Installing driver on Microsoft Windows NT3.5
────────────────────────────────────────────────────

   1)  In the Main group of NT, choose the Control Panel icon.

   2)  In the Control Panel window, choose the Network icon.

   3)  In the Network Settings dialog box, choose the Add Adapter button.
       The Add Network Adapter dialog box appears.

   4)  In the list of network cards, select "<other> Requires disk from
       manufacturer", and then press <Enter> button.

   5)  Insert this driver disk in drive A, enter drive and pathname A:\NT35
       and then choose the OK button.

   6)  In the Select OEM Option dialog box, you will see ISA NE-Series Ethernet
       Adapter in the menu, use OK button to install it.

   7)  And then ISA NE-Series Ethernet Adapter Setup dialog box appear, you
       can specify "IRQ level" and "I/O Port Address" of the adapter plugged
       in your PC. However, this NDIS 3.1 mini port driver has support auto
       IO, IRQ scan, so driver can work even user select a wrong IO port and
       IRQ.

       For multiple cards installation, specify correct IO port and IRQ is
       necessary.

   8)  After that, installation is completed.  Our adapter becomes one
       of those Installed Adapter Cards and driver become one of those
       Installed Network Software. You can see: "[0x]ISA NE-Series Ethernet
       Adapter" within Installed Adapter Cards menu and "ISA NE-Series Ethernet
       Adapter Driver" within Installed Network Software menu.

   9)  Now, the SYSTEM have already copied NDIS31.SYS from A:\NT35
       directory to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS and the OEMSETUP.INF form
       A:\NT35 to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 but renamed it to other installation
       information file. So next time, if you want to add our adapters
       to your system, you do not need floppy diskette again.

  10)  To complete network installation, remember binding the adapter to
       transport drivers by choosing "Bindings" button under Network Setting
       dialog box.

  11)  Restarting your system you will acquire network service.
