             SMC8022T  EZ PCMCIA 10Base-T Adapter
             SMC8022BT EZ PCMCIA Combo Adapter
       NDIS Driver for DEC PATHWORKS Installation
      ===========================================

The driver smc8022.DOS contained in directory \NDIS\DOS is used with
SMC EZ Ethernet PCMCIA adapters in the DEC Pathworks environment.

This driver conforms to the Network Driver Interface Specification
(NDIS) 2.0 defined by Microsoft/3Com.



1. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:

  a. Insert the DEC PATHWORKS Client Setup diskette #1 in the
     diskette drive (A: or B:).

  b. Type Netsetup at the A: or B: prompt.

  c. Unless you have an LK250 keyboard, select "NO".

  d. Select the DECNET transport option and press <Enter>.

  e. Insert the DNET TRNSPRT diskette #1 in the diskette drive (A: or B:).

  f. Specify the target drive letter (C: or D:).

  g. At the prompt "Are you creating an initial workstation diskette?",
     select "NO".

  h. Type in the node name and address (i.e. node number).

  i. Type in the server node name and address (i.e. node number).

  j. Select "Ethernet" when prompted "Select the network adapter type:".

  k. Select "(Other NDIS)" when prompted "Select the network adapter:".

  l. Enter the full DRIVE:\PATH\FILENAME for NDIS driver:

     A:\NDIS\DOS\SMC8022.DOS or B:\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\SMC8022\SMC8022.DOS

     Located in the SMC driver program diskette.

  m. Enter the DRIVE:\PATH for the protocol.ini file:

       A:\or B:\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\SMC8022\

  n. If they are all accurate, select "WRITE KEY DISK" to start installation.
     When prompted to copy files SMC8022.DOS and protocol.ini, insert
     the SMC driver program diskette in the source drive
     (A: or B: dependent on path specified in step l. and m.)

  o. Follow the prompts until installation completes.

  p. At the Configuration screen, press F10 to exit to C:\.

  q. Using a text editor to edit protocol.ini in the DECNET sub-directory.
     Remove the semicolon (;) from the statement "NI_IRQ = 5"
     under [DATALINK], then check if the IRQ value in
     the new [SMC8022.DOS] IRQ statement (maybe omitted) matches the NI_IRQ
     value in the [DATALINK] statement and Adapter IRQ value configured.
