T1108 IPX workstation driver installation

 1. Insert the T1108 driver diskette into a floppy
    drive or create a subdirectory on the server hard drive called
    LAN_DRV_.RAC.

 2. If you create the LAN_DRV_.RAC subdirectory on a hard drive,
    copy the IPXSHELL.OBJ and IPXSHELL.LAN files from the driver
    diskette to the appropriate subdirectory.

 3. Using the Novell WSGEN utility, create the IPX.COM file.
    Type:  WSGEN
    Press <ENTER>. Follow the menus to highlight the appropriate
    driver. Select the Racore TMS380/2000 network adapter.

    For more information regarding WSGEN.EXE, see Novell
    documentation.

 4. Use the Novell JUMPERS utility to select different options.

 NOTE: The IPX.COM file will be created under the WSGEN subdirectory.
 Copy the IPX.COM to diskette or to the hard drive to use it.

Options supported by the T1108 IPX Driver
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The following is a list of defaults and available options when
 using the Novell WSGEN utility to create the IPX.COM file.

. To select other options and/or combinations select option 4,
  then use the Novell JUMPERS utility.

 Note: For options 0: Ring Speed = 16Mb/s and Zero Wait


 Option:       I/O Address:    Interrupt:      DMA:
 ===============================================================
 0             A20h            2               PseudoDMA - 8 bit
 1             N/A
 2             N/A
 3             N/A
 4             Self-configured
 5             Driver Configurable By Novell's JUMPERS Utility


 Supported Options For Novell's JUMPERS Utility
 ==============================================================
 DMA:  Pseudo DMA
 I/O:  0A20h, 0A40h
 IRQ: 2(9), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, Not Set
 Sixteen bit PDMA: No, Yes
 Zero wait state I/O ports: No, Yes

 PDMA or PseudoDMA can be configured for either 8 or 16 bit
 transfers. Consult the documentation accompanying the adapter card
 to see if the 16 bit mode is supported. All adapters, however,
 support the 8 bit mode. To enable PDMA using the JUMPERS utility,
 select DMA=NONE.

 Zero Wait State I/O Ports can only be enabled on an adapter card
 running in the 8 bit PseudoDMA mode. A slight increase in performance
 is possible from adapters running in this mode. Not all host computers
 are able to support this option. If a system lock up occurs while
 using this option, discontinue use.
