                               NDIS2 MAC Driver
                     for DEC PATHWORK Installation Guide
                    ======================================


The driver named DM9PCI contained in the \NDIS20\DOS directory of your Driver
Diskette conforms to the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) defined
by Microsoft/3Com.

Installation Procedure
======================

 1. Insert the DEC PATHWORKS Client Setup diskette #1 into your floppy drive
    (either A: or B:).

 2. Type the following and press <Enter> to bring up the startup menu:

     A:>NETSETUP <Enter>

 3. You'll be asked if your keyboard type is LK250. Select "NO." If you are
    using an LK250 keyboard choose "YES."

 4. Next, you'll be prompted to choose a transport option. Select the "DECNET
    transport option" and press <Enter> to proceed.

 5. Your system will prompt you to insert the DNET TRNSPRT diskette #1 into
    your floppy drive. Follow screen instructions.

 6. Then you'll be prompted to specify a destination drive.

     Type C: or D:.

 7. When asked if you are creating an initial workstation diskette, select "NO."

 8. Type in the node name and address (i.e., node number) in the corresponding 
    field. Then press <Enter>.

 9. Type in the server node name and address (i.e., node number) in the
    corresponding field. Then press <Enter>.

10. When asked to "Select the network adapter type:", choose "Ethernet".

11. When prompted to "Select the network adapter:", choose "Other NDIS".

12. Indicate the directory location of your NDIS driver in the adapter driver
    diskette. For example, type the following:

      A:\NDIS20\DOS\DM9PCI.DOS
      or
      A:\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\DM9PCI.DOS

13. When prompted, indicate the directory location of the PROTOCOL.INI file in
    the adapter driver diskette. For example, type the following:

      A:\NDIS20\DOS
      or
      A:\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET

14. Select "WRITE KEY DISK" to save the settings that you have chosen. When
    prompted to copy the DM9PCI.DOS and PROTOCOL.INI files, insert the adapter
    driver program diskette into drive into your floppy drive.

15. Follow screen instructions to complete the installation.

16. From the Configuration screen, press F10 to exit to C:\.

17. Edit the PROTOCOL.INI file from the DECNET sub-directory. Remove the
    semicolon (;) from the statement "NI_IRQ = 5" under the [DATALINK] section.

18. Make sure that the IRQ value in the new [DM9PCI.DOS] section matches the
    NI_IRQ value in the [DATALINK] statement.
