==================================================
A. Introduction
===============
This is a SCO OpenServer 5.0.x MDI driver for the PRO120 PCI Fast Ethernet
Adapter whose released version is 1.0.0. It is installed by "custom" and

2. Now boot the SCO OpenServer 5.0.x and enter the Maintenance mode.
3. Please follow the instructions below to uncompress the package file:
# cd /
# mkdir /mdidrv (Note: Don't make directory in tmp or change directory to
tmp; otherwise you will get trouble when the
system is rebuilt. )
# cd /mdidrv (and inserts the package floppy in the proper drive, i.e.
drive A:)
# doscp a:/sco-unix/mdidrv/Metfdrv.102 metftar
4. Then replaces with the prepared formatted diskette done in step 1.
# dd if=metftar of=/dev/rfd0135ds18
(Note: Use another device file name if you use a different floppy drive.)
5. Now the package installation diskette is ready for installing.
6. The following sections describe the configuration of the driver. It is
suggested that you should perform these instructions in the singler-user
environment (maintenance mode).
7. Run "custom" command and select the "Install New..." option under "Software"
item. It will prompt you "Installing: PRO120 100/10 Mbps PCI Bus Fast
Ethernet Adapter (MDI Driver) " and then choose the "FULL" option to
install this package.
8. After running the "custom" utility and the new package is installed, you
should use the "netconfig" command to add the driver into your system like
the step 10 below.
3.2. Run "netconfig" to add the desired LAN adapter. The steps
for adding the new LAN adapter are listed below:

'Hardware', and relink the kernel at the prompt.
4. To active the adapter, you must reboot. When the system boots, you should
