    From looking at the unloved Etherstreamer MC32 page, it's sordid   
   lackluster. I did not comment out the ADF sections and choices. My bad.   
      
   Also, I have never delved into the UCode versions for the Streamer   
   family, my assumption is the last one is the best.   
      
   I need to grok the ADF, I saw things that could really conflict if you   
   let the system do an autoconfig. At times, either the hardware or the   
   ADF, or SC.EXE fails to properly configure the adapter, and as a   
   consequence, it bollixes up the configuration.   
      
   "All models of the following machines are supported by the IBM   
   EtherStreamer MC 32 Adapter:   
   o   The 8550, 8555, 8556, 8557, 8560, 8570, 8573, 8580, 8590, 8595,   
        8600, 9556, 9557, 9576, 9577, 9585, and 9595 PS/2 system units."   
      
   One RETAIN tip says your FRU is to replace a downlevel adapter, another   
   says it should be replaced, another says a workaround is to disable   
   streaming.   
      
   I have cut the ADF, and will make it [sl]easier to understand. It will   
   be posted to this NG when it's "dun", these edits are tedious, but not   
   difficult...
