This README.TXT file contains information to help you set up
your Megahertz XJ10BT or CC10BT Ethernet Adapter Using the
32-bit ODI Driver and avoid common problem areas when using
your PC Card.

---------------------------------------------------------------
1. Configuring the PC Card
As with many products, the Ethernet Adapter requires an
interrupt (IRQ) and a range of I/O addresses. If you choose
an IRQ or I/O address that conflicts with another device, you
will get undesirable results if you don't modify one of the
cards' configurations.
---------------------------------------------------------------
2. Specifying the IRQ When Loading the Driver
When using an "int" parameter on the command line when loading
the mhzodi32.lan driver, you must specify the interrupt number
in hexadecimal notation. For interrupts 3 through 7 and 9,
this is the same as integer notation i.e., int=5. When using
a value of 10 (A), 11 (B), 12 (C), or 14 (E), use the hex
equivalent i.e. int=B instead of int=11.
---------------------------------------------------------------
3. The Enablers
There are two enablers on this release:
NWENABLE.EXE is an enabler that is made to be used on a Novell
NetWare server. It requires Card and Socket Services.
ENABLE.EXE is a generic enabler for Megahertz products. It is
designed to be used either as a point enabler or in
conjunction with Card and Socket Services. Novell's Client32
requires Card and Socket Services, so ENABLE.EXE will not be
used as a point enabler. Be sure Card and Socket Services are
loaded before running ENABLE.EXE.
---------------------------------------------------------------
4. Installation Using the 32-bit ODI Driver
A. Novell's Client 32 for DOS/Windows 3.1 with the
Ethernet Adapter
Follow these steps to install Novell's Client 32 for DOS/
Windows 3.1 with the Megahertz Ethernet Adapter using the
32-bit ODI driver:
1. Enable the Ethernet Adapter using ENABLE. Keep track
of the Base I/O port and the Hardware Interrupt (IRQ)
it uses.
2. Execute Novell's Client 32 for DOS/Windows 3.1 INSTALL
program and follow instructions.
3. When you get the prompt to "Select a LAN Driver Type",
select "32-bit LAN drivers."
4. From the list of Network Board Drivers, select "USER
SPECIFIED 32 BIT DRIVER."
5. Insert your 32-bit ODI driver diskette into the floppy
disk drive and select the A: drive.
6. Choose "Megahertz Ethernet MHZODI32."
7. Set the "Base I/O Port" and the "Hardware Interrupt"
to the same values the Enabler specified in Step 1.
8. Continue following the instructions.
***************************************************************
B. Novell NetWare with the Ethernet Adapter
Follow these steps to install Novell NetWare with the Ethernet
Adapter using the 32-bit ODI driver:
1. Insert the Ethernet Adapter into PCMCIA Slot A. This
is important because of a bug in Novell's NBI.NLM that
will be fixed in a future release. If you have two
PCMCIA slots, check your computer's documentation to
determine which one is Slot A.
2. Make sure Card and Socket Services are running on the
computer.
3. Enable the card using the provided Server Enabler
(NWENABLE), keeping track of the Base I/O port and the
Hardware Interrupt (IRQ) it uses.
If you're using two cards, it's easier to copy
NWENABLE.EXE to another name, such as SLOT1.EXE, and
create a corresponding SLOT1.INI file. The enabler
will enable only one card at a time, so it must be
run twice using different files. See the Megahertz
Installation diskette.
While installing the server, when you need to select a
driver, press <INS> to "Install an unlisted driver".
4. Choose MHZODI32.LAN from the A: drive, and when
prompted, use the same Base I/O Port and Hardware
Interrupt the NWENABLE used.
5. Continue following the instructions.
***************************************************************
C. Windows 95 with the Ethernet Adapter
Follow these steps to install Windows 95 with the Megahertz
Ethernet Adapter using the 32-bit ODI driver.
Note: IRQ 15 cannot be used for the Megahertz Ethernet
Adapter. If Windows 95 chooses IRQ 15 for use with it,
you must manually assign a different IRQ. See section
5 below for information on how to do this.
1. If you are logged in to the network, log out.
2. Run UNINSTAL.EXE from the diskette.
3. Remove the Ethernet Adapter from the computer.
4. Install Novell's Client 32 for Windows 95 if not
already done.
5. When you are prompted, insert the Ethernet Adapter and
place the Installation diskette into the floppy disk
drive.
6. Continue following the prompts as they appear.
---------------------------------------------------------------
5. Manually Changing the Base I/O Range or the IRQ
If you are prompted to make a choice on the Base I/O range or
the Hardware Interrupt with a Novell dialog box, do this:
1. Go into the Windows 95 Device Manager.
2. Go to Network Adapters.
3. Double-click "MEGAHERTZ CC/XJ10BT PCMCIA Network
Adapter."
4. Choose Resources.
5. Deselect "Use Automatic Settings."
6. Choose an "Interrupt Request" that does not conflict
with any others, from the following list: 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14.
