  Before You Begin
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  If your computer does NOT have a plug-and-play motherboard, 
  the following notes apply to you:

  1.  Before attempting to install the Ether16 LAN Card's network
      software drivers, you MUST configure the card's internal
      settings with the SETUP program included on Ether16 disk 1
      under the UTILITY directory.  Use the program to set the
      card's interrupt (IRQ) and I/O settings.  For directions
      on using SETUP, see your Ether16 user guide.
  
  2.  Most network software packages like Windows 95, Windows NT,
      Novell NetWare, etc., include a "generic" network driver
      that will work with a wide range of network cards.  This
      generic driver is called a "Novell NE2000" compatible driver,
      and it is fully supported by the Ether16 card.  If your 
      network software package asks you to choose the name of
      the network card you're installing from a list of available
      adapters, and you find "NE2000" or "Novell NE2000" listed,
      you don't need to follow the directions below---simply choose
      to install the NE2000 driver and the Ether16 Card will be
      ready for use.  THE ETHER16 IS ONLY NE2000 COMPATIBLE
      WHEN THE CARD'S PLUG-AND-PLAY MODE IS TURNED OFF.  If 
      your PC has a plug-and-play motherboard, and you wish to 
      use the generic NE2000 driver, you must run the Ether16 
      SETUP program and turn the card's plug-and-play mode off.
  


  Setup
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
   
     From the "Main" window, select Control Panel
    
     In the Control Panel, select Network Icon
    
     In the Network Setup, select Add Adapter

    Windows NT will display a list of all available drivers.

     Select "OTHERS" for third-party adapters not included in the list.

    The program prompts for the directory containing the Ethernet drivers.
    
     Insert the Ether16 disk 2 in Drive A, and then type the following

        A:\nt31

     Windows NT will attempt to locate the OEMSETUP.INF file in the 
      specified path. If it exists there, Windows NT will then copy 
      the appropriate drivers to the Windows NT system.

     The drivers are now properly installed. The installation procedure
      will then proceed to the next steps. Please refer to your Windows NT
      installation guide for information on these steps.

     Windows NT will pop up one window to ask the vlaues of some keywords.
      Such as "IO Port", "IRQ Number", and "NetworkAddress".

     If you want to change the default MAC Address, USE the "NetworkAddress"
      to specify the MAC Address. The NetworkAddress is a 12 digits string
      (ex. 001122334455)

     After the initial installation, the drivers will be permanently installed
      to the Windows NT system. Subsequent accesses to the network driver list
      will include these drivers as options.
