   and the driver will function.

9. Installation is completed for Windows 95 version 0 and A.

"Update Device Driver Wizard" installation procedures:

If your Windows 95 is version B (OSR2), you must CAREFULLY install
PowerNIC LAN card drivers from the release diskette, due to that
this version's "Update Device Driver Wizard" utility has poor error
recovery ability. (If you make mistakes during the installation,
refer to Appendix A for the error recovery). Please follow the
installation steps in details below.

4. When the "Update Device Driver Wizard" dialogue box shows up, and
   in it, it says "This wizard will complete the installation of
   "NE2000 Compatible", put this PowerNIC LAN card's release
   diskette to floppy drives and make sure the the drive's door is
   CLOSED. Then click "Next" button ONE TIME only. (Don't rush to push the
   "Next" button again. The rush "Next" button clicked would be assumed as
   "Finished" and may cause error installations (Appendix A for error
   recovery). It is going to take 30 seconds for Windows 95 to search the
   card's driver. Then, another message "Windows found the following updated
   driver for this device: CNet PowerNIC CN200/600/650Eplus Ethernet Adapter",
   shows up, then click "Finish" button to complete the driver installation.
   (If it shows "Windows was unable to locate a driver for this device.",
   You may also click "Other Locations" and type A:, A:\WIN95, B:, or
   B:\WIN95, then click "OK" button). After the "Finish" button id clicked,
   Windows starts to copy files from Windows 95 CD-ROM to your hard
   disk. This is going to take around two minutes, please wait.

5. When the "Copying Files" dialogue shows up to request the directory
   for the "E200P.SYS" file. Type "A:\WIN95" or "B:\WIN95" where A:
   or B: drive is the place you put the release dskette in, then click "OK".
   Windows 95 also request Windows95 CD directory to copy network-
   related files. Please type the your Windows 95 CD directory name.
   (Traditionally, it is D:\WIN95 or D:\WINDOWS).

6. Restart your PC to complete the installation.

Appendix A: (Valid only for WIndows 95 version B installation)

No matter what mistakes you made in the version B's installtion procedures
above and can not install the card to Windows 95. The "Update Device Driver
Wizard" utility still REGISTERS to Windows 95 that the card is installed
(with incoomplete error info., of sourse). Even though you carefully follow
the installation procudures above for the second time to successfully install
the driver, Windows 95 still treats the card as bad because the error data
was already REGISTERED. Therefore, you have to remove the REGISTERED errors,
before you try to install the driver again. The following describes the
details to remove the registered errors.

1. Click "Network" icon in the "Control Panel" box and remove the
   PowerNIC Ethernet card you just successfully installed if any.
2. Select "Start" button (left-down corner) and select "Run" item.
