940-OD.COM Ver 2.30 Winbond Electronics Corporation 02/14/96 Description: 1. 940-OD.COM is a new ODI workstation driver. It is for the DOS environment only and therefore defaults to the 802.2 frame type. 2. If there is only one 940 card, the driver will automatically get IOBASE and IRQ from PCI Configuration Space. 3. If there is more than 940 card, user must indicate a specified IOBASE in NET.CFG file. 4. If you want to login to Netware server, you need five files: LSL.COM 940-OD.COM IPXODI.COM VLM.EXE NET.CFG Installation: 1. The running sequence is: LSL.COM 940-OD.COM --> Winbond's DOS ODI driver IPXODI VLM or NETX 2. Modify the NET.CFG file to set (a) 'Ethernet Frame' type if you'd like, the valid NET.CFG file is below: Link driver 940-od frame ethernet_802.2 frame ethernet_802.3 frame ethernet_ii frame ethernet_snap (b) 'IOBASE' if there are more than one 940 cards, the valid NET.CFG is below: Link driver 940-od port d000 For more information on NET.CFG parameters, see "NetWare Workstation for DOS" or "ODI for DOS User's Guide". Use: Available command line options: 940-OD -Installs the LAN driver 940-OD S -Shows resident LAN drivers in memory 940-OD U -Unloads resident LAN driver from memory 940-OD E -Enables early interrupt function 940-OD ? -Displays this help screen Trouble Shooting: 1. Message: 'No Winbond 940 IO card existed.' Solution: Make sure that your W89C940 PCI card is plugged into the system. 2. Message: 'There are multiple Winbond 940 cards. Use NET.CFG to specify I/O port.' Solution: Because there is more than one 940 card in your system, you must use the I/O port to select a W89C940 card. This is done by adding the following statements to the NET.CFG file: Link Driver 940-OD port d000 ---> selected W89C940 card 3. Message: 'A File Server could not be found.' Solution: Make sure a. your W89C940 PCI card is connected to the cable, b. the Novell OS is active in this network, c. the frame type between client(your system) and server(Novell OS) is the same.
