 Welcome to Accton's growing family of users and thank
 you for purchasing one of our many networking products.

 The most important thing for Accton's EN166x adapter is that:
 ======================================================================
 ** To use the EN166x adapter on Non-PnP machine, please run the 1Step program
 and set the adapter to jumpless mode, otherwise the driver can't recognize
 the adapter.

 ** To use the EN166x adapter on a non-PnP OS, please enter "PNP AND PCI SETUP"
 in the PC CMOS SETUP and set "PNP OS Installed" to "No", otherwise 1step
 and the drivers can't recognize the adapter.

 ** 1Step Ver1.01 or later can not be used with UNC diskette Ver 1.1, it
    must be used together with UNC diskette Ver 1.21 or later.

 ** The AccView Station program has been moved to the MPX WORK diskette,
 this disk is included in the 5-adapter package (EN166x-005), if you want
 to use this program, copy it from Accton's distributor.
