                      SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2)
                          MS-DOS Enabler Program

   SMCOPEN.EXE is the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) MS-DOS enabler program.  You
   have to run SMCOPEN.EXE to enable the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2)before
   loading any of the MS-DOS drivers such as the DOS ODI driver, the
   NDIS2 driver, or the packet driver.

   To use SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) in a Netware Server environment, you also have
   to run SMCOPEN.EXE under MS-DOS before startinging the Netware
   Server.  If you neglect this step, the SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) server driver will
   not work.

   To use SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) in the Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, or the
   Windows NT environment, there is no need to run SMCOPEN.EXE.

   You can run SMCOPEN.EXE from the DOS prompt, or to install
   SMCOPEN.EXE as a DOS device driver in CONFIG.SYS.  To use
   SMCOPEN.EXE with the NDIS2 driver, you have to install SMCOPEN.EXE
   as a DOS device driver.  To use SMCOPEN.EXE with other drivers, you
   can choose the way that is more convenient.

   The syntax to run SMCOPEN from the command line:
         SMCOPEN [/IRQ=x] [/MEM=mm] [/IO=nnn] [/O] [/?]

         Valid options:
            x   = Interrupt number (3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 15).
                  This number must not be in use by any other device in the system.
            mm  = Hex memory location (e.g. C0, C8, D0, D8).
            nnn = IO range (300, 320, 340, 360).
                  SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) requires 32 consecutive free I/O port addresses.  
            /O (overwrites current socket settings).
            /? Displays this screen.

         The default value for IRQ is 3.  The default value for IOP is 
         0x300.

      
         Example:  The following command enables SMC 10/100 PC Card (SMC8041 V.2) with IRQ 5 and
                I/O port address 300:

            SMCOPEN /IRQ=5 /IO=300

      If you installed EMM386.EXE in CONFIG.SYS, please exclude memory 
      address range D000-DFFF or D400-D7FF from EMM386.EXE.  SMCOPEN.EXE
      uses this space to read configuration information from the adapter.

      [Example]
           DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-DFFF
