STANDARD MICROSYSTEMS CORP
OS/2 REQUESTER DRIVER FOR
"PLUS" FAMILY LAN ADAPTER BOARDS
INSTALLING OS/2 REQUESTER
-------------------------
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
1) 80286, 80386, or 80486-Based System
2) 2.5 MB System RAM
3) 10 MB Hard Disk
4) OS/2 Installation Package (Version 1.10 or later)
5) NetWare for OS/2 (Version 1.1 or later)
a) OS/2 Requester Software
b) OS/2 Public Software
6) Driver Software for OS/2
a) smc8000.sys
b) net.cfg
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
1) Install OS/2 using the instructions provided with
the OS/2 package.
2) Install NetWare using the instructions provided with
the NetWare package.
3) Copy 'SMC8000.SYS' to either the root directory or to a
subdirectory off the root, such as C:\DRIVER or C:\NETWARE.
4) Copy NET.CFG to the directory where 'SMC8000.SYS' is loaded.
If one does exist, follow these instructions:
a) Copy the new NET.CFG to the root directory making sure
to give the new NET.CFG a different name from the existing
NET.CFG. For example:
copy a:\net.cfg c:\netware\newnet.cfg
b) Append the new configuration file to the end of the
existing NET.CFG file. For example:
append c:\net.cfg;c:\newnet.cfg
This file is used to configure the entire operating system,
not just the driver.
5) Modify CONFIG.SYS
Note: The following instructions are also provided
in the documentation files included in the
NetWare installation diskette.
a) After installing the NetWare package, the files
CONFIG.PST and AUTOEXEC.PST (for version 1.2 only)
will appear in the root directory. These files must be
appended to the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files
respectively. For example:
append c:\config.sys c:\config.pst
append c:\autoexec.bat c:\autoexec.pst
b) Use your text editor to insert 'C:\NETWARE' as the first
directory path in your LIBPATH statement.
c) Use your text editor to insert 'C:\NETWARE' as the last
directory path in your DPATH statement.
d) Add the statement which loads the LAN interface
board driver just before the IPX.SYS statement. For
example:
device=C:\smc8000.sys
or
device=C:\DRIVER\smc8000.sys
or
device=C:\NETWARE\smc8000.sys
depending on whether SMC8000.SYS is loaded from the
root, the \DRIVER, or the \NETWARE directory.
USING NET.CFG
1) There is no need to use the NET.CFG file if the
EtherCard PLUS adapter is an AT adapter
configured with the default settings:
Base I/O Address: 280
Interrupt IRQ: 3
RAM Base Address: D000
2) If the adapter being used is software configurable
then only the Base I/O Address (if it is not 280)
must be specified.
3) To change the Base I/O Address, locate the line in
NET.CFG which reads
Port #1 280 20
and change '280' to the appropriate Base I/O Address.
3) To change the Interrupt IRQ, locate the line in
NET.CFG which reads
Int #1 3
and change '3' to the appropriate Interrupt IRQ.
4) To change the RAM Base Address, locate the line in
NET.CFG which reads
Mem #1 000D0000 2000/10
and change '000D0000' to the appropriate RAM Base
Address.
For example,
Mem #1 000C8000 2000/10
causes the driver to use C8000 as the RAM Base Address.
5) When using a Micro Channel machine, the PS/2 Slot
entry in the NET.CFG file must be specified. Locate
the line which reads
PS/2 Slot ?
and change the '?' to the slot number desired.
Note: The ';' in the first column of the NET.CFG file
denotes an ignored line. Delete this symbol
from all used lines and insert it into all unused
lines, or delete unused lines altogether.
