             Winbond W89C840 Boot ROM Program (ver 3.10)



(A) How to use OEM.EXE ?

    1. OEM.EXE and RBOOT.ROM should be put in the same directory.

    2. OEM.EXE is executed.(no parameters is necessary)
       --> the program will ask user to input vendor ID and device ID.

    3. The steps that is mentioned above is followed, vendor ID and device ID
       in the program will be modified.


(B) After vendor ID and device ID are modified, RBOOT.ROM should
    be burned into a PROM. This RBOOT.ROM size is 16K. If user uses
    64K PROM, you should duplicate the same 3 copies RBOOT.ROM file
    and combine these files.(i.e.: 16k * 4 contents will be burned
    into a PROM.)
    <method> :
        copy RBOOT.ROM /b + RBOOT.ROM /b + RBOOT.ROM /b + RBOOT.ROM /b  CCC
    (note : CCC file size will be 64K)


(C) Vendor ID and device ID of EEPROM in the LAN card should be the same
    as vendor ID and device ID in the program.


(D) How to install the Novell RPL Server

    1. You must create a remote boot diskette. The files on this boot diskette,
       for example, are the following:
          COMMAND  COM
          IO       SYS   attrib -s -h io.sys
          MSDOS    SYS   attrib -s -h msdos.sys
          LSL      COM
          840-OD   COM
          IPXODI   COM
          NETX     EXE
          AUTOEXEC BAT
          CONFIG   SYS

       The AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains these lines :

          PATH H:\LOGIN;
          SET COMSPEC=H:\LOGIN\COMMAND.COM
             DOSKEY
             LSL
             840-OD
             IPXODI
             NETX

       The CONFIG.SYS file  contains these lines :

             DEVICE=A:\HIMEM.SYS
             STACKS=9,256
             DOS=HIGH,UMB
             FILES=30
             BUFFERS=30
             LASTDRIVE=G
             FCBS=16,8


    2. Boot a workstation with at least one floppy disk drive, and log in to
       the server as SUPERVISOR.

    3. Change directory to SYS:SYSTEM

    4. With the DOS boot diskette in driver A: execute the DOSGEN utility. This
       creates a DOS boot image file named NET$DOS.SYS.

    5. Copy NET$DOS.SYS to the SYS:LOGIN directory.

    6. Copy RBOOT.RPL, ETHER.RPL to the SYS:LOGIN directory.

    7. Copy RPL.NLM, 840-OD.LAN, ETHERTSM.NLM, MSM31X.NLM
       to the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

       Note:1. It depends on file server's version.

             In the RPL developer's kit,

             for Netware 3.11,  use .\RPL\NLM\311\RPL.NLM;

             for Netware 3.12/4.x  use .\RPL\NLM\40\RPL.NLM;

       Note:2. Ethertsm.nlm and Msm31x.nlm must be a new version, or
              can be found from our software kit \ODI4.X\SERVER\INSTALL

    8. Edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file in the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

       For example: (IF W89C840 CARD IS USED ON SERVER)

            file server name WINBOND
            ipx internal net 831123

            load 840-OD name=W840_1 frame=ETHERNET_802.2
            load 840-OD name=W840_2 frame=ETHERNET_II
            load 840-OD name=W840_3 frame=ETHERNET_802.3
            load 840-OD name=W840_4 frame=ETHERNET_Snap

            bind ipx to W840_1 net=21
            bind ipx to W840_2 net=22
            bind ipx to W840_3 net=23
            bind ipx to W840_4 net=24

            ; ---------- for RPL file server -----------------
            load rpl
            bind rpl to W840_1
            ; ---------- for RPL file server -----------------

            mount all

            Set immediate purge of deleted files=on
            load monitor

    9. Shutdown the file server, and reboot it.

   10. Configure the W89C840 to "Boot ROM Enable".

   11. Reboot the workstation, remember to run CMOS setup. Let FLOPPY
       drive (A, B) setting to be "Not installed".

   12. Now, when the file server is running, the workstation equipped with Boot
       ROM on the W89C840 card will be attached to the file server without any
       floppy.

(E) RPL Installation in  Microsoft NT Server 4.0

    1. Copy NDIS2 driver to
       C:\WINNT\RPL\BBLOCK\NDIS directory

    2. Use NE2000 directory as a template.
       Copy all the files from C:\WINNT\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\NE2000 directory
       to a new directory called C:\WINNT\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\WINBOND

    3. Go to MSDOS prompt, run RPLCMD.EXE to add
         a) boot
         b) config
         c) vendor

    4. Go to Windows [Remoteboot Manager] to add [New Profiles] and [New
       Workstation] or [Convert Adapter]. ( If Remote Boot Station have
       startup.)
