For TokenCard Elite Master32 LAN Adapters
RELEASE INFORMATION
This software is licensed by SMC for use by its customers only.
Copyright (c) 1994 Standard Microsystems Corporation.
All rights reserved.
Version 1.01 21 May 1994
This driver conforms to the 3COM/Microsoft LAN Manager Network
Driver Interface Specification, version 2.0.1, 8 October 1990.
VERSION HISTORY

Fixed Cable disconnect problems.
-- Version 1.00 --
Initial release.
PROTOCOL.INI PARAMETERS
Several parameters are typically specified in the SMC8332 section of
the PROTOCOL.INI file. The only parameter that must be specified
is the 'DriverName'. All others have default values supplied by the
driver and can be omitted from the PROTOCOL.INI file if the
installed adapter matches the default configuration.
Your SMC TokenCard Elite Master32 LAN adapter ignores the values of
IRQ, I/O Base Address, and RAM Address and instead uses the values in
the POS registers, which are set up when the adapter is installed.
Below is a list of parameters and their definitions commonly found
in the PROTOCOL.INI file. Both default values and possible value
ranges are provided for each parameter.
SlotNumber Specifies the number of the slot containing the
adapter card in an EISA computer. This parameter is
a decimal number in the range of 1 - 10 and is
required for all EISA adapters.
NetAddress Overrides the factory set network address of the
network adapter. The value of this parameter is a
hexadecimal string of 12 digits between double
quotation marks. The address must be unique among
all network addresses on the network.
