INSTALLATION

The adapters use shared memory. VGA adapters will use the A block through C7FFF. Memory adapters will use the entire D block. If you don’t have a memory adapter installed, the D block is your best selection - otherwise the C8000 starting address can be used on the standard memory adapters.

If Windows is installed on an Ethernet client, then it is necessary to modify the SYSTEM.INI File. See the Network Software Installation Guide.

When using the packet driver version 4.0 or above, you must use IPX (NSHPD) LAN Option 1.05.03 or above.

If you are using a Kingston Memory Board, DO NOT use automatic configuration after copying the Cabletron ADF file.
