SCO README
==========
This readme.txt file covers the SCO Unix LLI and MDI device
drivers for Digital's EtherWORKS 3 adapters.
o MDI Driver
The SCO MDI Driver is designed to work on the new SCO
OpenServer Release 5.0 OS, but is not backwards compatible
to the older SCO OpenServer Release 3.0 and earlier operat-
ing systems. Installation using the Software Manager is
straight forward and should not present any problems nor
error messages.
o LLI Driver
The SCO LLI Driver is designed to work on the older SCO
OpenServer Release 3.0 OS as well as the new SCO OpenServer
Release 5.0. However, DIGITAL does not recommend using the
LLI driver with SCO OpenServer Release 5.0. Upgrade to the
new MDI driver when running the newer SCO OS.
MDI driver (v1.0.3)
------------
To install the SCO Unix MDI Device Driver:
- Run the Software Manager, select the 'Software->Install New'
menu item and follow the on-screen popup dialog boxes for
instructions. The distribution media is the floppy disk
supplied with the adapter.
- Run the Network Configuration Manager, select
'Hardware->Add New LAN Adapter' menu item and follow the
on-screen popup dialog boxes for instructions. Relink the
kernel on exiting this utility.
- To activate the adapter, you must reboot. When the system
boots, you should see a message similar to the following
message among the other configuration messages:
%dex0 0x240-0x2ff 5 - type=DE203-AB addr=12:34:56:78:9a:bc
with the appropriate I/O addresses, IRQ, adapter type and
IEEE address.
Fixes since 1.0.2
-----------------
-fixes error in recieve routine that caused kernel panic
and/or TCP errors on fast or heavily loaded machines.

Digital EtherWORKS 3/TURBO Driver for SCO UNIX V1.4 (Build 1.60)
The EtherWORKS 3 TURBO driver supports SCO UNIX ODT V2.0,
ODT V3.0, and Meridian LAT.
To install the driver:
First copy the ewrk3sco.tar file from the distribution diskette to the
UNIX partition using the doscp(C) command or DOS Merge. Copy the tar
file to a UNIX formatted floppy using the dd(C) utility. Configure the
driver using the netconfig(ADM) utility.
Install example:
# dd if=ewrk3sco.tar of=/dev/fd0
.
.
.
# netconfig // configure kernel, tcp/ip, etc.
.
.
.
Fixes since V1.3:
=================
- Fixed intermittent spurious interrupt/hang problem.
- Fixed minimum/maximum PDU size to be consistent with
TCP/NFS/IPX requirements.
- Fixed transmit bug that caused NFS write timeouts under heavy
load.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
