                         NE34OD.COM Ver 1.20


                               02/26/96


Description:

  1. NE34OD.COM is a ODI workstation driver. It is for the DOS environment
     only and therefore defaults to the 802.3 frame type.

  2. If there is only one NE-34 PCI adapter, the driver will automatically
     read IOBASE and IRQ from PCI Configuration Space.

  3. If there is more than one NE-34 PCI adapters , user  must indicate  a
     specified IOBASE in NET.CFG file.

  4. If you want to login to Netware server, you need five files:

        LSL.COM
        NE34OD.COM
        IPXODI.COM
        VLM.EXE
        NET.CFG


Installation:

   1. The running sequence is:

        LSL.COM
        NE34OD.COM   --> NE-34 PCI DOS ODI driver
        IPXODI
        NETX

   2. Modify the NET.CFG file to set

      (a) 'Ethernet Frame' type if you wish; the  valid NET.CFG files  are
          shown below:

                Link driver NE34OD
                frame ethernet_802.2
                frame ethernet_802.3
                frame ethernet_ii
                frame ethernet_snap

      (b) 'IOBASE' if there is more than one NE-34 card, the valid NET.CFG
          is as shown below:

                Link driver NE34OD
                port d000

      For more information on NET.CFG parameters, see
