                               02/14/96


Description:

  1. 940-OD.COM is a new ODI workstation driver. It is for the DOS environment
     only and therefore defaults to the 802.2 frame type.

  2. If there is only one 940 card, the driver will automatically get IOBASE
     and IRQ from PCI Configuration Space.

  3. If there is more than 940 card, user must indicate a specified IOBASE
     in NET.CFG file.

  4. If you want to login to Netware server, you need five files:

        LSL.COM
        940-OD.COM
        IPXODI.COM
        VLM.EXE
        NET.CFG


Installation:

   1. The running sequence is:

                LSL.COM
                940-OD.COM   --> Winbond's DOS ODI driver
                IPXODI
                VLM or NETX

   2. Modify the NET.CFG file to set
      (a) 'Ethernet Frame' type if you'd like, the valid NET.CFG file is below:

                Link driver 940-od
                    frame ethernet_802.2
                    frame ethernet_802.3
                    frame ethernet_ii
                    frame ethernet_snap

      (b) 'IOBASE' if there are more than one 940 cards, the valid NET.CFG
          is below:

                Link driver 940-od
                   port d000

       For more information on NET.CFG parameters, see "NetWare Workstation for
       DOS" or "ODI for DOS User's Guide".

Trouble Shooting:

   1. Message: 'No Winbond 940 IO card existed.'
      Solution: Make sure that your W89C940 PCI card is plugged into the
                system.

   2. Message: 'There are multiple Winbond 940 cards. Use NET.CFG to specify
               I/O port.'
      Solution: Because there is more than one 940 card in your system, you
                must use the I/O port to select a W89C940 card. This is done by
                adding the following statements to the NET.CFG file:

                        Link Driver 940-OD
                            port d000      ---> selected W89C940 card

   3. Message: 'A File Server could not be found.'
      Solution: Make sure
                a. your W89C940 PCI card is connected to the cable,
                b. the Novell OS is active in this network,
                c. the frame type between client(your system) and server(Novell
                   OS) is the same.
