 Installing EP-427 PCMCIA network adapters for MS Windows for Workgroups
 =======================================================================

EP-427 network adapters are supplied with a driver disk which includes the
NDIS  driver.  The NDIS driver  file naming  convention  used by EP-427 is
<NICtype.DOS>.

The EP-427 NDIS  driver programs for DOS are developed following Microsoft
NDIS specification version 2.0.1. This document is a detailed step-by-step
installation procedure  for using EP-427 network adapters  with MS Windows
for Workgroups operating system.

3. Windows will ask for an  OEMSETUP.INF file. Since the OEMSETUP.INF file
   is included in the EP-427 driver disk, insert the diskette in drive A:

   Input the full path where the EP-427 OEMSETUP.INF file is located.
   ( i.e. A:\WFW31 )

4. You will see a Windows dialog menu listing all  EP-427 network adapters
   included in the OEMSETUP.INF file.  Select the network adapter that you
   will be using.

6. You  need to  specify IRQ and I/O settings, which must be  equal to the
  /irq and /io parameters specified to the Card Enabler program.

7. Windows will copy  the NDIS  driver file and update the Windows network
   system  automatically.

After WFW finishes the setup for the driver, it will modify your CONFIG.SYS,
AUTOEXEC.BAT, and PROTOCOL.INI files.
