OS/2 Warp Connectivity to NetWare Servers for the 3C589D LAN PC Card

1.  Install the OS/2 Warp operating system on the PC.

2.  Download the latest version of the Novell NetWare Requester from Novell.

3.  Insert the EtherDisk v5.3 in the A: drive, change to the A:\NWCLIENT
    directory, and copy the driver 3C589.SYS to the root (A:\) of the 
    EtherDisk.  If this is not done the OS/2 ODI driver will not be copied
    to the hard drive during the ensuing installation procedures.

4.  Boot OS/2 Warp.

5.  Install the PCMCIA Card and Socket Services as follows.
        a.  From the desktop double-click on "OS/2 System".
        b.  Double-click on "System Setup".
        c.  Double-click on "Selective Install".
        d.  Click on the "PCMCIA Support" icon.
        e.  Highlight the model of laptop OS/2 Warp is currently being 
            installed on.
        f.  Click on OK.
        g.  Click on OK again to exit and save the System Configuration.

Note:  If the laptop is not listed under "Select PCMCIA system" then select
a similar model from the same manufacturer.  This selection is very 
important as it defines which PCMCIA Socket driver is installed in the 
CONFIG.SYS file.  If the wrong socket driver is installed, OS/2 Warp will
fail to communicate properly to PCMCIA adapters.  Call the laptop
manufacturer for the proper choice should problems be encountered after the 
completion of this install.

6.  Insert the "WSOS2_1" NetWare Requester diskette in the A: drive.

7.  Go to the Drives icon and double-click on "Drive A".
