                     Windows NT Installation Guide
                     =============================     

     Before inserting your Compex WavePort\WL11 PCMCIA card,
     the system's PCMCIA chipset must be enabled and functioning.
     The PCMCIA chipset is responsible for controlling the systems interface
     for PC Cards. If you have a newer PCMCIA controller on your notebook
     please contact your supplier for an update PCMCIA driver for Windows NT
     v4.0 before you install WL11 adapter.

     Please consult the system's manual or manufacturer for use with Windows NT.

     Windows NT is not a plug and play OS thus certain notebooks' PCMCIA
     controller may not initialize properly with WL11 card.
     For such notebooks additional card and socket software is needed to
     properly install the WL11 card. This software is widely available in
     computer shops. Examples of such software are CardWare for NT and
     Systemsoft for NT.

     Please resolve all system conflicts, errors, and Windows NT issues
     before installing the Compex WavePort\WL11 PCMCIA card.
