    1. Install the card in the PCI slot and connect the cable to the
       network; turn on the computer and start Windows 98. **HAVE YOUR
       WINDOWS 98 CD ROM AVAILABLE** because you will need to copy some
       additional system files.

       appears identifying the card as a "PCI Ethernet Controller".

          remove it.

          Note, if you do not see any "PCI Ethernet Controller", Windows
          98 fails to detect your adapter. There may be problem with the
          adapter itself or with the system BIOS.

       g. Click Refresh and a "Add New Hardware Wizard" appears
          identifying the card as a "PCI Ethernet Controller".

       h. goto next step.

    3. Click Next then select "Search for the best driver for your device
       [Recommended]".

    4. Click Next then enable the "Specify a location" check box; insert
       the "FriendlyNET PCI595 Fast Ethernet Adapter Drivers Disk" in your
       floppy drive A: and specify correct path, e.g. A:\WIN98

    5. Click Next then Windows 98 identifies the card as "FriendlyNET PCI595
       Fast Ethernet Adapter [NDIS5]" and the "Location of driver:" is
       A:\WIN98\NETSIS.INF.

    6. Click Finish to let Windows 98 finishes the driver installation.

       <1>. MediaType

            100BaseTX

            xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx, where xx is a hexadecimal byte value.
            Unless necessary, do NOT modify this field and let the system
            use the default Ethernet address contained in the serial ROM
            on the adapter.
