  3Com Configuration and Diagnostic Program Runs in DOS Mode Only
  ---------------------------------------------------------------
  If you are running Windows 95, please exit to DOS mode before 
  running the 3Com Configuration and Diagnostic program.  If you
  are running Windows NT, boot from the DOS partition or boot
  from a DOS diskette.
        
  Installation Tips
  -----------------

o   Because the 3C319 is 100% IBM compatible, it uses shared
    RAM to transfer data.  If you are using a DOS memory 
    manager such as EMM386 on your PC, you must reserve 
    upper memory for the NIC.  The 3C319 NIC's default 
    configuration requires 16K of shared RAM at address
    D8000-DBFFF and 8K for the BIOS/MMIO area at address
    CC000-CDFFF.  You must edit the memory manager device
    statement in the CONFIG.SYS file to exclude the memory
    range.  For example:

    DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE X=D800-DBFF X=CC00-CDFF

o   The 3C319 supports Plug and Play configuration which makes it easy
    to install in many systems.  Windows 95 is the only network 
    operating system that supports Plug and Play configuration of the 
    NIC.  PnP configuration may or may not work in other environments.
    Also, older systems with an older BIOS may not recognize the NIC 
    upon install. If you have problems installing the NIC, make sure you 
    have the latest BIOS from your PC vendor. If you still have problems 
    installing the NIC, you should disable PnP and configure the NIC using 
    the Configuration and Diagnostic Program (3TRDIAG.EXE).  At the DOS
    command prompt, type:

    a:3trdiag co /PnP:disable

    PnP configuration will NOT work with the following drivers:
    
    - NetWare Server driver: 3CTOKEN.LAN
    - NDIS 2.01 DOS and OS/2 drivers: TLNK3.DOS and TLNK3.OS2 
    - IBM drivers: TOKEN.COM, TOKEN.SYS, TOKEN.LAN,     
                   IBMTOK.DOS, IBMTOK.OS2, DXMA0MOD.SYS,
                   DXMC0MOD.SYS

    You must disable PnP when using the above drivers.  
      
o   Make sure you have the latest BIOS version for your 
    computer.  Contact your computer's manufacturer to make 
    sure you are using the latest BIOS.  Here are the phone
