  26. |                                                                               
  27. |   NOTE:This Information APAR does not replace any document                    
  28. |        of 3COM (The vendor and author of the Driver and NIF                   
  29. |        file) but offers installation assistance with ES 1.0                   
  30. |        and Communications Manager/2.                                          
  31. |                                                                               
  32. |   A. The 3COM Option disk, shipped with the adapter, has DOS                  
  33. |      and OS2 drivers.  These drivers are NOT interchangeable.                 
  34. |      We will discuss the OS2 driver that is used by                           
  35. |      COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER.  The OS2 Driver (ELNK3.OS2)                      
  36. |      is located in the  NDIS OS directory on the Option Disk.                 
  37. |                                                                               
  38. |   B. IBM LAN Adapter and Protocol Support (LAPS) will install                 
  39. |      the NDIS driver and .NIF if the .NIF is in the format                    
  40. |      recognized by LAPS.  The OS2 .NIF file on the Option                     
  41. |      disk is NOT in this format although it is an NDIS file.                  
  42. |      3COM considers LAPS to be an auto-install program and                    
  43. |      has written another .NIF in this format.  This .NIF is                   
  44. |      available on 3COM's BBS, 1-800-764-7130.  Download                       
  45. |      IBMNIF.EXE which is a self extracting file.  Look in                     
  46. |      the "LATEST" directory for LS509OS2.NIF. (LS507OS2.NIF                   
  47. |      can also be found here)                                                  
  48. |                                                                               
  49. |3. 07/07/93  INSTALLING OVERVIEW                                               
  50. |                                                                               
  51. |   A. The .NIF file that is in  LAPS's format and the OS2                      
  52. |      Driver must be placed in the same directory.                             
  53. |                                                                               
  54. |   B. Execute LAPS (ES1 uses Communication Manager/ Advanced/                  
  55. |      Configuration/ LAN Adapter and Protocol Support                          
  56. |      (OPTION #6); for Communications Manager/2, issue                         
  57. |      LAPS on an OS/2 command line). Select "Copy additional                   
  58. |      network adapter drivers" option on the Option Menu.                      
  59. |      Let LAPS copy the driver to the correct directory.                       
  60. |                                                                               
  61. |   C. Select "Configure Workstation" at the successful                         
  62. |      completion of the copy.  The Etherlink3 should now be                    
  63. |      displayed in "Network Adapters" window and can be                        
  64. |      install.  The necessary protocols should be selected.

  66. |4. 06/29/93 NOTES:                                                             
  67. |                                                                               
  68. |   A. ODINSUPP (Novell NetWare driver interface) is NOT NDIS.                  
  69. |                                                                               
  70. |   B. The DEVICE=d: IBMCOM MACS ELNK3.OS2 statement may need                   
  71. |      to be added to CONFIG.SYS.
