1.   Description of Files

     See the file, DISKINFO.TXT, in the root directory of the "Four of
Diamonds Trumpcard Installation For DOS / Win 3.x / 95 / NT, Diagnostics and
Utilities Diskette" for a complete listing and file-by-file description of
all files on all software diskettes for the Four of Diamonds Trumpcard.

  ==========================================================================

2.   Updated Installation Instructions

    For the DOS / Win 3.x / 95 operating systems the root directory of this
diskette contains all the necessary files for installing 16-Bit ODI, NDIS2
and NDIS3. It is recommended to use the installation/configuration program
provided to setup this diskette for the proper settings (IO port, IRQ, etc..)
based on the network operating desired.

    If manually installing a network driver without assistance from the
installation/configuration software, follow the instructions detailed in
the "Ositech Trumpcard Ethernet User's Guide".


2.1  DOS 16-Bit ODI Driver

     For installation under DOS using the 16-Bit ODI network driver, Ositech
supplies the required version of the NetWare Link Support Layer driver,
LSL.com.  LSL versions prior to 2.11 will not work with the Trumpcard 16-Bit
ODI driver. Ositech also supplies the Workstation Connection driver NETX.exe.
The automated installation program installs the Virtual Loadable Module
driver, VLM.exe, which offers better performance than the NETX.exe
driver.  Please see your network administrator for more details on manual
installation under DOS.

     Windows for Workgroups users PLEASE NOTE:  The ODI driver supplied (v4.06)
requires a special switch in the NET.cfg file (usually located in your NetWare
Client directory):  the switch is "ERX 0".  This switch should be placed in
the "Link Driver OTCETH" section and MUST be indented AT LEAST 1 (one) space
in.  Your NET.cfg should look like the following:

          Link Driver OTCETH
               ERX 0
               {any other parameters}
          {any other sections}

     This switch will prevent Windows for Workgroups from "hanging" when using
the Ositech ODI driver.

2.2  Windows 95

     You install the Four of Diamonds software you must run the SETUP.exe
program found on the "Four of Diamonds Trumpcard Installation For Win 3.x /
95 / NT, Diagnostics and Utilities Diskette".  You must run this before
inserting the Trumpcard into your computer.


2.3 Packet Driver (OTCPKT.com)

     A Packet Driver has been provided for the Four of Diamonds. The complete
manual installation instructions can be found in the README.txt file, located
in the \PACKET directory.  If you use the automated installation
(recommended) it will ensure that any changes required in your CONFIG.sys or
AUTOEXEC.bat files are made correctly.


2.4  NetWare 32-Bit ODI Server/Client Driver

     The Four of Diamonds comes with 32-Bit ODI drivers to allow you to use
your computer as a Novell NetWare Server or to use Novell's newest CLIENT32
software for DOS or Windows 95.  Detailed instructions are provide in the
\NETWARE\NWSERVER directory in the file called INSTALL.txt.  All the drivers
and enablers that are required for full functionality can also be found in
the above named directory.
