Introduction:
-------------
This document describes the procedure to install Microsoft Windows
for Workgroups v3.10 driver for ISA Plug&Play ethernet adapter. We
provide two NDIS drivers. The PNPNDIS.DOS/PNPNDIS.OS2 drivers are normal
drivers and PNPNDT.DOS/PNPNDT.OS2 are turbo NDIS drivers. It is highly
recommended to use the turbo drivers to improve network performance.
