design innovation has driven
down adapter purchase costs whilst reduced
set-up costs are achieved through advanced
driver software and installation utilities.
Ongoing support costs are minimized through
proven reliability and intuitive driver revision
tools. Through evolutionary technology steps,
Madge is helping to extend the value of
investments made in cabling and network
infrastructure.
Versatile and scalable solutions
