       EtherWORKS ISA Adapter in the menu, use OK button to install it.

   7)  And then DE305 DIGITAL EtherWORKS ISA Card Setup dialog box appear,
       you can specify "IRQ level" and "I/O Port Address" of the adapter
       plugged in your PC. However, this NDIS 3.1 mini port driver has
       support auto IO, IRQ scan for DE305 DIGITAL adapter, so driver can
       work even user select a wrong IO port and IRQ.

       For multiple cards installation, specify correct IO port and IRQ is
       necessary.

       of those Installed Adapter Cards and driver become one of those

       to your system, you do not need floppy diskette again.

       transport drivers by choosing "Bindings" button under Network Setting
       dialog box.
