      CONFIG.SYS (for OS/2 will contain):

         DEVICE=C:\path\PROTMAN.OS2 /I:C:\path
         DEVICE=C:\path\EPRO.OS2


      PROTOCOL.INI (contains):

   General Notes
   -------------

      1. If you have a Plug and Play BIOS and are running OS/2*, Windows NT*,
         or a NetWare* server, make sure you DISABLE Plug and Play
         on your adapter using SoftSet2 (Advanced Options menu). These 
         environments don't support Plug and Play. If Plug and Play is enabled
         in these environments, the NOS may not be able to find your adapter. 

      2. Many different network operating systems use a standard 2.0.1 
         version NDIS driver to talk to the network adapter. The 
         EtherExpress PRO adapter's NDIS driver conforms to 
         Microsoft's 2.0.1 NDIS specification.

         The EtherExpress PRO/10 disk contains the files you need to install 
         and use the adapter card with a variety of NDIS based operating
         systems. See details below to find out which subdirectory has
         the files you require.
  
         File          Purpose
         -----------   ---------------------------------------------------
         EPRO.DOS      NDIS driver for DOS workstations.
 
         EPRO.OS2      NDIS driver for servers & OS/2 workstations.
  
         EPRODOS.NIF   This is the standard DOS NIF file that is used with 
                       Microsoft LAN Manager installations. Other Network 
                       Operating systems may use this file during their 
                       installation. If so, specify the \NDIS directory
                       when installing the driver.

         EPROOS2.NIF   This is the standard OS/2 NIF file that is used with 
                       Microsoft LAN Manager installations. Other Network 
                       Operating systems may use this file during their 
                       installation. If so, specify the \NDIS directory
                       when installing the driver.
                                                   
         EPROEDOS.NIF  This file is an extended NIF file that is referenced 
                       by IBM LAN Support Program. Specify the \DOS 
                       directory when installing so that the installation 
                       procedure will find the correct NIF file.
         
         EPROEOS2.NIF  This file is an extended NIF file that is referenced 
                       by IBM LAN Support Program. Specify the \IBM0S2 
                       directory when installing so that the installation 
                       procedure will find the correct NIF file.
                                                                       
         PROTOCOL.INI  Fragment of the general PROTOCOL.INI file. This 
                       fragment contains information specific to the
                       EtherExpress PRO adapter. You'll need to add this 
                       fragment to the general PROTOCOL.INI file.


   Hints and Tips
   --------------
      1. Intel's FaxBack service is often updated with configuration 
         examples of certain NDIS based network operating systems. Call 
         FaxBack and order the catalog listing for EtherExpress Adapter 
         documents. If the configuration example is not listed, please 
         consult with your Network Services Supplier, or the vendor of that 
         particular operating system.
  
      2. Parameters for the PROTOCOL.INI file:

         DRIVERNAME: This is the one required parameter. See example at 
         top of this document for syntax.

         IOADDRESS:  This is the base I/O address for the adapter. If 
         you are using multiple boards in one machine, make sure you specify 
         the correct IOADDRESS for each board.  

         INTERRUPT: This is the system interrupt that the adapter uses. If 
         a value is specified and it is different from what the card is 
         currently set to, this parameter will OVERRIDE whatever is in the 
         EEPROM.
