     3C59XCFG [Enter]

3.  When the main menu appears, select Adapter Configuration 
    and press [Enter]

4.  The Adapter Configuration screen appears with 
    the IRQ shown in the Standard Options box.

 Banyan VINES Installations
 --------------------------

 To install VINES 6.0 software on a DOS NDIS 
 workstation, follow these instructions.  DOS 
 must be installed on the target workstation 
 C: drive, or you must have a bootable DOS floppy.

 1.  Use the DOS MD command to create a subdirectory 
     called \VINES.

 2.  Copy the contents of the VINES LAN S/W (DOS) 
     Install diskette into the \VINES subdirectory.

 3.  Copy the contents of the NDIS subdirectory on 
     the VINES LAN S/W (DOS) 2 of 2 diskette into 
     the \VINES subdirectory.

 4.  Copy the EL59X.DOS and the PROTOCOL.INI fragment 
     from the NDIS\DOS subdirectory on the EtherDisk 
     diskette to the \VINES subdirectory.

 5.  Edit the PROTOCOL.INI file to read as follows:

     [PROTOCOL MANAGER]
      DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$

     [VINES_XIF]
      DRIVERNAME = NDISBAN$
      BINDINGS = EL59X

     [EL59X]
      DRIVERNAME = EL59X$
 
 6.  Run the PCCONFIG.EXE program located in the \VINES subdirectory.
                                                         
 7.  Select option 1, Netword Card Settings.

 8.  Select the NDIS Ethernet option.

 9.  The NDIS workstation screen appears. Enter the interrupt request 
     number (IRQ) you selected for the 3Com Fast Etherlink/EtherLink III 
     Bus Master adapter. 

10.  Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and add the following 
     lines, substituting A: for C: for a floppy 
     disk installation.
                                   
     DEVICE = C:\VINES\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\VINES
     DEVICE = C:\VINES\EL59X.DOS

11. Insert the following lines in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

     CD \VINES
     BAN
     
     BAN loads the NDISBAN drivers and reads the PCCONFIG.DB 
     file to invoke changes made during the PCCONFIG stage.
