hydra.device -- device driver for Hydra Systems' Amiganet ethernet card

Version 1.44

NOTE:  This has *nothing* to do with the Hydra networking protocol.

Just install it by copying the file hydra.device to DEVS:Networks, or wherever
your hydra.device currently is (if not in DEVS:Networks, probably in DEVS:).

I've been trying for some time now to get hold of a new version of this driver,
but for some reason I didn't succeed in getting it from the manufacturer.

At the Amiga Technologies booth at the World of Amiga (Computer '95) show in
Cologne I met Allen Brooks of interworks (abrooks@iworks.com) who distribute
the Hydra card in the US.  He kindly offered to send me a new version of the
driver, and said it was probably OK to distribute it since it's obviously of no
use to anybody who doesn't have the card.

There's no documentation or bug-fix list.  Sorry!  I also hope I don't get sued
over this--the copyright status isn't at all clear here.  Repeated attempts to
contact Hydra have failed but as far as I can see nobody is selling this driver
separately for a profit, so putting it up on Aminet is probably in the best
interest of everybody including Hydra.

Since some people on Usenet have been asking for the address of Hydra Systems,
here it is:

I am not related in any way to either of these companies.
