   ACER 5220 PC-NFS device drivers is distributed on one 360K bytes
  diskette. And four programs put in the subdirectory \NFS5220W.

   As to it's contents and facilities as following:


    a. NFS5220.SYS  - Acer 5220 PC-NFS device driver is identical
		      to the file NFS5220.SYS of the subdirectory
		      \NFS5220.

       Command syntax:

	DEVICE=C:\NFS\NFS5220.SYS [/i#] [/p###]

	This command instruction must put in CONFIG.SYS file.

       where:

	1. /i# is the hardware interrupt value used.

	2. /p### is the base I/O port address in hexa.


      Argument 1,2 should be used only when the factory settings
      have been changed. If both of argument are omitted, the
      default values are IRQ2 and Port Address 260h individually.
      Its function is similar to give value like  /i2 /p260.


      Sample CONFIG.SYS file: (for Acer 5220 Ethernet controller)

	┌──────────────────────────────────────────┐
	│  DEVICE=\ANSI.SYS			   │
	│  DEVICE=\NFS\PCNFS.SYS		   │
	│  DEVICE=\NFS\SOCKDRV.SYS		   │
	│  DEVICE=\NFS\NFS5220.SYS		   │
	│  BUFFERS=20				   │
	│  FILES=20				   │
	│  LASTDRIVE=M				   │
	└──────────────────────────────────────────┘


    b. SHELLDRV.OBJ - Acer 5220 device driver for NetWare V2.0a.
		      This object file should be linked with NetWare
		      2.0a IPX shell by shell generation.

    c. E5220SH.obj  - Acer 5220 device driver for NetWare V2.10,
		      2.11, 2.12. this object file should be linked
		      with NetWare 2.10 or later IPX shell by shell
		      generation.

    d. 5220SH.LAN   - Acer 5220 NetWare IPX Shell Pointer File, for
		      Novell NetWare V2.10 or later. It's must be
		      used by shell generation.

    e. SELNFS.COM   - This program is put in \AUTOEXEC.BAT file, to
		      select NFSRUN to active PC-NFS drivers or not ?
		      Detail usage may refer to drivers manual.

    f. XDVMAP.COM   - PC-NFS drivers always occupy logical driver A:
		      to V:, taht will affect Netware search drivers
		      operation.   Acer offer XDVMAP.COM to reset
		      the redundant logical drivers that occupied
		      by PC-NFS to be available for Netware search
		      drivers.



    NOTE1.  The SHELLDRV.OBJ and E5220SH.OBJ NetWare drivers for
	    PC-NFS  workstation  are different	from the NetWare
	    driver in  the  "Acer 5220  NetWare Device Drivers"
	    diskette.


   More details about installation and facilities refers to "ACER
