This article describes how to add to the LAN Manager MS-DOS setup diskettes the MACWD.DOS NIC driver for the Western Digital W8003E card, which shipped with LAN Manager 2.1 but NOT with version 2.2.

MORE INFORMATION

To manually add the LM2.1 driver:

  1. Copy the file MACWD.NIF (from the LM2.1 subdirectory) to the C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\NIF subdirectory.
  2. Create a C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\MACWD subdirectory and copy the files MACWD.DOS and PROTOCOL.INI (from the corresponding LM2.1 subdirectory) into it.
To add the driver to the setup diskettes for future installations:

  1. Make these changes to the SETUP.INF file on the DOS Setup diskette:

    1. In the [copyfiles] section, copy the MACEVX line and modify to read: 
            1:DRIVERS\NIF\MACWD.NIF,"DRIVERS\NIF\MACWD.NIF",8,3
    2. Copy the [MACEVX] section and modify it to read: 
            [MACWD]
      2:DRIVERS\ETHERNET\MACWD\MACWD.DOS,"DRIVERS\ETHERNET\MACWD
      MACWD.DOS",8,3

      2:DRIVERS\ETHERNET\MACWD\PROTOCOL.INI,"DRIVERS\ETHERNET
      MACWD\PROTOCOL.INI",8,3
  2. Copy MACWD.NIF to the DOS Drivers 1 diskette under the \DRIVERS\NIF subdirectory.
  3. On the DOS Drivers 2 diskette, create a \DRIVERS\ETHERNET\MACWD subdirectory. Copy MACWD.DOS and PROTOCOL.INI into it.
