Introduction
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Thank you for purchasing the D-Link DE-650CT PCMCIA Ethernet card.
This diskette has network driver support for the DE-650CT PCMCIA
Ethernet card. There is a format change for this driver disk. All
README's have been reformatted, any easy setup program called
AUTOinstall, and consistency on all documentation provided.
Because D-Link is a global corporation, we make products and drivers
for many different markets. An example of the wide engineering
development are the NEC98xx drivers. These are not for NEC computers
that are commonly sold in the North America (ie. VERSA). In Japan
one of the most popular PC is a non-DOS compatible called the NEC
9800 series of laptops. Unless the Laptop is specifically marked with
NEC9800 or compatible, only select the "IBM PC or compatible" item.
During 1996, D-Link will change all driver disks to ARJ compression
for better driver management and provisions for even more drivers
to the disk. We hope our new readmes and installation will minimize
the users effort to make our products work. Should you have further
recommendations please contact the support manager at the local
D-Link Office listed bellow.

AUTOinstall is provided to assist ease of setup for users.
AUTOinstall will configure PCMCIA drivers, install the appropriate
network drivers for popular network operating systems, and run
diagnostics on the DE-650CT.
Before running AUTOinstall, please make a backup copy of your diver
diskette. Then simply run INSTALL.EXE program in the root of the driver
disk(ie. A:\INSTALL<Enter>). Installation will copy selected driver to
the destination directory.
If the network operating system you are using is not covered by the
installation program, refer to the individual documentation provided
for each driver directory.
Driver Directory Structure
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
The network drivers on this disk is organized in the following
structure. Each directory contains a README.TXT file which
provides you with detailed installation instructions for drivers
in that directory:
These new drivers will support the complete DE-650CT PCMCIA
Ethernet adapter series. All drivers will automatically detect
the hardware information including I/O base address and IRQ.
The network media connector type will also be automatically
detected during driver initialization.
