*** PC/TCP v2.05 and v2.11 Installation for NI6510 EtherBlaster with NDIS ***
*****************************************************************************
1a. Install PC/TCP Version 2.05 beginning with the diskette
labelled "Workstation Distribution #1".
1b. Install PC/TCP Version 2.11 beginning with the diskette
labelled "Regular Distribution #1". When prompt for DISK #2
insert diskette labelled "Workstation Distribution #2".
2. Once the above installation is completed, update the
config.sys, autoexec.bat, and protocol.ini files to reflect
the samples provided.
3. Copy the proper files into the \pctcp\ndis subdirectory
as per samples below.
4. Install the NI6510 and you should be up & running when the PC
boots up.

*** Lan Manager for NI6510 EtherBlaster with NDIS ***
*******************************************************
1. The Lan Manager for DOS or OS/2 must be installed before
the NDIS driver will function. The installation procedure
for Lan Manager is menu driven. Among the items you will be
prompted for during the installation include the Network
Transport Protocol (e.g. Netbeui), and the NDIS driver
(e.g. NI6510.DOS). Another file that is installed during
this procedure is the Protman.sys file. This file is
responsible for binding the transport protocol to the NDIS
driver.
2. You must examine the Protocol.ini file and ensure that the
following are specified:
a. The Transport protocol and which driver to bind it to.
b. The NDIS driver
c. The network interface board settings.
(e.g.)
[protocol manager]
drivername=protman$
[Netbeui]
DriveName=Netbeui$
Bindings=NI6510_NIF
.
.
[NI6510_NIF]
DriverName=NI6510$
IOBase=0x300
MaxTransmits=6
MaxReceives=4
MaxMulticasts=10
3. You must examine the Config.sys file and verify that the path to
Protman.sys file, the NDIS driver file, and the Transport protocol
file are correct.
(e.g.)
device=C:\path\protman.sys /I:C:\path to protocol.ini
device=C:\path\NI6510.DOS
device=C:\path\Netbeui.sys ...
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
