1. Introduction:

        The 1208INIT.EXE is an initialization program for SMC's EZ CARD 10 
        Ethernet PCI network cards.  It configures the cards for NE2000
        driver compatibility. This means that NE2000 drivers can be used to
        run the card when 1208INIT.EXE is loaded. Only the DOS ODI and
        NDIS 2 Real Mode NE2000 driver can be used. 


2. How to use the 1208INIT.EXE program:

   2.1  As a device driver:

        USAGE:
              DEVICE      = 1208INIT.EXE IO=xxxxh, IDX=x

        or    DEVICEHIGH = 1208INIT.EXE IO=xxxxh, IDX=x

        Include one of the above in your CONFIG.SYS file to enable
        NE2000 compatibility for this card.

   2.2  Running it from the command prompt:

        USAGE:
              C:\>1208INIT IO=xxxxh, IDX=x

        Type "1208INIT ?" to review the syntax.

   2.3  Keywords used in 1208INIT:

        IO:  Assigns the 32 contiguous I/O port base addresses as required.
             Make sure they do not conflict with other devices in your
             system.  If you omit this parameter, the 1208INIT will pick
             up the I/O addresses assigned by the PCI BIOS.

        IDX: This parameter is used only when you have multiple SMC EZ
             CARD 10 PCI cards in your PC. It indicates which SMC1208
             card is currently being defined by 1208INIT.EXE.

   2.4  Example:
                DEVICE = 1208INIT.EXE
                DEVICE = 1208INIT.EXE IO=300h
                DEVICE = 1208INIT.EXE IDX=0
                DEVICE = 1208INIT.EXE IO=D020h IDX=1

                C:\>1208INIT
                C:\>1208INIT IO=240h
                C:\>1208INIT IO=F060h IDX=0

   2.5  When 1208INIT is executing, it displays the card's I/O port
        addresses, IRQ and Ethernet address.  This information is necessary
        when running the NE2000 driver set. (You need to specify the IOBASE
        address and INTERRUPT values in PROTOCOL.INI when running 
        the NE2000 NDIS2/DOS driver.)


3. Running the NE2000 DOS/ODI driver:

   Example:     C:\> 1208INIT IO=300h
                C:\> LSL
                C:\> NE2000
                C:\> IPXODI
                C:\> VLM

   Contents in NET.CFG:
                      
                 LINK DRIVER NE2000
                     Port  300
                     IRQ   11
                      
                      
   You can get Port and IRQ values after running 1208INIT.EXE!


4. Running the NE2000 NDIS/DOS driver:

   Contents in CONFIG.SYS
                
             DEVICE=C:\LSP\1208INIT.EXE IO=D000h IDX=0
             DEVICE=C:\LSP\PROTMAN.DOS /i:C:\LSP
             DEVICE=C:\LSP\NE2000.DOS
                

   Contents in PROTOCOL.INI
                
             [NE2000_NIF]
                DRIVERNAME = MS2000$
                IOBASE     = 0xD000
                INTERRUPT  = 9
