 Introduction
 
        This installation assumes that the PCMCIA drivers are working properly.
        Please consult INST_DOS.TXT for help with PCMCIA Drivers.
        Getting Started will describe the installation instructions.

 Requirements
 
        A PCMCIA compatible Laptop
        A PCMCIA chipset that is PCIC compatible (Intel, Cirrus, Vadem, and
         VLSI) or Databook compatible.
        3COM 3+ Share Network Operating System
        A DE-650CT (our single media cards are not supported, 650T and 650C)
        A knowledge of basic DOS commands and editing text files

 Minimum Skill Level
 
        A knowledge of basic DOS commands
        A knowledge of editing text files
        A knowledge of DOS basic file structure (CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT)
        A knowledge of the network driver configuration being used
        Please see Support Options if you are not comfortable will this
         skill level

 Compatibility List
 
        DE-650CT only (will not run with DE-650T or DE-650C)
        Removal of any present PCMCIA drivers
        For a laptop compatibility list please consult your local
         D-Link Branch Office

 Getting Started
 
        Follow the installation procedure for the 3Com EtherLink board.

        Copy the ETH.SYS file from the source directory of the driver disk
                into the boot disk. This program will replace the program of the
                same filename when the installation procedure in the first step
                is performed.

        Ensure that the CONFIG.SYS file in the boot disk or diskette
                contains the following two lines, in the given order:

        DEVICE = DE65SPD.SYS <-d> <-w> <packet_int_no>
        DEVICE = ETH.SYS

                <packet_int_no> is the software interrupt vector number used by
                                the packet driver program.  This can be from 96
                                to 128.
                /d              Delay Initial - The driver program will not
                                initialize the network interface card until the
                                packet driver program is accessed by its upper
                                layer program.

                /w              The -w parameter is for use only in the Windows
                                environment.

                See INST_DOS.TXT for addition parameters

        You may now reboot and to start 3COM workstation.
