1. Description of Files
See the file, DISKINFO.TXT, in the root directory of this "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. Installation Instructions
2.1 DOS
NOTE: This version of the Four of Diamonds Trumpcard software
does NOT include an automated DOS installation program. The
ODI driver can be installed through Windows by choosing the
"Novell NetWare" network option (as opposed to the "Windows
for Workgroups ODI Driver" option). A DOS based installation
will be available in the near future. Ositech Communications
apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
For installation under DOS using the ODI network driver, Ositech
supplies the required version of the NetWare Link Support Layer driver,
LSL.com. Earlier versions will not work with the Trumpcard ODI driver.
Ositech also supplies the Workstation Connection driver NETX.exe. The
automated installation program installs the high performance 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.
==========================================================================
2.2 Windows 3.x / Windows for Workgroups 3.1x
For Windows 3.x or Windows for Workgroups 3.1x users, we supply an
OEMSETUP.inf file that should work for a manual installation. If you perform
the automated installation, the Trumpcard configuration program modifies this
file with the choices that you select.
Please run "a:\SETUP.exe" from this disk for the automated installation.
==========================================================================
2.3 Windows 95
For Windows 95 users, we ask that you PLEASE perform the automated
installation of all files. An incorrect manual installation could cause
unpredictable/unreliable results.
Please run "a:\SETUP.exe" for the automated installation.
==========================================================================
2.4 Windows NT
Running "a:\SETUP.exe" installs the "Four of Diamonds Ethernet Help File"
and a readme file for Windows NT.
For Windows NT, the driver installation MUST be performed through the
Control Panel-Network (Add Adapter). When prompted for the driver diskette,
point the location to A:\WINNT after inserting the "Network Drivers Diskette".
==========================================================================
2.5 Other Operating Systems Using NDIS 2.01 Drivers
For other operating systems using NDIS v2.01 drivers, you must go
through the proper installation and configuration so that the protocol.ini
"stubs" can be properly modified.
==========================================================================
3. Installing the Packet Driver (OTCPKT.com)
The Trumpcard is now shipping with a packet driver. 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 the changes required in your CONFIG.sys
and AUTOEXEC.bat files are made correctly.
==========================================================================
4. Using the Trumpcard with a NetWare Server
Your Trumpcard comes with drivers to allow you to use your computer as a
Novell NetWare server. There is no automated installation for this option,
so 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.
