=========================================================================
    IBM LAN SERVER
=========================================================================


    The Ethernet by Boca driver may also be configured to run
    under the IBM LAN Server environment. Although the IBM LAN Server
    software uses the same NDIS driver as the Microsoft LAN Manager 
    network operating system, the IBM LAN Server software requires a 
    NIF file that differs from Microsoft's LAN Manager. This NIF file is 
    included on the Driver diskette.

    Follow the guidelines in the IBM LAN Adapter and Protocol Support
    Configuration Guide for details on installing the driver from
    the Ethernet by Boca driver diskette.

    To install the PCnet (PCNTND) NDIS driver for IBM LAN Server,
    complete the following steps:

    1.  Insert the Ethernet by Boca driver diskette.
    2.  In IBM LAN Server, select or run the LAPS (LAN Adapter and
	Protocol Support) program.  Please refer to the IBM LAN Adapter
	and Protocol Support Configuration Guide to access this utility
	and for more details on how to install additional adapters and
	device drivers.
    3.  From the IBM LAPS dialog box, choose the INSTALL button to
	install a Network adapter card for the IBM LAN Server
	environment.  If the Ethernet by Boca adapter card has already been
	INSTALLed, skip to step 6.
    4.  Specify the drive and path (LANSRVR) to copy the appropriate 
	files from the driver diskette.  For example, please enter 
	A:\LANSRVR.
    5.  After successfully installing or copying the appropriate NIF
	files from the disk, the IBM LAPS dialog box will appear again.
    6.  Select the Configure option, from the IBM LAPS dialog box, to 
	complete the installation of the NDIS driver for the adapter card.
    7.  In the Configuration dialog box, choose the "Configure LAN
	transports" (default) option and select Continue.
    8.  When the Configure Workstation dialog box is displayed,
	remove the current configurations from the Current Configuration
	list box.
    9.  Choose the AMD PCnet Family Ethernet Adapter from the Network
	Adapters list box, by highlighting the entry. Then choose "Add", 
	to add the Ethernet adapter card to the Current Configuration 
	list box.
    10. Highlight the appropriate protocols in the Protocols list
	box. Then choose Add to add them to the Current Configuration
	list box.
    11. Choose the AMD PCnet adapter at the Current Configuration
	list box. Select Edit, this will display the Parameters dialog 
	box.
    12. View the default configuration. If the default configuration
	is appropriate, choose OK.
	Please make all modifications necessary to match the jumper
	settings.

    To install the driver for IBM Extended Services 1.0, follow
    these steps:
    1. Insert the Ethernet by Boca driver diskette into the floppy 
       drive.

=========================================================================
Windows for Workgroups
=========================================================================


    Microsoft's Windows for Workgroups 3.11 supports both NDIS 2.0.1
    and NDIS 3.0 drivers.  Although Windows for Workgroups includes
    drivers that are compatible with Ethernet by Boca products (AMD 
    PCNet-ISA, Novell/Anthem NE2100), the Ethernet by Boca diskette
    provides both NDIS drivers to run under the Windows for Workgroups 
    3.11 environment. 
    Please note the format and procedure to install the NDIS drivers 
    for Windows for Workgroups 3.11 is different from that of Windows 
    for Workgroups 3.1.


    To install the Ethernet by Boca NDIS 2.0.1 and/or NDIS 3.0 drivers,
    simply follow the instructions given below:

   1.  Insert the driver diskette into the system's floppy drive.
   2.  In the Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Program Manager, double
       click on the Windows Setup icon from the MAIN group window.
   3.  While in the Windows Setup dialog box, select the Change
       Network Settings from the Options menu to install Ethernet by Boca
       drivers from the driver diskette.
   4.  From the Network Setup dialog box, select the "Drivers..."
       button to install the NDIS 2.0.1 and NDIS 3.0 drivers.
   5.  In the Network Drivers dialog box, select Add Adapter button 
       to install the Ethernet by Boca device drivers.
   6.  In the Add Network Adapter window, choose the "Unlisted or 
       Updated Network Adapter" from the menu and then select OK.
   7.  The Install driver dialog box will appear.  Enter the floppy
       drive letter and specify the WFW311 path to install the Ethernet 
       by Boca drivers.  For example, A:\WFW311.  Then select OK.
   8.  The Advanced Micro Devices PCnet Family selection will appear
       under the Network Adapters list.  Simply select OK to continue.
   9.  Then, the user will be asked a series of questions for the
       correct Interrupt channel, DMA channel, Twisted Pair keyword
       option, and the four LED keyword options.
       For Ethernet by Boca adapter boards, the Interrupt channel and
       DMA channel must be entered and must correspond to the jumper
       settings on the card.
       NOTE:Choose "Yes" to replace all files with current selection.  Be
       sure to enter A:\WFW311 when asked for the AMD PCNet diskette.
  10.  Then, select OK to exit.  Windows for Workgroups 3.11 will
       ask the user to reboot the machine once installation is
       completed.
			
The installation for Windows for Workgroups is now completed.

Universal Boot Rom
=============================================================================

Installing an Universal Boot ROM
(File is found on Boca BBS, 407-241-1601, 24 Hours, 14400, N, 8, 1)


On the Boca Research BBS in the ETHERNET file area is a file called
NETROM.HEX.  The NETROM.HEX is an universal boot ROM for ethernet
devices which allows remote boot from Novell Server, LAN Manager
(server), or IBM LAN Server.  The boot ROM is based on the IBM
RPL protocol.  The installation process for this boot ROM is
described below.



1.  Burn a PROM with the NETROM.HEX file present in a sub-directory
    called PROM on a formatted diskette.  The hex file is in Intel
    MCS-86 hex format.

2.  Put the Boot ROM in the 28-pin socket.

3.  Install the Boot ROM jumper on the card.

4.  The Boot ROM will only work with the following  four
    configurations:

			    Boot Rom
     Config  I/O   IRQ DMA  Address
     -------------------------------
	1   300H    3   5   C8000H
	2   320H    4   6   CC000H
	3   340H    5   7   D0000H
	4   360H    9   3   D4000H

5.  Follow the Boot ROM installation procedure given in the
    Novell Installation Manual, MicroSoft LAN Manager (server)
    or IBM LAN Server documentation to create the Boot Image 
    File on the server.

6.  Remote boot from the server. The diskless workstation will display
    some sign-on messages followed by three choices for the user. The user
    is prompted to select the remote boot server (Novell, MicorSoft LAN 
    Manager, or IBM LAN Server). Once the user makes a selection, the 
    remote boot process is started.

    NOTE: This version of the Boot ROM code does not display "Boot from
    Network (Y/N)" message. make sure that you do not have any
    bootable device in the system (no 'A' or 'C' drive). In a diskless
    workstation without a bootable device, this boot ROM code will take 
    over the remote boot process.
