SUPPORTED NETWORK CARDS
SMC EZ Card 10 Ethernet ISA Network Cards:
o SMC1660T
o SMC1660BT
o SMC1660BTA
The drivers you need are in the MSLANMAN.DOS and NDIS directories.
The NDIS drivers contained in these subdirectories are used with
3Com 3+Open, Microsoft OS/2 LAN Manager OEM distribution
Release 1.x or 2.x, and other compatible OEM versions of LAN Manager.
The drivers named SMC1660 conform to the Network Driver
Interface Specification (NDIS) defined by Microsoft/3Com.
Included in MSLANMAN.DOS and NDIS subdirectories
are the following files:
\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\SMC\
SMC1660.DOS The DOS NDIS MAC driver
PROTOCOL.INI A sample section of a PROTOCOL.INI file
\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\NIF\
SMC1660.NIF Network Information File
\NDIS\DOS
SMC1660.DOS The DOS NDIS MAC driver
SMC1660D.NIF Network Information File for LAN Server (DOS)
PROTOCOL.INI A sample section of a PROTOCOL.INI file
OEMSETUP.INF Network Information File for Windows for
Workgroups v3.1

Verifying Installation
----------------------
Verify that the network card was installed properly by running
the diagnostic program using SMCINST.
Note that this program only runs under DOS and will not run under
the OS/2 environment.
Sample PROTOCOL.INI Files and Parameters
----------------------------------------
[SMC1660_NIF]
; Default section of protocol.ini file for the
; SMC EZ Card 10 ISA Network Card
drivername = SMC1660$
irq = 3
iobase = 0x300
; End of this sample file
There are several parameters included in the SMC1660_NIF
section of the PROTOCOL.INI file. However, the only parameter
that you should specify is the drivername.
If you change other parameter settings, such as the iobase
or irq, make sure that it matches the hardware setting.
Otherwise, the card may fail.
If you don't specify these settings, SMC's NDIS driver
will automatically detect them.
irq Specifies the interrupt channel used by the card.
Acceptable values for this parameter are 2, 3, 4, 5,
10, 11, 12 ,and 15. However, not all of these network
cards support every value.
iobase Specifies the iobase address used by the card.
Acceptable hexadecimal values for this parameter are
0x200, 0x220, 0x240, 0x260, 0x280, 0x2a0, 0x2c0, 0x2e0,
0x300, 0x320, 0x340, 0x360, 0x380, 0x3a0, 0x3c0, 0x3e0.
List of Additional Parameters in the PROTOCOL.INI file
for the NDIS Driver Configuration
