1. GENERAL
To use the LAN/MODEM PCMCIA PC Card, your system must be
equipped with the following:
* 3.5'' high-density(1.44MB) floppy diskette drive
* a PCMCIA PC Card Standard, Type II or Type III slot
* a hard disk drive
* IBM or Microsoft DOS version 5.0 or higher
* Ethernet network operation system workstation software compatible
with ODI or NDIS drivers
* For use with Card Services based on PCMCIA release 2.1 only:
4kB of system memory address space(the driver needs this space
to map in the PCMCIA configuration registers for the purpose of
performing the interrupt acknowledge routine)
* 32 bytes of I/O space on a 32 byte boundary(LAN)
* 16kB of system memory address space(the LAN contains a 16kB
buffer which is accessed by mapping it into the system's memory
address space using a technique knows as "shared memory")
* 8 bytes of I/O space on an 8 byte boundary(modem). Usually starts
at 0x3F8, 0x2F8, 0x3E8, or 0x2E8
* The Card and Socket Services MUST compliant to new PCMCIA February
1995 PC Card Standard
* The software enclosed in this disk does not yet support the hot
swapping feature

NET.CFG
LINK DRIVER PCMDF
PORT 300
INT 5
MEM D4000
FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
Setup Procedures for NetWare 3.11/3.12 Client :
-----------------------------------------------
Before you start with the installation process, make sure that
the adapter is properly installed and configured. Make sure that
your NetWare workstation operating system is properly installed.
1. Copy PCMDF.COM from the LAN/MODEM PCMCIA PC Card Diskette
subdirectory A:\NWCLIENT to your harddisk.
2. Create a batch file, or add to your STARTNET.BAT file the commands
listed above under STARTNET.BAT
3. Edit the NET.CFG file that you copied over. Edit the file per your
requirements (see examples above). If there are two frame types
listed, whichever frame type is listed first, that is the one that
the driver will load. See above for examples. The NET.CFG file
should be in the same directory with LSL.COM file.
Setup Procedures for NetWare 4.X Client with vlm:
-----------------------------------------------
The installation utility INSTALL.EXE is located on NetWare's
"Workstation for DOS" disk. Run INSTALL.EXE from the Workstation
for DOS Disk.
The NetWare Client Install program screen will appear. You must
complete each of the questions. These options are specific to your
needs.
1. Enter the destination directory for the NetWare Client.
(The default directory is C:\NWCLIENT.)
2. Gives you the option to automatically update the CONFIG.SYS
and the AUTOEXEC.BAT files or modify them at a later time manually.
3. Do you wish to install support for MS Windows ? (Y/N)
(MS Windows Subdirectory: default C:\WINDOWS)
4. Asks you to select a network driver and provide configuration
options. It uses the specifications you select to create the
file NET.CFG. Insert the LAN/MODEM PCMCIA PC Card drivers
disk when prompted for the driver disk and specify the driver path
A:\NWCLIENT
5. Press <Enter> to install
NOTE:
-----
1. Be sure to add LASTDRIVE=Z to your CONFIG.SYS file for the
network mappings to work properly.

COMMON NOTES:
-------------
Because the LAN/MODEM PCMCIA PC Card use share memory operation
for file transfer. The user need to avoid the memory conflict with other
devices or drivers like EMM386.
Example : To avoid conflict with EMM386, the user need to modify config.sys
as follow
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE x=D000-D800
if the adapter uses D000 as the share memory base
[NET.CFG]
Link Driver PCMDF
MEM D0000 <=== share memory base
Frame Ethernet_802.3
[PCMDF_NIF]
DRIVERNAME = PCMDF$
3. MODEM INSTALLATION
The modem function is enabled by default. The ComPort and ComPort IRQ
setting depend on the Card Services(like CardWizard).
This driver disk also support a Windows VxD driver to handle modem
and network operation in Windows operation system. The user need to
copy the VxD driver(WMFC.386 or PWMFC.386/Japan OS) to the same directory
of the driver.
4. SPECIAL NOTICE FOR GVC NOTEBOOK
The following 2 files can adjust PCMCIA Chip CL67XX's timing, they were
doing the same thing, the only difference is that one is device driver
the other is execution file.
PCM.SYS : PCMCIA Device Driver to change PCMCIA CHIP CL67XX timing
for fast CPU like Pentium can work with some time critical
PCMCIA card.
a. use with SystemSoft Cardsoft Driver
add one device line after Socket Service Driver
DEVICEHIGH=C:\CARDSOFT\SSCIRRUS.EXE
-->DEVICE=C:\PCM.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=C:\CARDSOFT\CS.EXE
b. use it separately without Socket Service Driver
-->DEVICE=C:\PCM.SYS
PCM.COM : PCMCIA Utility to change PCMCIA CHIP CL67XX timing
for fast CPU like Pentium can work with some time
critical PCMCIA card
5. SOME NOTEBOOK BIOS BUG NOTICE
Some early version BIOS will not clear the COM port setting in system
memory area after the soft reset. In this case, the available COM port
being assigned to the PCMCIA LAN/MODEM will toggle(ex. COM2, COM3) on
each soft reset. To do the hardware reset will avoid this condition. Or
you can contact your notebook supplier to update your BIOS.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
