   Making Floppy Disks for NetWare and Windows Installation
  ==========================================================

You need to use a floppy disk to install the adapter drivers,
You can use the MAKEDISK.BAT utility located in the 
   
     CD ROM:\Intel55x\Makediak directory on this CD.

RUN :
        MAKEDISK [operating system] [destination]

where [operating system] is the OS for which you are creating the
diskette, and [destination] is the drive letter and path (such
as A:). If no destination is specified, the A: drive will be used.

The possible [operating system] options are:

NT    = Microsoft Windows NT
W2K   = Microsoft Windows* 2000
W9X   = Microsoft Windows* 95 and Windows 98 and Windows* ME
NW    = Novell NetWare servers and clients
DOS   = Microsoft DOS and IBM OS2
MODEM = Modem drivers for the PRO/100 Mobile Combo adapters
        for all Microsoft operating systems.


Make sure you have a 1.44 MB formatted, non-bootable diskette in
the floppy drive when using this utility.

NOTE: Due to size limitations, PROSet and other advanced features
      cannot be installed from the floppy disk.

NOTE: This utility MUST be run from the \MAKEDISK directory.

      Alternately, you can use the following .BAT files (located
      in the \MAKEDISK directory on this CD) to simplify this process:

      MAKEW9X.BAT -- Creates a drivers disk for Windows 95 and
                     Windows 98.

      MAKENT.BAT  -- Creates drivers disks for Windows NT.

      MAKEW2K.BAT -- Creates a drivers disk for Windows 2000.
 
      MAKENW.BAT  -- Creates a drivers disk for Novell NetWare
                     servers and clients.
