   Field Test Windows NT driver(s) FT1.4 (Intel(I386) and Alpha processors)
   =========================================================================

Note: If this driver was contained in a ZIPfile it should be noted that
      problems may occur if the file was unZIPped while under Windows NT(DOS). 
      If you experience problems running the driver it may be necessary to 
      BOOT DOS to unZIP the file.

Please run the NICSETUP program before installing the card into the system.
Note that NICSETUP is a real-mode DOS program and cannot be run through a DOS 
Window spawned from NT. To run NICSETUP you need to reboot your PC and boot
from DOS. While in NICSETUP select settings as needed according to your PC's
operating environment. Please note the following:

    o The EWORKS3.SYS NT driver requires that the EtherWORKS 3 module
      be configured for 32K or 64K Memory mode. 2K mode is NOT currently 
      supported. Use NICSETUP to change the Memory mode setting.

    o EISA mode is supported for DE203/DE204/DE205-AB modules only. 
      (Please refer to the README.TXT file in the /EISA directory of this 
      distribution media for instructions on configuring your EtherWORKS 3 
      card for EISA mode.)

Please record the IO BASE address that the EtherWORKS 3 card is set to as 
you will will be asked for the IO base address (ISA installations) during 
installation. Memory Mode, Memory Base Address and IRQ will be auto-detected 
by the driver. Once you have completed configuring your EtherWORKS 3 card
it is recommended that you run DIAGNOSTICS(under NICSETUP) to ensure that
the card will function properly. You can now install the driver as follows:

 1) Click on the Network Control applet via the Control Panel icon. 
 2) Click on ADD ADAPTER
 3) Select "<Other> Requires disk from manufacturer"
 3a) If you are installing the card in ISA mode please specify ONE of the 
     following two pathname's according to your PC's hardware platform:

			a:\win_nt\fieldtst\i386\isa 
			a:\win_nt\fieldtst\alpha\isa

 3b) If you are installing the card in EISA mode please specify ONE of the 
     following two pathname's according to your PC's hardware platform:
			    
			a:\win_nt\fieldtst\i386\eisa 
			a:\win_nt\fieldtst\alpha\eisa


INTERPRETING EVENT LOG ENTRIES:

If there are events in the error log which are written by the EWORKS3 driver,
event information can be determined by examining the last longword of the 
entry.

Value   Problem
-----   -------
0       No useful information has been logged.
1       CRC fault on the adapter's EEPROM.  Possible hardware fault.
2       Shared memory size is illegal.  Use 32k or 64k.
3       Memory could not be allocated.  The system is lacks sufficient memory.
4       Shared memory could not be mapped, probably a system conflict.
5       Filter Init failed.  Possible lack of sufficient system memory.


CHANGES PREVIOUS TO FT1.4 RELEASE:

o During installation 0x300 is now the default IO base.
o Improved error reporting.
o Potential timing problems on fast CPUs (60 MHZ +) have been fixed.
o Both EISA and ISA modes are supported.
o ALPHA support has been added.
o Support for Build 528 has been added.
o Version number support has been added.  Use the "properties" entry under
  the "file" pull-down menu in the File Manager.
