IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
=============================================================================

*  This driver supports the PNIC-100 Fast Ethernet Adapters.

*  This driver conforms to the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS)
    v2.0.1 defined by Microsoft/3Com. The driver has been tested with
    Microsoft LAN Manager, 3Com 3+Open, IBM LAN Server, IBM PC LAN
    Program, DEC Pathworks, and other NDIS-compatible network operating
    systems and protocol stacks.

*  Make sure that the adapter line speed matches the speed of
    the hub to which it is attached.

=============================================================================
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
=============================================================================

Hardware Requirements:
*  IBM-compatible personal computer (PC), 80486 or higher with PCI bus
    supporting bus master mode.

*  PNIC-100 Fast Ethernet Adapter for PCI bus

Software Requirements:

*  MS-DOS 5.0 or later with one of the following:

    *  Microsoft LAN Manager v1.3 or v2.x
    *  Microsoft Windows for Workgroups v3.1
    *  PATHWORKS for DOS v4.1

    OR

    *  OS/2 v1.3 or v2.x with LAN Manager (the driver should work with LAN
        Server, but the driver has not yet been tested with it; therefore, no
        installation support is provided in this release)

=============================================================================
FILES PROVIDED
=============================================================================

*  L100.DOS              NDIS2 DOS driver
*  L100.NIF              MS LAN Manager network information file
*  L100.OS2              NDIS2 OS/2 driver
*  OEMSETUP.INF          Windows for Workgroups network information file
*  PROTOCOL.INI          Driver binding information and operational parameters

=============================================================================
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
=============================================================================

*  See the User Guide for complete installation instructions.

*  When installing the PNIC-100 Fast Ethernet Adapter in a PCI
     computer, make sure the slot you select supports bus master operations.

*  No specialized setup is necessary for motherboards with automatic
    PCI parameterization (most new PCs support it).

*  For motherboards with bus master jumpers and interrupt jumpers for
   PCI slots:

   1.  Using the appropriate motherboard jumper, enable bus master operations
        for the selected PCI slot.

   2.  Using the appropriate motherboard jumper, select the interrupt to the
        selected PCI slot.

   3.  Using your computer setup menu:

        *  Enable the bus master on the PCI slot.

        *  Enable I/O on the PCI slot.

        *  Define the interrupt number on the PCI slot.

DEVICE DRIVER INSTALLATION GUIDE
=============================================================================

Various network operating systems (LAN Manager, Pathworks, Windows for
Workgroups) provide utilities for installing drivers. The installation
diskette provides support for these utility programs FOR THE FIRST
BOARD ONLY.If you need to install more than one board, you must manually
install subsequent boards (See "INSTALLING MORE THAN ONE ADAPTER" for
details).

The following instructions describe the basic driver installation for any
Network Operating System:

1. Copy the files from the A:\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\L100
    subdirectory on the ConfigDisk to a subdirectory on drive C.

2. Using a text editor, add the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file:

    DEVICE=<drive>:[pathname]\L100.DOS

    If the driver is installed in DOS high memory, add the following line
    instead:

    DEVICEHIGH=<drive>:[pathname]\L100.DOS

    Adapter configuration information displays when you reboot the system.

=============================================================================
INSTALLING MORE THAN ONE ADAPTER
=============================================================================

To install more than one adapter, follow the manual installation procedures
for your operating environment, adding '2', '3',  and so on to the device
driver name in the PROTOCOL.INI file. Each driver name and section must be
unique.

Example:

L100$
L1002$
L1003$

SLOT must be specified when installing more than one adapter.

The following example shows the PROTOCOL.INI file contents for two adapters
installed under Windows for Workgroups (using twisted pair wiring):

[network.setup]
version=0x3100
netcard=L100,1,L100
netcard=L1002,1,L1002
transport=ms$netbeui,MS$NETBEUI
lana0=L100,1,ms$netbeui
lana1=L1002,1,ms$netbeui

[protman]
DriverName=PROTMAN$
PRIORITY=MS$NETBEUI

[MS$NETBEUI]
DriverName=netbeui$
SESSIONS=10
NCBS=32
BINDINGS=L100,L1002
LANABASE=0

[L100]
DriverName=L100$
SLOT=1
MEDIA_MODE = AUTODETECT
NETADDRESS=#000000000000

[L1002]
DriverName=L1002$
SLOT=2
MEDIA_MODE = AUTODETECT
NETADDRESS=#000000000000

The PROTOCOL.INI file contains binding and configuration information.  The
file consists of several named sections, where the section name is the
module name from a module characteristics table.

*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

NOTE:  You can get a stub version of the PROTOCOL.INI file, listing supported
              parameters, from the installation diskette root directory.

*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

The following sections describe the PROTOCOL.INI settings used for
the driver, their default values, the value ranges, and value units.

1.  Required Keyword:

     DRIVERNAME specifies the network device driver.

     DRIVERNAME=L100n$

     (where "n" is nothing for the first board, "2" for the second, and so on)

      units:[text]
      range:[L100$ - L1008$]
      default:[L100$]
