Vintage Radius Documents

The documents linked below were extracted from the Wayback Archive's copy of the now defunct http://www.radius.com web site. The indexes and Q&A documents are from 1997 or 1998 copies of the site. Shortly after this time, these documents were withdrawn and support for legacy products was transferred to http://www.radiusvintage.com which is also now defunct.

Radius Index Documents 

These indexes are straight copies of the original pages on the Radius web site. Links on the index pages will try to locate documents on the Radius web site which no longer exists. I believe I have made a copy of most documents in the Wayback Archive. If you are unable to find a document on this site, try copying the URL from the index page and search for the original at Wayback.

Support Index <-- all links on this page are broken ;-( but at least you can see which documents might be available at Wayback.

Cables Index <-- some documents at Wayback contain pinouts for proprietary Radius cables

Radius Q&A Documents 

Some documents have been slightly edited to correct obvious typographical and HTML coding errors. The documents stil contain lots of HTML errors but display acceptably in most web browsers. Technical content has not been modified. Note that some issues discussed in these documents may have been corrected in later versions of the Radius drivers. Where dates appear on pages, this indicates when the information was last updated, not when it was collected by Wayback.
