* Introduction to the Ethernet PCMCIA Card. *
******************************************************************************
This disk contains a range of network drivers and card enabling software to
run your Ethernet Card with almost any network. The Ethernet Card
has been designed to be 100% compatible with a standard NE2000 Ethernet card.
This means that for the majority of the network operating systems, you can
install it using your existing network installation procedures, and
specifying "NE2000 Compatible" when prompted for an adaptor type.
Alternatively you can use the drivers contained on this disk. The INSTALL
directory contains .txt files which give information on network
installation.
This disk also contains PCMCIA enablers which you may used to install to
configure the PCMCIA port on your PC to work with the Ethernet Card.
C1SC.EXE Card enabler to configure the LAN card with or without
Card and Socket Services.
******************************************************************************
* C1SC.EXE INSTALLATION *
******************************************************************************
C1SC will enable the Ethernet card in NE2000 mode.
C1SC directly supports:
Intel 82365SL Controller (and ExCA Compatible Controllers)
VLSI 82C146 ELC PCMCIA controller
Cirrus CL-PD671X and CL-PD672X families.
DataBook TCIC-2/N Controller and family.
OKI MSM60802GS-K
Toshiba T3300 (TROPIC) Controller (Needs special T3300 drivers)
ThinkPad 720 Intel for MCA Variant
Sharp Controller
Socket Services 1.0+
Socket Services 2.0+
Vadem 465.
C1SC.EXE
The Ethernet card enabler can be used as a DOS command or as a device driver
in CONFIG.SYS. And must be executed before the Network batch file or
Network drivers are executed.
C1SC will work with or without Card and Socket Services.
C1SC does not terminate and stay in resident, and so it will not take away
any memory from your PC. For networks which load NDIS drivers in
the CONFIG.SYS, it must be loaded as a device driver.
The default IRQ line is 3, and I/O address is 300h (this is the
same as an NE2000 adapter card). The memory space is required to let
C1SC access the Card Information Structure (CIS) on the card.
However, C1SC will free the memory back to your PC once it has
read it.
If you need to specify a different parameter, they are
selectable as follows:
a) DOS command line :
C:\>C1SC /I=x /C=nn /M=mm /S=0
b) CONFIG.SYS file
DEVICE=C1SC.EXE /I=x /C=nn /M=mm /S=0
With the following options:
c = 1,2,3,4 = I/O port options (/C=1)
For Modem For LAN
c = 1 then base port = 3F8h c = 1 then base port = 300h
c = 2 then base port = 2F8h c = 2 then base port = 320h
c = 3 then base port = 3E8h c = 3 then base port = 340h
c = 4 then base port = 2E8h c = 4 then base port = 360h
i = 3,4,5,7,10,11,12,15 = IRQ options (/I=3)
m = C0-DF = Memory options (/M=D0)
s = 0,1,2,3 = Socket options (/S=0)
U = Unload driver when run from DOS prompt
H or ? = Help messages
Other Switches
--------------
If C1SC.EXE is configuring the Ethernet Card directly through the PCMCIA
controller it will search through all the available sockets until it locates
the card. If you have another card inserted in the system which is being
searched by C1SC then this may be reset as part of C1SC's attempts to
identify the Card. You may provides a switch to direct C1SC to a particular
socket with the switch "/S=x".
The value of x is from 0 to 3. If C1SC cannot locate the card in the
instructed socket it will not attempt to interfere with any other card in the
system.
You may choose to unload the driver from memory with the /U switch.
TROUBLESHOOTING
===============
1. When C1SC is run, either as a device driver or as a DOS line utility
it should return a message saying that the card is detected and
enabled. If the message does not appear, and the card is not enabled,
check that the card is inserted AND the pod is connected to the card.

* Network Driver Requirements *
******************************************************************************
Below is a table of network operating systems and the drivers required to
allow a network adaptor to work with them. If your network operating
system is not listed consult your vendor for driver requirements. The INSTALL
directory contains .txt files which give information on network installation.

* Modifications to Network Configuration Files *
******************************************************************************
Networks often have configuration files to store information on the type of
hardware and software being used with the network.
Two such files are the NET.CFG and PROTOCOL.INI.
NET.CFG is required by the ODI network driver for Novell Netware, Personal
Netware, Netware Lite etc.
PROTOCOL.INI is required for the NDIS network driver for Windows for
WorkGroups, LANTastic, DEC Pathworks, LAN manager etc.
The NET.CFG file will have the following text:
LONG MACHINE TYPE=DOS_62
Link Driver NE2ODI
; IRQ=5
INT 5
; I/O port=320
PORT 320
; MEM=D000
MEM D000
FRAME ETHERNET_802.2
FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
FRAME ETHERNET_II
FRAME ETHERNET_SNAP
PROTOCOL IPX 0 ETHERNET_802.3
The PROTOCOL.INI file will have the following additional text:
[NE2000_NIF]
DriverName=NE2000$
INTERRUPT=5
IOBASE=0x300
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
