E) Driver Installation for Microsoft Windows 95 OSR2
   =================================================
   If you have installed the Microsoft Client in your Windows 95 system,
   you should remove the adapter object and NDIS3 driver of the SMC EZ
   Card 10/100 (SMC1244TX V2) from the Windows 95 system and delete
   C:\WINDOWS\INF\FASTNIC.INF file.

   Install Novell NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95 OSR2
   ----------------------------------------------------
   1. Plug SMC1244TX V2 into one of the Master PCI slots of your PC.

   2. Turn the PC power ON and then boot from Windows 95.

   3. Windows 95 will prompt "PCI Ethernet Controller" in "New Hardware Found"
      dialog box. Please click on "Cancel" and do not install driver now.

   4. In WIN95 environment, run "SETUP.EXE" in the Netware 4.11 CD named
      \PRODUCTS\WIN95\IBM_ENU directory. Follow the installation steps of
      Novell NetWare Client 32.

   5. In "Select Device" window, please select "[detected net drivers]" and
      click on "OK" button to follow the installation steps of Client 32.
      (Please do not click "Have Disk..." to install adapter driver now.)

   6. After following the instructions to complete the Client32 for WIN95
      software installation, reboot your machine.

   Install Driver After Novell NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95 is Installed
   -------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1. Make sure Novell NetWare Client 32 is installed OK and then install SMC
      EZ Card 10/100 (SMC1244TX V2) Driver again. When the PC is powered on,
      Windows 95 will prompt "PCI Ethernet Controller" in "New Hardware Found"
      dialog box. (If your adapter is not detected by Windows 95, refer to
      TroubleShooting below.)

   2. Remove the SMC EZ Card 10/100 (SMC1244TX V2) Driver Diskette in your floppy drive.
      Click on "Next" button and do not let WIN95 search adapter driver.

   3. Insert the SMC EZ Card 10/100 (SMC1244TX V2) Driver Diskette in your floppy drive.
      Click "Other Locations" and type "A:\NETWARE", then click "OK" button.
      The message "SMC EZ Card 10/100 (SMC1244TX V2)" will appear.

   4. After the "Finish" button is clicked, Windows starts to copy files from
      Windows 95 CD-ROM to your hard disk. When the "Copying Files" dialogue
      shows up to request the directory for the "FASTNIC.LAN" file, type
      "A:\NETWARE" and click on the "OK" button.

   5. Follow the screen's prompt to insert "NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95"
      disk and click the OK button in the "Insert Disk" dialog box.

   6. Otherwise enter the full pathname (ex. D:\PRODUCTS\WIN95\IBM_ENU) of
      the "NetWare Client 32 for Windows95" installation files in the
      "Copying Files....." dialog box, then click the OK button.

   7. Follow the screen's prompt to insert the "Windows 95 CD-ROM" and click
      the OK button in the "Insert Disk" dialog box.

   8. Otherwise enter the full pathname of the "Windows 95 CD-ROM" installation
      files in the "Copying Files..." dialog box, then click the OK button.

   9. Windows 95 will copy the driver (FASTNIC.LAN) from A:\NETWARE to
      C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32 directory.

  10. Remove the SMC1244TX V2 Driver Diskette from your floppy drive.

  11. Restart your computer to initialize the network function.

  NOTE:
    - C:\NOVELL is the directory where your Novell Client 32 files are located.
    - C:\WINDOWS is the directory where your Windows 95 O.S. is located.
    - Do not remove "Novell ODINSUP" from the Network control panel. Removing
      Novell ODINSUP also removes NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95 if there
      is only one adapter in use.

  TroubleShooting in Windows 95
  -----------------------------
    If your adapter is not detected by Windows 95 "New Hardware Found", your
    adapter may be already REGISTERED. Therefore, you have to remove the
    REGISTERED before you install adapter driver again.

    Method:
    1. Click "Network" icon in the "Control Panel" box to make sure your
       adapter driver not installed. If your adapter driver was installed,
       remove it.
    2. Select "Start" button (left-down corner) and select "Run" item.
       Type REGEDIT, the registry edidor utility , then click "OK" button to
       execute it.
    3. In the Registry Editor dialogue, double-click "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" item,
       double-click "Enum", then double-click PCI item. Select the
       "VEN_1317&DEV_0985", then delete it. Close Register Editor dialogue.
    4. Reboot Windows 95 again to carefully follow the installtion procedures
       above again.


F) Parameter Description for FastNIC.LAN
   =====================================
   The following parameters are used in FastNIC.LAN.

   1. SLOT:     specifies which adapter is enabled when multiple LAN adapters
                are found in your computer.

                Ex: LOAD FastNIC SLOT=1 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
                    LOAD FastNIC SLOT=1 FRAME=ETHERNET_II

   2. FRAME   : specifies which frame type is used by the driver. Accepted
                values are Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_802.3, Ethernet_II and
                Ethernet_SNAP. Multiple frame types can be enabled by the
                driver by loading the same driver with different FRAME types.

                Ex: LOAD FastNIC FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
                    LOAD FastNIC FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3
                    LOAD FastNIC FRAME=ETHERNET_II
                    LOAD FastNIC FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP

   3. NODE    : Use a different address to replace the node address burned
                in EEPROM.

                Ex: LOAD FastNIC NODE=0200E8001122

   4. There are five parameters provided for specifying adapter's speed and
      duplex mode : AUTO, 10-HD, 10-FD, 100-HD and 100-FD.

                Ex: LOAD FastNIC 100-HD FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=LAN_A
                    BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=11
