4. For Windows NT 4.0, the user has to manually assign resources.
The user has to make sure the resources assigned are not used by any
other device in the system, or else there will be a resource conflict,
and the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) cannot work properly.

5. If you are using one of the MS-DOS based drivers, you can install the
Card Services and Socket Services drivers that are provided by the system
vendor. These services provide system wide resource management for PC
Cards. Please refer to the proper document on how to install the services.
The SMC8041 V.2 drivers will detect the presence of the Card Services
driver. If the Card Services driver presents, the SMC80412 drivers
will enable the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) with the help of
the Card Services.The interrupt (IRQ) and I/O space to be used by
the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) will be allocated by the Card Services.
Since Card Services driver allocates resources on a system wide basis,
the resources assigned to the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) will not
be used by any other device.
If the Card Services driver is not installed, the SMC8041 V.2 driver
will enable the adapter directly. In this case the user has to assigned
the IRQ and I/O resources manually. The user has to make sure the
resources assigned are not used by any other device in the system.
6. If you are using one of the MS-DOS based drivers, and if you installed
EMM386.EXE in CONFIG.SYS, please exclude a range of memory to be used by
the PCMCIA adapter as follows:
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-DFFF
This example reserves 64K bytes of memory for the PCMCIA adapter.
7. For installation instructions on the SMC8041 V.2 drivers, please refer
