                             Netware Directory


This directory and the directories below it contain configuration software
and run-time drivers for using your AST local area network adapter with a
NetWare environment.  Please consult your AST LAN Adapter Installation
Guide for instructions on configuring the adapter, and your AST-Advanced
NetWare or other NetWare documentation for instructions on installing
NetWare.

Before you can configure and install NetWare with your AST adapter, you
must first place the correct drivers on your NetWare diskettes.  If you are
using AST-Advanced NetWare, these drivers should already be on your NetWare
master diskettes.  If you purchased NetWare from another vendor or if the
driver you need is not on your NetWare masters, please follow the following
instructions.

This diskette contains drivers which are certified for use with NetWare
versions 2.0a and 2.12.  They will also run with any other version of
NetWare which is compatible with either of these two releases.  If you are
using NetWare 2.0X (including 2.0a, 2.0a++ and 2.01), proceed to Step 1.
If you are using NetWare 2.1X (including 2.1 and 2.12), proceed to Step 9.


STEPS 1-8 ARE FOR NETWARE 2.0X ONLY
===================================

1.   Make backup copies of your NetWare 2.0X  GENOS-1 and GENSH-1
     diskettes, and put the originals safely back in their box.

2.   Insert your copy of GENOS-1 into a floppy disk drive and use the DIR
     command to view the contents of the root  directory.
     
     Typically, you will see something like this:

     Volume in drive A is GENOS-1
     Directory of  A:\

     GENOS    BAT     1220   4-21-86  11:36a
     IBM$RUN  OVL     2016   1-21-86   1:50p
     $RUN     OVL     2016  11-16-85   2:35p
     SYS$MSG  DAT    14225   5-02-86  10:36a
     SYS$ERR  DAT     4508   4-23-86   3:58p
     SELOS    EXE    65536   4-23-87  10:23a
     NULL         <DIR>      1-02-87  12:58a
     TRN          <DIR>      1-02-87  12:58a
     SMC          <DIR>      1-02-87  12:58a
     ASYNC        <DIR>      1-02-87  12:58a
     GNET         <DIR>      1-02-87  12:58a
     ETHERNET     <DIR>      1-02-87  12:58a


3.   Select a directory containing NetWare drivers for hardware you are not
     using.  If you don't use G-NET LAN  adapters, for example, you might
     select the GNET subdirectory.  Please delete the files in that
     directory, followed by the directory itself.

4.   Create a new directory on GENOS-1 called ASTDRVR.

5.   Use the following table to determine which directory  on your AST
     diskette contains NetWare 2.0X drivers for your particular adapter:
     

     Adapter                         AST Diskette Directory
     ------------------------------------------------------
     AST-Ethernet                   \NETWARE\ETHERNET\NW20X
     AST-EtherNode                  \NETWARE\ETHRNODE\NW20X
     AST-Resource Sharing Network   \NETWARE\RSN\NW20X
     AST-Star System                \NETWARE\STAR\NW20X
     

6.   Copy the files in the GENOS1 subdirectory of your adapter driver
     directory (for example, \NETWARE\ETHERNET\NW20X\GENOS1\*.*) into the
     \ASTDRVR directory you just created on GENOS-1.  If there is
     insufficient disk space on GENOS-1, repeat step 3 and delete
     additional unused directories until you can successfully complete this
     step.

7.   Repeat steps 2-6 but using your copy of the GENSH-1  diskette and
     copying files from the GENSH1 subdirectory of your adapter driver
     directory (for example, \NETWARE\ETHERNET\NW20X\GENSH1\*.*).  Be
     careful to remove the same directory from GENSH-1 as you did from
     GENOS-1.

8.   Using your new GENOS-1 and GENSH-1 diskettes, install NetWare 2.0X in
     the usual manner.


STEPS 9-13 ARE FOR NETWARE 2.1X ONLY
====================================

9.   Make backup copies of the following NetWare 2.1X diskettes, and put
     the originals safely back in their box:
     
     SHGEN-1
     LAN_DRVR_002
     AUXGEN
     
     
     Be sure that the copies are not write protected, since you will need
     to write to each of them during the installation process.

10.  Use the following table to determine which directory on your AST
     diskette contains NetWare 2.1X drivers for your particular adapter:
     
     Adapter                         AST Diskette Directory
     ------------------------------------------------------
     
     AST-Ethernet                   \NETWARE\ETHERNET\NW21X
     AST-EtherNode                  \NETWARE\ETHRNODE\NW21X
     AST-Resource Sharing Network   \NETWARE\RSN\NW21X
     AST-Star System                \NETWARE\STAR\NW21X
     
     
11.  Copy *.LAN from your adapter driver directory (for example,
     \NETWARE\ETHERNET\NW21X\*.LAN) to the root directories of your
     SHGEN-1, AUXGEN and LAN_DRV_002 diskettes.

12.  Copy *.OBJ from your adapter driver directory (for example,
     \NETWARE\ETHERNET\NW21X\*.OBJ) to the root directory of your
     LAN_DRV_002 diskette.

13.  Using your new SHGEN-1, LAN_DRV_002 and AUXGEN diskettes, install
     NetWare 2.1X in the usual manner.
