			EISA configuration README
			=========================

The EISA configuration files located in this directory

    !DEC2030.CFG (Use with DE203-AA or -AB EtherWORKS Network Adapter)     
    !DEC2040.CFG (Use with DE204-AB (only) EtherWORKS Network Adapter)     
    !DEC2050.CFG (Use with DE205-AA or -AB EtherWORKS Network Adapter)     

are required if you are using your EtherWORKS3/TURBO network adapter as an 
EISA device in an EISA system. This is regardless of the device driver or 
network operating system.  The configuration files are loaded utilizing the 
EISA Configuration Utility included with your EISA personal computer.  Please 
consult the owner's manual that was included with your personal computer if 
you are unsure as to how to execute the utility.

    Note: The NDIS3 driver for Windows for Workgroups is not supported 
	  when the EtherWORKS 3 card is operating in EISA mode. The 
	  EtherWORKS 3 card can be run as an ISA device in EISA machines 
	  (using the NDIS3 driver) with *NO* performance difference.


To set up an EtherWORKS 3 module for EISA mode perform the following:

 1. Place the module in your EISA machine and execute the NICSETUP utility.
 2. From the NICSETUP utility select the SETUP option that appears in the main 
    menu. Hit <CR> twice so that the I/O BASE selection is highlighted.
 3. If another <CR> is entered you will notice that an IO BASE address(most 
    likely 300H) is highlighted on the right hand column of the USER SELECTED 
    VALUE box.
 4. Press the PAGE DOWN(or ARROW) key until the EISA option appears (Note this 
    will only show up when NICSETUP detects an EISA PC).
 5. Select the EISA option so that "I/O BASE = EISA".
 6. Change any other settings(Memory Mode, Memory Base address, IRQ etc.) 
    that are required by your PC's operating environment.
 7. Select SAVE SETUP DATA to save your changes.
 8. To verify your EISA address, select MODULE STATUS from the main menu. Hit 
    <CR> twice. You will now notice a large box of information that appears to 
    the right of your screen. At the very top, I/O BASE will now be equal to 
    your EISA address. The value will be nC00H. (where "n" is the slot number 
    of the module).
 9. Exit the NICSETUP utility.
10. Power down(cold boot) your PC and power it back up to load saved settings.

You can now proceed to run your EISA Configuration Utility(ECU) to ADD your
your EtherWORKS 3 card to your EISA system's configuration. 

(If the EtherWORKS 3 card fails DIAGNOSTICS with an FF error it is probably 
because the module was not configured correctly while executing your EISA 
Configuration Utility. The module must be configured using the appropriate 
!DEC20x0.CFG file.)

NOTE: It is *NOT* necessary to hardstrap the EtherWORKS 3 card for EISA mode
      operation. Strapping the board for that setting will prevent the ECU 
      utility from finding the EtherWORKS 3 card and cause a slot error. 
      Hardstrapping the card to EISA mode is needed if the module is 
      configured such that a conflict occurs causing the PC to be inoperable. 
      This strapping will allow the board to be reconfigured so that the 
      conflict can be corrected.
