3Com Corporation                               
                          EtherDisk Diskette for the
                          EtherLink II Adapter Family



The EtherDisk diskette provides you with the necessary software, utilities, 
and documentation to use 3Com's EtherLink II family of adapters with various 
network operating systems (NOSs).  The diskette also includes the diagnostic 
program and additional files containing user information.  The adapter guide 
comes packaged with the adapter and gives important information	on adapter 
installation and use.  The adapter guide should be used in conjunction with 
the EtherDisk diskette.


NOTE:  Unless otherwise indicated, the term "EtherLink II adapter" refers to
       the EtherLink II (3C503), the EtherLink II TP (3C503-TP), the
       EtherLink II/16 (3C503-16), and the EtherLink II/16 TP (3C503-16-TP) 
       adapters.  All of these adapters must be selected as an EtherLink II 
       adapter in your setup program (for example Novell's WSGEN) during the 
       installation procedure.


Before you install the network drivers, follow the procedures in your adapter
guide to:

      -  install your adapter
      -  run the diagnostic program
      -  connect to the network

To run the diagnostic program and to update the network drivers, use the Menu
Program on the EtherDisk diskette.  To access the program, type MENU at the 
prompt.  Refer to the adapter guide or the release note for the EtherDisk 
diskette v2.0 for more information.
