  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

   (1) Introduction:
   -----------------
       This document describes the procedure to install Windows 98 driver
       for ALL8832 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter.  User should read the
       procedures in section (3) before installation.


   (2) Location of Driver:
   -----------------------
                                \WIN95\DC21X4.SYS (NDIS4.0)


   (3) Installing Driver Procedure on Microsoft Windows 98 :
   ---------------------------------------------------------
       Windows 98 is the operating system with Plug & Play feature. It
       will auto-detect this adapter as DEC DC21143 adapter and allocate
       its default driver for it. But this adapter with auto sensing feature,
       and the default drivers within Windows 98 can also support it.
       But you can follow the following procedures to upgrade drivers,too.

       1. The drivers should be upgraded before the adapters be inserted into
          PCI slot. User can use upgrade.bat (in WIN98 directory of driver
          diskette) to do this job. User can run upgrade.bat in DOS, or
          in the DOS session of WIN98 by choosing:

              ÚÄÄÄÄÄ¿    ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿    ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿
              ³Start³ÄÄÄ>³Programs³ÄÄÄ>³MS-DOS Prompt³
              ÀÄÄÄÄÄÙ    ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ    ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ

          The third choice is the Run shortcut:

              ÚÄÄÄÄÄ¿    ÚÄÄÄ¿
              ³Start³ÄÄÄ>³Run³
              ÀÄÄÄÄÄÙ    ÀÄÄÄÙ

          When use the upgrade.bat, user should keyin the source drive
          and Window 98 directory as the parameters. Such as:

              a:\win98\upgrade a: c:\windows
                                              or
              a:\win98\upgrade a: c:\win98
                                              or
              a:\win98\upgrade a: c:\cwin98

       2. After the drivers upgraded successfully, power off the PC.

       3. Insert the adapter into the PCI slot of PC.

       4. After power on, the windows 98 will detect this new device as DEC's
          DECchip 21143 adapter then install the corresponding driver for it.
          When the Windows 98 detected the new drivers has been within, it
          will prompt user to keep the new driver or not. User should choose
          "Yes".

       5. Select the "Specify a location" and type the NETPCI.INF path
          (e.g c:\windows\inf) or a:\win95(The ALL8832 PCI Fast Ethernet
          Adapter diskette) ,then Windows 98 will find the "ALL8832 PCI
          Fast Ethernet Adapter" device.

       6. Click on "Next"

       7. User should type the DC21X4.SYS path (e.g. c:\windows\system)
          or a:\win95(The ALL8832 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter diskette).

       NOTE:  The upgrade.bat will copy the new driver to the correct
              subdirectory:
              (1). for NDIS 4 driver:  DC21X4.SYS
                   copy to Windows 98 SYSTEM subdirectory.
                   (e.g. c:\windows\system)
              (2). for NDIS 2 driver:  DC21X4.DOS
                   copy to Windows 98 directory.
                   (e.g. c:\windows)
              (3). for ODI driver:  DC21X4.COM
                   copy to Windows 98 directory.
                   (e.g. c:\windows)
              (4). for driver information file: NETPCI.INF
                   copy to Windows 98 INF subdirectory.
                   (e.g. c:\windows)

       8. Windows 98 will start copying the update driver files and
          specify the location of Windows 98 CD-ROM files.

       9. When installation completely, Windows 98 will prompt user to
          restart.After reboot, the new adapter will work fine.
