3Com (R) Corporation
                     EtherDisk (R) Diskette for
                The 3C5X9 EtherLink III NIC Family
          EtherDisk 6.0 for the 3C509B Etherlink III ISA  NIC.

General Changes 

EtherDisk 6.0 introduces the 3Com Installation and Diagnostic Wizard!
This EtherDisk features a  user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) that
guides the user through a wizard-style installation. This new Installation
and Diagnostics Wizard is the major focus of this Etherdisk release. No
major changes or enhancements have been included in this driver release
other than the introduction of the new Installation and Diagnostics Wizard.


	EtherDisk #1 contains all the files necessary to install the
        EtherLink III in Windows 95 or Windows NT.  This includes a Windows
        based GUI installer and a post installation configuration and
        diagnostic tool, accessible from a system tray icon. 

	EtherDisk #2 contains the software that was on EtherDisk 5.1, except
        for Windows 95 and Windows NT.  This includes installation for
        NetWare versions 3.X and 4.X, various DOS based network operating
        systems, IBM OS/2, and the packet driver.
	
	For more information refer to \help\readme.txt on Disk 2.

Installation

	Two new Windows 95 installation options have been added to this
        release, Express and Custom Installation.
	
	Express Installation is recommended when the three following
        conditions exist.

                 1.  Plug and Play is enabled on the NIC,
                 2.  Microsoft TCP/IP protocol is required in your environment
                 3.  A DHCP server is used in your network.

	If one or more of these conditions are not met use the Custom
        Installation. See the User Guide for Custom Installation instructions.
	
        (Consult your PC documentation to determine whether your PC supports
         Plug and Play)

	It is strongly recommended that you run the Preinstal program  before
        the driver installation to determine possible resource and driver
        conflict which may prevent the successful installation of the new
        driver.

	For more information refer to \help\w95ndis3.txt on Disk 2.

Documentation

	A revised User Guide and Quick Guide  are also available in PDF
        format and can be downloaded from the 3Com WEB site. 3Com strongly
        recommends that you download the documentation when using this driver
        release as the installation procedures have changed significantly from
        previous Etherdisk versions.

For additional information on installation and other changes please refer to
the files in the \help directory on Disk 2.
