Description:

  1. W940ND.SYS is a NDIS 3.x driver for Windows 95, NT 4.0, Windows 98 and
     NT 5.0 Platforms.

     If there is only one 940 card, the driver will automatically get IOBASE
     and IRQ from PCI Configuration Space.

     If there is more than oen 940 card, user can indicate a specified 940 card
     by inputing IDs.

     If user does not input an ID to select a specified 940 card, this driver
     will automatically select a free 940 card to load.

  2. W940ND.INF is a Network Setup Information File for Windows 95 Platforms.

  3. In Win95 OSR2 environment (version 4.00.950.B), the vendor ID and
     the device ID in PCI configuration space of the 940 card need to be
     the same as the W940ND.INF file described.
     for example :
     below line in W940ND.INF
        %w89c940.DeviceDesc%=w89c940.ndi, PCI\VEN_1050&DEV_0940
