		       Readme File for NDIS Driver Usage
		    =======================================
								PAGE 1

1. Introduction:


	The NDIS lan driver is designed for LCS-8634 series adapter.

	The device driver conforms to the Microsoft/3Com Network Driver

	Interface Specification(NDIS) which is a de facto standard in

	the industry. The driver can be used in the DOS workstation of

	LAN Manager or any network O.S. which support NDIS protocol.


2. Diskette Directory Structure:


	The following directory structure is identical to the installation

	diskettes of the LAN Manager with two exceptions. One is an added

	level at the top of the directory named MSLANMAN.DOS, and the other

	is an added readme file README.TXT in MSLANMAN.DOS directory.

	<ROOT>
	  
	  MSLANMAN.DOS
	      
	      DRIVERS
	          
	          ETHERNET
	          	
	          	LM8634.DOS
	          	
	          	PROTOCOL.INI
	          
	          NIF
	       	 
	       	 LM8634.NIF
	      
	      README.TXT

	The following describes the directory contents under the DRIVERS tree:

		NIF	 Contains the NDIS Network Information Files that are

			 read by the setup utility.

		ETHERNET Contains NDIS drivers and Protocol.ini files for

			 Ethernet cards. Each NDIS driver should have it's own

			 subdirectory by the name of the associated NIF file.

3. NIF File Formats:


	There are two information files in this diskette: LM8634.NIF and

	PROTOCOL.INI. The LM8634.NIF file provides the information for

	setup utility needs to coordinate and install LM8634.DOS driver. The

	PROTOCOL.INI file is used by the LANMAN Protocol manager and netbind

	program at startup time. This file contains the NDIS and Transport

	specific parameters for the network.


     >> NIF Format:

		Model = Longshine 8634 adapter
		Path = ethernet\LM8634
		DeviceDriver = LM8634.dos
		Type = NDIS

	The following is a description of each field.

	Model	: A descriptive remark about the card. This entry is free form

		  and may contain any characters.

	Path	: Location of the files that are pertinent to the driver, i.e,

		  the Protocol.ini file and the driver itself.

	DeviceDriver: The name of the device driver that is added to config.sys.

	Type	: Specifies the type of driver. (always assign NDIS)


     >> PROTOCOL.INI:

	A protocol.ini file must be created for the NDIS driver. The format for
	the file is shown below.

		IOBase = 0x300
		Interrupt = 3
		DriverName = LM8634$

	This file describes the hardware configuration for your LCS-8634

	Ethernet adapter, and the DriverName should assign a character string

	(less than 8 octects) as a name for device driver LM8634.DOS.

4. Installing the new driver:


	a. After installation of your DOS Workstation of LAN Manager

	   , change the directory to the default root pathname

	   LANMAN.DOS and run utility SETUP.


	b. Press enter to skip Full Help message box and select "Actions"

	   item:

Microsoft LAN Manager SETUP
Actions   Options    Exit
Ŀ
  Install...		    
  View/modify...	    
  Save 		    
ĳ
  Remove		    
  Detach		    
  Attach		    
ĳ
  Import network drivers   
ĳ
  About Setup...	    


	c. Select "Import network drivers" subitem and press enter to skip Full

	   Help message box and a message box will display like below.

Microsoft LAN Manager SETUPF1=Help
  Actions    Options	Exit








			   Import Network Drivers Ŀ

	d. You can decide for which drive you want to import network

	   drivers. When the drive has been selected a message box will show:

Microsoft LAN Manager SETUPF1=Help
  Actions    Options	Exit







			 Ŀ
			 	    Insert	     
			    a network driver disk   
			 	 in drive A:	     
			      and press ENTER	     
			 ĳ
			    OK    <Cancel>	     
			 


	e. You must follow the indication of above message to insert

	   driver disk in drive a: and press ENTER then SETUP utility will

	   read the information file in driver disk and show the following

	   box.

Microsoft LAN Manager SETUPF1=Help
  Actions    Options	Exit

	       Import Network Drivers Ŀ
	       						 
	       Network adapter cards:				 
	        Ŀ

	f. Press Space Bar to select the driver (there are only one choice in

	   above message box) and press enter to download the device driver

	   from diskette to hard disk.


	g. After above steps have been taken, you can return to the main menu

	   (refer b.) and select the subitem "View/modify..." to install this

	   driver on your LAN Manager DOS Workstation (refer LAN Manager

	   Installation Guide & Network Device Driver Guide in detail).
