BEFORE YOU BEGIN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If your computer does NOT have a plug-and-play motherboard,
the following notes apply to you:
1. Before attempting to install the Ether16 LAN Card's network
software drivers, you MUST configure the card's internal
settings with the SETUP program included on Ether16 disk 1
under the UTILITY directory. Use the program to set the
card's interrupt (IRQ) and I/O settings. For directions
on using SETUP, see your Ether16 user guide. (Note that the
SETUP program is DOS-based -- you'll need to run it on a
DOS machine).
2. Most network software packages like Windows 95, Windows NT,
Novell NetWare, etc., include a "generic" network driver
that will work with a wide range of network cards. This
generic driver is called a "Novell NE2000" compatible driver,
and it is fully supported by the Ether16 card. If your
network software package asks you to choose the name of
the network card you're installing from a list of available
adapters, and you find "NE2000" or "Novell NE2000" listed,
you don't need to follow the directions below---simply choose
to install the NE2000 driver and the Ether16 Card will be
ready for use. THE ETHER16 IS ONLY NE2000 COMPATIBLE
WHEN THE CARD'S PLUG-AND-PLAY MODE IS TURNED OFF. If
your PC has a plug-and-play motherboard, and you wish to
use the generic NE2000 driver, you must run the Ether16
SETUP program and turn the card's plug-and-play mode off.
Setup
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Log into the network at the root in maintenance mode.
Insert Ether16 disk 2 into drive A and use the
doscp command to copy the SCOUNIX Driver from the
SCOUNIX directory to your system's UNIX directory.

# cd /
# doscp a:/scounix/setup setup
(or # doscp b:/scounix/setup setup)
# chmod +x /setup
