3Com (R) Corporation
EtherDisk (R) Diskette for the
3C90X Fast EtherLink XL/EtherLink XL Bus Master NIC Family
Windows Installation Information
The interrupt and input/output (I/O) address for the NIC are assigned
by the BIOS. These resources can not be configured using the 3Com
Configuration/Diagnostic program.
Windows 3.x or Windows for Workgroups (WFW)
-------------------------------------------
The 3Com AutoLink (TM) program can be used to configure the computer
in a NetWare environment. After connecting to a server, be sure to
run WSINSTALL for full Windows support. (Ask your network administrator
for the location of this Novell installation utility.)
For non-NetWare environments, install the client software as specified by
your network operating system vendor. Windows 3.x and WFW have internal
support for Microsoft networking environments. Proceed to Windows to
install these network drivers.
Windows 95
----------
Proceed directly to Windows 95. Do not configure the NIC using the
3Com EtherDisk diskette. The Windows 95 Plug and Play feature will
complete the driver installation for Novell, Microsoft, and most
other network operating systems.
Windows NT
----------
Proceed directly to Windows NT. Do not configure the NIC using the
3Com EtherDisk diskette. In Windows NT, use the Network icon to install
the network driver.
