(A) Installing the driver in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
=====================================================

    1. Plug SMC's EZ Card 10/100 (SMC1255TX)
       into one of the Master PCI slots of your PCI platform.

    2. Turn the power ON and then boot into Windows NT.

    3. Click the "My Computer" icon in the Main Program Group.

    4. Click the "Control Panel" icon in the Main window.

    5. Click the "Network" icon in the Control Panel window.

    6. Select the "Adapters" item, and then click the "Add..." button
       in the "Network" dialog box.

    7. Select "<other> Requires disk from manufacturer"  from the Network
       Adapter Card list, and then click the "Continue" button in the
       "Add Network Adapter" dialog box,

    8. Insert the SMC Driver Diskette in your floppy drive.

    9. Click the "Have Disk..." button in the "Select Network Adapter"
       dialog box.

   10. Enter the full pathname A:\WINNT of the driver installation
       information file (OEMSETUP.INF) in the "Insert Disk" dialog box,
       and then click the OK button.

   11. Select "SMC EZ Card 10/100 (SMC1255TX)" and 
       then click the OK button in the "Select OEM Option" dialog box.

   12. Select the Line Speed value (AUTO,100full,100half,10full,
       10half) and then click the OK button in 
       the "Select Line Speed" dialog box.

   13. Windows NT will copy the driver from A:\WINNT to 
       C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS directory and the OEMSETUP.INF
       from A:\WINNT to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 but rename it to another
       installation information file (OEMNADxx.INF). So the next time,
       If you want to add SMC EZ Card 10/100 (SMC1255TX) to your system,
       you do not need the floppy diskette again.

       NOTICE!! C:\WINNT is the directory where your NT O.S. is located.

   14. After that, installation is completed.  You can see:

       "[x]SMC EZ Card 10/100 (SMC1255TX)"

       in Network Adapters list in the "Network" dialog box.

   15. To complete network installation, remember to bind the adapter to
       the transport drivers by choosing the "Bindings" button in the
       "Network" dialog box.

   16. Click the "Close" button in the "Network" dialog box.

   17. Remove the SMC Driver Diskette from your floppy
       drive.

   18. Restart your computer to initialize the network function.
