<========================================================>
This release of the Seven of Diamonds and the Four of Diamonds Trumpcards
OS/2 drivers will allow use of the ethernet function with or without PCMCIA
support installed.
When using OS/2 PCMCIA support, the system can be configured to allow
booting the computer without the network card inserted, inserting the
Trumpcard later will allow the network functions to be accessed. The
Trumpcard can be hot-swapped while the system is running.

==========================================================================
1. Driver Package Files
This driver package consists of the following files:
OSITECH.SYS Required when using OS/2 PCMCIA support.
OTCETH.OS2 NDIS 2.01 network driver.
OTCETH.SYS ODI network driver
OTCETH.NIF Network Information File for the above NDIS driver.
PROTOCOL.INI NDIS protocol.ini stub
README.TXT This file.
Please note:
Before installing the Ositech Four of Diamonds or the Ositech Seven
of Diamonds, you should create a directory on the hard drive where all the
Ositech files will be placed and then copy all the files from this package
to that directory.
At the OS/2 Command Prompt type
MD TRUMPCRD
CD TRUMPCRD
COPY A:\*.* C:\TRUMPCRD
==========================================================================
2. Installing the NDIS Driver Under Warp 4 Connect
The NDIS 2.01 driver can be installed when initially installing Warp
Connect or when running MPTS by selecting other adapters and entering the
diskette drive containing the Trumpcard release. If PCMCIA support is
installed, you may receive an error on bootup. This should be eliminated
after the installation of OSITECH.SYS. This driver needs to be placed in the
CONFIG.SYS file as follows:
When OS/2 PCMCIA support is installed, it will add the following to
the CONFIG.SYS:
BASEDEV=PCMCIA.SYS ; OS/2 Card services driver
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VPCMCIA.SYS ; OS/2 Virtual Card Services
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\COM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCOM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\AUTODRV2.SYS C:\OS2\AUTODRV2.INI ; Generic Modem Enabler
BASEDEV=IBM2NEC1.SYS /S0=2 ; OS/2 socket Services driver
The following line needs to be added to the CONFIG.SYS file to allow the
Trumpcard to function correctly:
DEVICE=C:\TRUMPCRD\OSITECH.SYS ; Ositech Card services interface
This line should be placed immediately following the line which loads
the AUTODRV2.SYS device. Thus the CONFIG.SYS would have the following:
BASEDEV=PCMCIA.SYS ; OS/2 Card services driver
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VPCMCIA.SYS ; OS/2 Virtual Card Services
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\COM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCOM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\AUTODRV2.SYS C:\OS2\AUTODRV2.INI ; Generic Modem Enabler
DEVICE=C:\TRUMPCRD\OSITECH.SYS ; Ositech Card services interface
BASEDEV=IBM2NEC1.SYS /S0=2 ; OS/2 socket Services driver
In addition, for this to work properly, the network address must be
specified in the PROTOCOL.INI. MPTS configuration can be used to accomplish
this or the PROTOCOL.INI can be directly edited. This is required because
the network driver cannot read the address from the Trumpcard when loading as
it is not present. This is currently supported only on the NDIS driver or
NDIS driver/ODI shim configuration.
==========================================================================
3. Installing the ODI Driver Under Warp 4 Connect
In order to install the ODI driver under OS/2 Warp 4, you must manually
edit the CONFIG.SYS and add the following line into the CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=C:\TRUMPCRD\OTCETH.SYS
This line is to be placed immediately after the DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\LSL.SYS
line, as follows:
REM --- Netware Requester Statements Begin ---
SET NWLANGUAE=ENGLISH
DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\LSL.SYS
DEVICE=C:\TRUMPCRD\OTCETH.SYS
This file should also be copied over into the TRUMPCRD directory off of
the diskette in order to successfully load the ODI driver under OS/2 Warp 4.
On the root directory of the hard drive is a file called NET.CFG. This
file can be configured by the OS/2 editor and the parameters set are those
that are used by the Ositech ODI driver. User must edit this file to the
settings that are known to be free under their operating system. Here is a
sample NET.CFG :
Link Driver OTCETH
FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
INT 10
PORT 340
MEM D000
MEDIA AUTO
NETWARE REQUESTER
DIRECTORY SERVICES OFF
