WINDOWS 95 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MULTICARD

Overview
We suggest that you print this file out and read through it 
before you try it. This is a simple, but sophisticated procedure. 
We expect the people who try this to be experienced computer, 
network, and Windows 95 users. It is not meant to be a Windows 95 
or networking tutorial.  If you are uncomfortable doing these 
things or if these steps don't make sense, perhaps you should 
find someone who is more comfortable following these instructions. 

There are two situations these instructions apply to:
A.	Already installed MultiCards in Windows 95
	These instructions detail the steps to remove old
	drivers and install new drivers.
B.	First time MultiCard installation 
	These instructions detail the steps to install new
	drivers for a first time MultiCard installation.
----------------------------------------------------------------

A.	Already installed MultiCards in Windows 95
	Follow the procedure below to remove the old Windows 95 
	MultiCard drivers. 
(NOTE:  These instructions are only if you have previously 
installed Win 95 MultiCard drivers and want to either reinstall 
the drivers or install updated drivers.  Also, your MultiCard 
must already be installed and active in Windows 95 in order for 
this process to be successful.)
----------------------------------------------------------------

1.	Start Windows 95 and go to the 'System' option in the 
	Control Panel.
2.	At the next screen, click on the folder tab that says 
	'Device Manager'.
3.	You will see a listing of devices that are seen by the 
	computer.  Double-click on 'Multi-function Adapters'.
4.	The 'Apex Data Multicard' should then appear.  Click that 
	option, then click the box labeled 'Remove'.
5.	You will be prompted that support for this card is going
	to be removed.  Select 'OK'.  When it's finished, 'Multi
	-function Adapters' will no longer appear on the screen.
6.	Now go to your DOS prompt.  From your WINDOWS directory, go
	to the INF sub-directory. For example,  CD\ INF
7.      Now type the following:  DIR OEM*.INF.  For each filename
        listed, type the following: TYPE OEMxxx.INF |MORE.  When
        you have identified the Apex Data Multicard OEMxxx.INF file,
        DELETE it.
8.	Type EXIT to return to Windows 95.
9.	Close Windows 95 and turn off the computer.  Now you're 
	ready to install updated drivers for the MultiCard.
10.	Turn the computer on to start Windows 95.
12.	Once Windows 95 is running, insert the MultiCard into a 
	PCMCIA slot on the computer.
13.	A box will appear on the screen saying that Windows 95 has 
	detected new hardware.  After that, you will be prompted to 
	choose from a menu of different items asking you how you 
	want to install the MultiCard drivers.  Select 'Driver from 
	disk provided by hardware manufacturer'.
14.     You will then be prompted to insert this driver diskette or 
	specify the path where the Win 95 MultiCard drivers are 
        located.  After either specifying the path or inserting this
	diskette, select 'OK'.
15.	Windows 95 will go through two more detection phases with 
	new hardware being found.  Repeat the above steps 13 & 14 on 
	each phase. 
16.	When finished, the MultiCard will be set to go.  All you
	need to do is configure your network support for the card.  
	This can be done in the 'Network' option in the Control 
	Panel (consult your Windows 95 instruction manual for the 
	proper steps on how to do this).


B.	First time MultiCard installation 
--------------------------------------------------------------
1.	Turn the computer on to start Windows 95.
2.	Once Windows 95 is running, insert the MultiCard into a 
	PCMCIA slot on the computer.
3.	A box will appear on the screen saying that Windows 95 has 
	detected new hardware.  After that, you will be prompted to 
	choose from a menu of different items asking you how you 
	want to install the MultiCard drivers.  Select 'Driver from 
	disk provided by hardware manufacturer'.
4.	You will then be prompted to insert the driver diskette or 
	specify the path where the Win 95 MultiCard drivers are 
	located.  After either specifying the path or inserting the 
	diskette, select 'OK'.
5.	Windows 95 will go through two more detection phases with 
	new hardware being found.  Repeat the above steps 3 & 4 on 
	each phase. 
6.	When finished, the MultiCard will be set to go.  All you
	need to do is configure your network support for the card.  
	This can be done in the 'Network' option in the Control 
	Panel (consult your Windows 95 instruction manual for the 
	proper steps on how to do this).
