            NDIS Driver Installation Guide for LANtastic 6.0
         ======================================================

Introduction
============
    This document describes the procedure to setup NDIS 2.01 driver on
    LANtastic 6.0 operating system for AF-680 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet
    PC Card.

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

    The AF-680 Fast Ethernet PC Card is a NE2000 compatible card which
    means that any NE2000 driver should work. Most important, you must 
    enable the PC Card interface before you start the network driver.

    Location of Driver:   \NDIS2\Dos\AF680.DOS


Installation Procedure
======================
    The  installation  procedure  will	transfer  files  to  a	specific
    directory on the workstation and modify existing configuration files
    to fit your specific needs.  The installation utility INSTALL.EXE is
    located on LANtastic Network Software Disk 1.   Run INSTALL.EXE from
    Disk 1  and  the  LANtastic  Install program screen will appear. You
    must  complete each of the questions.  These options are specific to
    your needs.

    Before beginning, you must install Card Services release 2.10 or above.

    1. Prompt you to enter a unique Computer Name.

    2. Ask you to select the drive that you want LANtastic to be installed
       on. The default is Drive C:.

    3. Ask you to specify a directory where you want the LANtastic files to
       be installed. The default is \LANTASTI.

    4. Ask you if you want to Share your Computers Drives or Printers.

    5. Ask you to select the Maximum Number of Connected Computers.

    6. Prompt you to select any other LANtastic features that you may want
       to install.

    7. A summary screen of the options you will appear. If it looks correct
       continue with the installation.

    8. Prompt you to select a network adapter to run your LANtastic software
       ON. From the list of adapters, select "NDIS SUPPORT FOR NETWORK
       ADAPTERS".

    9. Ask you to insert the manufacturers driver diskette containing the
       driver files. Insert the AF-680 Fast Ethernet driver disk into
       drive A: and specify the source path for driver files as A:\NDIS2\Dos .

   10. Ask you if you want to Set Up Permanent Drive or Printer Connections.

   11. Another summary screen of the options will appear. If this looks
       correct then select Perform the Installation and LANtastic will
       now install the files.

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


   13. When complete the installation, then reboot your system.
