   Banyan Workstation Installation Notes 
   for Intel's EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA LAN Adapter
   ================================================================
      
  Location of Driver: \NDIS\E100ISA.DOS      

  GENERAL INSTALLATION
  --------------------
   1  The EtherExpress PRO/100 ISA adapter uses an NDIS 2.0.1 driver to connect
      to a Banyan server. If you have an NDIS client disk prepared, skip to
      step #6.

   2  To create an NDIS client disk, run PCCOPY (located on the Z drive of
      the Banyan server).

   3  Choose PC Configuration Software and/or LAN driver, then select NDIS
      Ethernet and PCCONFIG.

   4  Choose the appropriate DOS redirector. For example, REDIRALL for all
      versions of DOS.

   5  Specify the directory you want the client software copied to. The
      default is A:\.

   6  On the client you're setting up, copy the NDIS client software to a
      directory on the hard drive.

   7  Run Banyan's PCCONFIG program.

   8  Select Network Card Settings and page down to select the NDIS Ethernet
      option.

   9  Specify E100ISA_NIF as the PROTOCOL.INI bindings parameter.

  10  Select Login Environment Settings, then select Default Communications
      Driver. Page down to select the NDIS Ethernet option.

  11  Save the settings and exit PCCONFIG.

  12  Modify the PROTOCOL.INI in the BAN subdirectory or other directory where 
      Banyan client files are located file to make sure the file contains the 
      lines [E100ISA_NIF] above the DRIVERNAME=E100IS$ line as shown:

      [E100ISA_NIF]                                                                       
       DriverName=E100IS$

  13  Add these lines to your CONFIG.SYS: 

      DEVICE=C:\BAN\protman.dos /i:C:\VINES                                      
      DEVICE=C:\BAN\e100isa.dos      

  14  Reboot and run BAN to attach to the Banyan server.


   Hints and Tips
   --------------

  1  Error Message with PRO0025E:

     This type of message occurs when the driver attempts to bind to the
     protocol manager. It usually indicates there's a syntax or other error
     in the PROTOCOL.INI file. Review the file carefully for errors. Also,
     verify parameters entered in PCCONFIG. For additional information, see
     NDISBAN.DOC which is part of the NDIS Banyan client software.

  2  Make sure your NDISBAN.COM is dated April 1994 or later. Earlier
     versions may not work properly.
