Introduction
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Thank you for purchasing the IC-CARD PCMCIA Ethernet card.
This diskette with network driver support for the IC-CARD PCMCIA
Ethernet card. There is a format change for this driver disk. All
READMEs have been reformatted, any easy setup program, and
consistency on all documentation provided.
NEC98xx drivers are not for NEC computers that are commonly sold
in the North America (ie. VERSA). In Japan one of the most popular
PCs is a non-DOS compatible called the NEC 9800 series of laptops.
Unless the Laptop is specifically marked with NEC9800 or compatible
, only select the "IBM PC or compatible" item.
During 1996, IC-CARD will change all driver disks to ARJ compression
for better driver management and provisions for even more drivers
to the disk. We hope our new readmes and installation will minimize
the users effort to make our products work.
