Driver changes:
Changes since V2.5a:
o All drivers updated for potential hang of receive process during
receive overflow for DE500-AA (this did not effect DE500-XA).
The revisions of drivers on this kit are MINIMUM acceptable for
DE500-AA. Older revisions are acceptable for DE500-XA only.
o Windows for Workgroups setup file (oemsetup.inf) modified to add
support for DE425 and 21142-based on-board controllers for NDIS3.
This setup file supports only DE500 for NDIS2 and 16-bit ODI
drivers. For NDIS3 (enhanced mode), this setup file supports
DE425, DE434, DE435, DE450, DE500, and 21142-based on-board
controllers.
o NetWare Server driver updated to support Client 32 and Green River
Release (NetWare 4.11).
o EZWORKS updated.
o MSLANMAN.OS2 subdirectory eliminated (NDIS2 OS/2 driver located
at ndis2\os2\de500.os2).
Changes since V2.4:
o EZWORKS added Win95 installation capability for NDIS3, NDIS2, and
16-bit ODI client drivers.
o Native DLL for PATHWORKS added.
o SCO MDI driver added.
o Win95 driver added, along with Win95 setup file (de500.inf).
o Windows NT drivers changed significantly. The V2.4 kit used
DC21X4 drivers, which supported the DE425, DE434/435, DE450, and
DE500. The V2.5a kit uses DE500 drivers, which support only the
DE500. The Windows NT setup file (oemsetnt) was changed to
reflect this. The new DE500 drivers are optimized for the DE500
hardware.
Changes with previous versions:
o NetWare DOS ODI Client Driver
- This driver conforms to v4.0 of the Novell ODI
Specification:
16-Bit DOS Client HSMs dated August 1, 1994
(P/N: 107-000054-001)
- You may load the DOS driver in upper memory to free up
conventional memory in a system.
- A change in the DOS ODI specification requires that a
current version of LSL.COM be used with the NetWare DOS
ODI Client Driver. Use version 2.11 or later of LSL.COM
o NetWare 3/4 ODI Server Driver
- This driver conforms to v3.2 of the Novell Open Data-Link
Interface (ODI) specification.
o NDIS 2.01 DOS Driver
- You may load the DOS driver in upper memory to free up
conventional memory in a system.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
This ECO kit contains PC based files in a self-extracting format.
Follow the steps below for using these files:
1. Copy 50KIT260.EXE onto your PC.
2. Expand 50KIT260.EXE to a blank diskette (as shown) or an empty
directory.
C:\TMP>50KIT260 -d A:\
This will expand the file into its individual components with
directory structure intact and place them on the diskette in
drive A:\.
*NOTE*
Some Driver Installations require the use of Setup Files and
look for this information on a diskette. For this reason we
suggest expanding the ZIP file to a diskette. This diskette
would replace the driver diskette shipped with the EtherWORKS
adapter.
3. See README.TXT in the root directory for kit installation
information for your platform.
