DETAILS REGARDING THE INTEL EtherExpress(tm) 16 DRIVERS
FOR DOS WORKSTATIONS IN VINES 4.0 NETWORKS
=======================================================

These instructions create a boot disk for a DOS workstation
running Vines 4.0.  To create this disk, you will need to
know the I/O address and the IRQ that the EtherExpress 16
board was configured to use.  You can find these values by
running Intel's SOFTSET program and choosing View Current
Configuration from the main menu.

This README file explains how to create a boot disk.  It
does not discuss configuring the EtherExpress 16 boards.  If
you need help configuring a board, see the Complete Guide or
the Expert's Guide for the EtherExpress 16 and 16TP
adapters.


CREATING THE BOOT DISK
======================

Here's how to create a Vines 4.0 boot disk:

1.   Call your local Banyan representative and ask for patch
     NEWREV 2 PATCH 2NNN. This patch is required to make
     Vines 4.0 support the NDIS driver specification.

2.   If you have not already done so, install the patch on
     your server(s).  As you install it, the NDIS support
     files will be copied onto the Z:\PCINIT subdirectory of
     your server.

3.   Before you go any farther, read the NDISBAN.DOC file in
     the Z:\PCINIT subdirectory of your server.

4.   Following Banyan's instructions, start the process for
     creating a boot disk.

5.   Run PCCOPY from the Z drive of the server.

6.   When PCCOPY prompts you to select a LAN adapter, select
     Ethernet NDIS.  PCCOPY will copy the appropriate files
     to your boot disk.

7.   On your boot disk, create a \LANMAN directory in the
     root directory.

8.   From the Intel diskette, copy the \VINES\PROTOCOL.INI
     file to the new \LANMAN directory on the boot disk.
     In spite of Banyan's documentation, don't specify the
     IRQ level in the PROTOCOL.INI file.

     However, if the EtherExpress 16 board is set to use an
     I/O address other than 300h, you will need to edit the
     PROTOCOL.INI.  Simply edit the line IOADDRESS=0x300,
     and replace the 300 with the correct I/O address.

9.   Copy the following file:
           \MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\EXP16\EXP16.DOS
     from the Intel diskette to the directory containing
     BAN.EXE on the boot diskette.  This is typically the
     root directory.

10.  From the boot disk, run PCCONFIG and select Ethernet
     NDIS.  Choose the IRQ to which the EtherExpress board
     is set. When PCCONFIG prompts for "Bindings =", enter
     EXP16.

11.  Before exiting PCCONFIG, save the configuration.

12.  Add these two lines to your CONFIG.SYS file:

          Device=protman.dos
          Device=exp16.dos

13.  Using the boot disk, reboot the workstation.  The
     workstation will logon to the network.


STATUS-CHECKING UTILITY
=======================

We've provided a utility, EXPSTAT.EXE, that allows you to
check the status of the driver.  The utility is located in
the following subdirectory on this disk:

     \MSLANMAN.OS2\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\EXP16

When you execute this the EXPSTAT command, your screen will
display three kinds of information about the driver and the
board.

o    The configuration of the board.

o    The current status of the board.

o    A list of all the types of errors that the board has
     experienced since the system was last booted.  To erase
     the record of error types, reboot the system.
