1. SMC 10/100 PC Card supports both the PCMCIA and CardBus slots on 
   notebook and desktop PCs.  SMC 10/100 PC Card are type II PC Cards 
   that conform to the PC Card Standard.  Please refer to www.pc-card.com 
   for the related PC Card Standard.

2. The SMC 10/100 PC Card supports 10 Mbps Ethernet hubs, 100 Mbps Ethernet 
   hubs, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet hubs,10 Mbps Ethernet switches, and 10/100 
   Mbps Ethernet switches.

3. Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Millennium, and Windows 2000
   are plug-and-play systems for PC Cards.   The IRQ and I/O space resources
   required for the PC Card's operation are allocated by the Windows system
   automatically, and the user does not have to do any manual resource 
   assignment.

4. For Windows NT 4.0, the user has to manually assigned 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 PC Card cannot work properly.  Please refer to the
   document in the \WINNT directory for details.

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 PC Card drivers will detect the presence of the Card Services
   driver.  If the Card Services driver presents, the PC Card drivers
   will enable the PC Card with the help of the Card Services.
   The interrupt (IRQ) and I/O space to be used by the PC Card
   will be allocated by the Card Services.  Since Card Services driver
   allocates resources on a system wide basis, the resources assigned to
   the PC Card will not be used by any other device.

   If the Card Services driver is not installed, the PC Card 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 PC Card drivers, please refer
   to the documents in each driver's directory.
