   Packet driver installation

  The EtherExpress adapter Packet driver is available on our latest disk 
  in the directory  \packet\exp16.com (or from Crynwr Software).  This 
  document applies to the EtherExpress(tm) 16, 16TP, 16C, FLASH, FLASH TP, 
  FLASHC, MCA, and MCA/TP adapters.


  BEFORE YOU START
  ================
  First, configure and test the EtherExpress 16 adapter with SOFTSET.EXE.
  Boot the workstation with DOS, and then insert the EtherExpress 16 LAN 
  Adapter Configuration and Driver disk into drive A. From DOS, type:

	A:SOFTSET

  1. Select "AUTOMATIC SETUP" to let SOFTSET configure the EtherExpress 16 
     adapter to work in your computer, or select "MANUAL SETUP" if you want 
     to designate which interrupt and I/O address you want the adapter
     to use.
  
  2. Select "RUN DIAGNOSTICS" from the main menu to test the configuration you 
     have selected. 


 GENERAL INSTALLATION
 ====================
  EXP16.COM is an auto sense-packet driver.  That means it will scan I/O 
  addresses until it finds the EtherExpress 16 and download the IRQ from the 
  EPROM. The software interrupt still needs to be in the command line when 
  invoking the packet driver.

  usage: EXP16 [-n] [-d] [-w] <s/w_int> {io_addr}

    -n        For use with the BYU IPX stack
    -d        Delay intialization for boot roms
    -w        For use with windows (this insures that the driver does not 
              make a call to the wrong V86 box in 386-e windows)
    <sw_int>  Software interrupt 60-80 hex, example 0x7c
    {io_addr} I/O address (optional)


 Example:     EXP16 0x7C

 Where EXP16: is name of the packet driver
        0x7C:  is the software interrupt 7C


     NOTE:     The I/O address is not needed because this packet driver scans
               for the I/O address. If the I/O address is included and is
               not the same as the I/O address set in SOFTSET, errors will
               occur.
