2. User guide for drivers installation

   Before You Install the Network Driver
   -------------------------------------

   Make sure which network driver you should use. The drivers for each OS
   environment are provided on the list:

        Windows 95 version 4.00.950 or 4.00.950a
        Windows 95 version 4.00.950b or OSR2
        Windows NT version 4.0
        Windows 98
        Windows 2000
        NetWare ODI Client

   Which Windows 95 version am I running?
   --------------------------------------

   You must determine if you are running the new Windows95 OEM Service Release
   2 (OSR2) or the standard Windows 95 before you install the network driver.

   Since standard Windows 95 does not support CardBus, the driver installation
   directory is different.

   Follow these steps to find out which version of Windows 95 you are running:

     A. In the windows 95 Control Panel, double-click Systemto display the
        System Properties dialog box.
     B. Click the General Tab to display the windows 95 version information.

   If your Windows 95 version is 4.00.950 or 4.00.950a, go to the next section
   to install the network driver.

   If your Windows 95 version is 4.00.950b(OSR2), go to the Windows 95 Version
   4.00.950b(OSR2) section to install the network driver.
