   Windows 2000 provides a complete "Plug and Play" System that
   automatically recognizes and configures PC CARD.

   Before installing the PC CARD, Windows 2000's PCMCIA service must be 
   installed and enabled.  This service can be started in the Control Panel.

   Driver Installation Steps for Windows 2000:

       1) Insert PC CARD in one of the PCMCIA Slots and start
          Windows 2000.

       2) The "Update Device Driver Wizard" dialog box appears. 
          Click the "Next" button.

       3) Select "Other Locations".

       4) Insert the PC CARD driver diskette in the floppy drive (e.g. A:.)
          Type "A:\win2000" and click OK.

       5) The installation process copies all the required
          files to the hard disk.  If the process prompts the location
          of the Windows 2000 system files, place the Windows 2000 CD
          in the CD-ROM drive and enter the location of the CD-ROM drive 
          in the dialog box.  Please wait for the process to finish.

       6) Click "Finish" to complete the installation process.
          Then windows2000's Network is up and running.
       
   Note:

      When Windows 2000 and the Network is up and running, it is not
      recommended to remove the PC CARD from the
      PCMCIA slot without telling the system first.  Before you remove
      the adapter, please follow these steps:

      1) Double click on the My Computer icon, and then double click on
         the Control Panel icon.
      2) Double click on the PCMCIA icon.  The "PC Card (PCMCIA) Properties"
         window appears.
      3) Select "SMC 10/100 PC Card" from the list, and then click the Stop 
         button.
      4) Wait until the message box with the "You may safely remove the
         device" message appears.  Click OK.
      5) Remove the PC CARD from the PCMCIA slot.

      If you do not follow these steps and just pull the adapter from
      the PCMCIA slot, the system may hang and you have to reboot the
      system.
