                    Winbond Electronics Corporation

                               02/26/96


Description:

  1. 940-OD.COM is a ODI workstation driver. It is for the DOS environment only
     and therefore defaults to the 802.3 frame type.

  2. If there is only one 940 card, the driver will automatically read IOBASE
     and IRQ from PCI Configuration Space.

  3. If there is more than 940 card, user must indicate a specified IOBASE in
     NET.CFG file.

  4. If you want to login to Netware server, you need five files:

        LSL.COM
        940-OD.COM
        IPXODI.COM
        VLM.EXE
        NET.CFG


Installation:

   1. The running sequence is:

        LSL.COM
        940-OD.COM   --> Winbond DOS ODI driver
        IPXODI
        NETX

   2. Modify the NET.CFG file to set

      (a) 'Ethernet Frame' type if you wish; the valid NET.CFG files are shown
          below:

                Link driver 940-od
                frame ethernet_802.2
                frame ethernet_802.3
                frame ethernet_ii
                frame ethernet_snap

      (b) 'IOBASE' if there is more than one 940 card, the valid NET.CFG is as
          shown below:

                Link driver 940-od
                port d000

       For more information on NET.CFG parameters, see "NetWare Workstation for
       DOS" or "ODI for DOS User's Guide".

Trouble Shooting

  1. Message: 'FATAL: Winbond NIC Command port failed to respond.
               FATAL: Board failed to initialize correctly.'
     Solution: Make sure
               a. your W89C940 PCI card is plugged into the system, and
               b. if there is more than one 940 card in your system, you must
                  use the I/O port to select a W89C940 card. This is done by
                  adding the following statements to the NET.CFG file:

                        Link Driver 940-OD
                            port d000      ---> selected W89C940 card.

  2. Message: 'A File Server could not be found.'
     Solution: Make sure
               a. your W89C940 PCI card is connected to the cable,
               b. the Novell OS is active in this network,
               c. the frame type between client(your system) and server(Novell
                  OS) is the same.
