    These drivers conform to the Network Driver Interface Specification
    (NDIS 2.01) defined by Microsoft/3Com.

    Location of Driver: A:\MSlanman.dos\drivers\Pcmcia\AF680\AF680.DOS
    Driver description file: A:\MSlanman.dos\drivers\NIF\AF680.NIF


Installation Procedure
======================
    
    1. Installing MS LAN Manager at the first time:
       --------------------------------------------

      1. Execute the "SETUP.EXE" program that is provided by LAN Manager.
         Upon completion of retrieval of the last workstation disk's
         contents, you will be asked if you want to import additional
         network drivers.  Answer "YES".

      2. Insert this diskette into the floppy drive.

      3. Follow the instructions on the screen. "SETUP.EXE" program will
         retrieve NDIS driver programs from the diskette and put them on
         the hard disk and directory where LAN Manager resides.

      4. After completing the setup procedures, your CONFIG.SYS file
         will contain statements for the AF-680 NDIS driver programs.

      5. Before restart your system, add Enabler program  and modify CONFIG.SYS
         if you are using any memory management (EMM386, QEMM etc.). Please 
         exclude a memory block memory space for PC card. For example:
         
                 DEVICE=emm386.exe Noems X=D000~D3FF.
                 DEVICE=C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\AF680\EN680.EXE

      6. Reboot your computer and follow NDIS binding procedure to use the
         AF-680 NDIS driver programs.

    2. If you have installed LAN Manager in your hard disk already:
       ---------------------------------------------------

      1. Execute the "SETUP.EXE" program.

      2. On the screen, select 'Configuration', 'Network Drivers',
         'other Drivers' function and input correct diskette driver name.

      3. Insert this diskette into the floppy drive.

      4. Follow the instructions on the screen.  "SETUP.EXE" program will
         retrieve all NDIS driver programs from the AF-680 driver disk
         and put them on the directory where LAN Manager resides.

      5. Before restarting your system, add Enabler program  and modify
         CONFIG.SYS if you are using any memory management (EMM386, QEMM etc.).
         The user has to exclude a memory block for PC card as mentioned above.

      6. Reboot your computer and follow NDIS binding procedure to use the
         AF-680 NDIS driver programs.


    PS. Please reference the sample file for config.sys:

    --- Sample Config.sys file ---

       	  :
       	DEVICE=C:\HIMEM.SYS
       	DEVICE=C:\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-D3FF
	DEVICE=C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\AF680\EN680.EXE
       	DEVICE=C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTMAN\PROTMAN.DOS /i:C:\LANMAN.DOS
       	DEVICE=C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\AF680\AF680.DOS
          :
          
          
    --- Sample PROTOCOL.INI file ---

        [PROTOCOL MANAGER]
         DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
         DYNAMIC = YES
         PRIORITY = NETBEUI

        [NETBEUI_XIF]
         Drivername = netbeui$
         SESSIONS = 6
         NCBS = 12
         BINDINGS = "AF680_NIF"
         LANABASE = 0

        [AF680_NIF]
         DRIVERNAME = AF680$


Troubleshooting
===============
   
    1. Message: "!! No free AF-680 card in socket X"
       Solution: There is no any card in socket X, or the card in socket X
                 is not an AF-680 PC card, or it has been bound by another driver.

    2. Message: "!! Cannot open PROTMAN$"
       Solution: Make sure that PROTMAN.DOS is loaded before AF680.DOS,
                 and it is initialized successfully. If the syntax of
                 PROTOCOL.INI is incorrect, PROTMAN$ cannot be loaded.

    3. Message: "!! Bad Parameter in PROTOCOL.INI"
       Solution: The parameter is invalid. Please check the syntax of
                 PROTOCOL.INI.

    4. Message: "!! Unknown Keyword in PROTOCOL.INI"
       Solution: AF680.DOS accepts keywords: "DRIVERNAME", "IOBASE",
                "INTERRUPT" and "SOCKET". The others are invalid.
