 Introduction
 ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
    There is a format change for this driver disk. All README's have been
    reformatted, an added easy setup program called Install, and added
    consistency on all documentation provided.

    Because D-Link is a global corporation, we make products and drivers
    for many different markets.  An example of the wide engineering
    development are the series of cards and a single set of drivers.

    During 1997, D-Link will change all driver disks to uncompressed
    format and you can get latest releases of drivers from D-Link's Web
    site (http://www.dlink.com). We hope our new readmes and installations
    will minimize the users effort to make our products work. Should there
    be further recommendations please contact the support manager at the
    local D-Link Office listed bellow.

    Install is provided to assist ease of setup for users.
    Install will configure drivers, install the appropriate
    network drivers for popular network operating systems, and run
    diagnostics on DFE-500TX adapter.

    To run Install, simply run INSTALL.EXE program in the root
    of the driver disk.  (ie. A:\INSTALL<Enter>)

    If the network operating system you are using is not covered by the
    installation program, refer to the individual documentation provided
    for each driver directory.
