    11. Windows 95 will copy the driver (SMC1255.LAN) from A:\LANDRV32
        to the C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32 directory and the SMC1255.INF file
        from A:\LANDRV32 to the C:\WINDOWS\INF directory.
    12. Remove the SMC1255TX  Driver Diskette from your floppy 
        drive.
    13. Restart your computer to initialize the network function.

F. Parameter Description for SMC1255.LAN

        The following parameters are used in SCM1255.LAN.

    1. SLOT        : specifies which adapter is enabled when multiple SMC1255TX
                   adapters are found in your computer.  The SLOT keyword 
                   is an index value corresponding to PCI BIOS.  The mapping 
                   from SLOT to the physical PCI slot is different from one 
                   machine to another.

                   Ex: LOAD SMC1255 SLOT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
                       LOAD SMC1255 SLOT=4 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
                   loading the same driver with different FRAME types.

                   Ex: LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2
                       LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3
                       LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_II
                       LOAD SMC1255 FRAME=ETHERNET_SNAP

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

                   Ex: LOAD SMC1255 NODE=0000E8001122

    4. Media_Type  : Specifies which medium type is used by the driver.
                   Accepted vaules are AUTO,10-HD,10-FD,100-HD,
                   100-FD.

                   Ex: LOAD SMC1255 SLOT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 Medium=100-FD
