           A) Remove DECchip 21x40 driver supported by Win95
           B) Install NDIS 3.1 driver to Windows 95
           C) Configuration NDIS 3.1 driver to Windows 95



A) Remove DECchip 21x40 driver supported by Win95

   The 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet Adapters are based on the DEC chip DC21x40.
   Thus the 21x40 driver supported by Win95 will work for these adapters.
   However, if you want to run the 32-bit PCI Series (Fast) Ethernet driver, you should
   remove the adapter object and driver from the Win95 system before installing it.
   Then follow steps B & C to complete driver installation and configuration
   for the adapter.

    Remove adapter object & driver for DECchip 21x40 **
    ---------------------------------------------------
    1. Click the "My Computer" icon.
    2. Click the "Control Panel" icon in My Computer window.
    3. Double-click the "System" icon in the Control Panel window.
    4. Select the "Network adapter" icon in System window.
    5. Click the "PCI Fast Ethernet DECchip 21x40 Based Adapter"
       icon in System window.
    6. Click <Remove> button and press <OK>.
    7. Close the dialog box.
    8. Click the "No" button, when Windows 95 requests if you want
       to restart PC.


B) Install NDIS 3.1 driver into Windows 95
----------------------------------------------
The ETHPCI.SYS driver is contained in the \WIN95 directory

    NDIS Driver Installation in Windows 95
    --------------------------------------

    1. In the "Network" dialogue box, click "Add" button.
    2. In the "Select Network Component Type" dialogue box,
       select "Adapter" item, then click "Add" button.
    3. In the "Select Network adapters" dialogue box, click
       "Have Disk..." button.
    4. Insert the Driver Diskette in your floppy drive.
    5. In the "Install From Disk" dialogue box, type "A:\",
       or "B:\" where A: or B: is the diskette drive volumn.
       Then, click "OK" button.
    6. Select "32-bit 10/100M(-NWAY) PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter" item, then
       click "OK" button. Windiws 95 starts to copy the adapter's
       driver information to your hard disk.
    7. In the "Network" dialogue box, click "OK" button.
    8. Windows 95 starts to copy network upper layer protocols
       from Windows 95 CD-ROM. Please provide the CD-ROM's
       directory to complete the protocol installations.
    9. Select "Yes" to restart Windows 95 to have network functions.


C) Configure the NDIS 3.1 driver in Windows 95
----------------------------------------------

    1. Click the "My Computer" icon.
    2. Click the "Control Panel" icon in My Computer window.
    3. Double-click the "Network" icon in the Control Panel window.
    4. Select "Adapter" item from Network Component Type dialog box,
       and click the "Properties..." button.
    5. Then click "Advanced" button in the dialog box.
    6. Set the following properties:

       <1>. Burst Length :   1  Dword          Default is 16 Dwords.
                             2  Dwords         (1 Dword = 4 bytes)
                             4  Dwords
                             8  Dwords
                             16 Dwords
                             32 Dwords

       <2>. Connection Type (32-bit driver): <NDIS3 driver>
             for 10/100M adapter:
                             AutoSense (Default)
                             100BASE-TX
                             100BASE-TX/Full-duplex
                             10BASE-T
                             10BASE-T/Full-duplex
                             BNC (10BASE2) --> only for 10/100M adapter

       <3>. Connection Type (16-bit driver): <NDIS2 driver>
            (This argument will be put in MAC driver section in PROTOCOL.INI)
                             Auto Detection (Default)

       <5>. Map Registers: 4, 8 (Default value is 8.)
            This parameter depends on the machine.
            For x86, the value should be 8.

       Also, the following three parameters can be used for 32-bit PCI
       Series (Fast) Ethernet adapter.

       <6>. Store And Forward : Enabled --> Enable early transmit,
                                Disabled--> Disable early transmit,(default)
