    in the floppy drive and make that the active drive.

2.  At the DOS prompt type:
     3PCID [Enter]

3.  When the main menu appears, select Install, then Configure NIC and 
    press [Enter].

4.  The Configuration screen appears with the IRQ shown in the
    Standard Options box.


Banyan VINES Installations
--------------------------
To install VINES 6.0 software on a DOS NDIS workstation, follow these
instructions.  DOS must be installed on the target workstation C: drive or
you must have a bootable DOS floppy.

1.  Use the DOS MD command to create a subdirectory called \VINES.

2.  Copy the contents of the VINES LAN S/W (DOS) Install diskette into
    the \VINES subdirectory.

3.  Copy the contents of the NDIS subdirectory on the VINES LAN S/W (DOS)
    2 of 2 diskette into the \VINES subdirectory.

4.  Copy the TLPN2.DOS, TLNKP.MAC, and the PROTOCOL.INI fragment from the 
    NDIS2\DOS subdirectory on the TokenDisk diskette #2 to the \VINES 
    subdirectory.

5.  Edit the PROTOCOL.INI file to read as follows:

    [PROTOCOL MANAGER]
     DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$

    [VINES_XIF]
     DRIVERNAME = NDISBAN$
     BINDINGS = TLPN2

    [TLPN2]
     DRIVERNAME = TLPN2$
 
6.  Run the PCCONFIG.EXE program located in the \VINES subdirectory.
                                                         
7.  Select option 1, Network Card Settings.

8.  Select the NDIS Token Ring option.

9.  The NDIS Workstation screen appears. Enter the interrupt request 
    number (IRQ) assigned to the 3Com TokenLink Velocity PCI NIC. 
    
    Return to the Main Menu by pressing F10 twice.

    While still in PCCONFIG.EXE select "Login Environment Settings" from
    Main Menu and press ENTER.
    Choose "Select Default Communications driver" and press ENTER.
    Scroll down and choose "NDIS Token Ring".

    Exit from PCCONFIG.  Press F10 to save the new settings.

10.  Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and add the following lines, substituting
     A: for C: for a floppy disk installation.
                                   
     DEVICE = C:\VINES\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\VINES
     DEVICE = C:\VINES\TLPN2.DOS

11. Insert the following lines in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

     CD \VINES
     BAN
     
     BAN loads the NDISBAN drivers and reads the PCCONFIG.DB file to
     invoke changes made during the PCCONFIG stage.
