NDIS Drivers

If you have installed NDIS drivers (for running Microsoft® LAN Manager or IBM® LAN Server, for example), you must change the SLOT line in the PROTOCOL.INI ﬁle. The ﬁle is located on the startup diskette or the hard drive. The 3C59X EtherDisk diskette contains a sample PROTOCOL.INI ﬁle in the directory NDIS\DOS.

To install a second adapter in Windows NT, do not change the PROTOCOL.INI ﬁle. Instead, repeat the procedure used to install the ﬁrst adapter.

The 3C59X EtherDisk diskette can be used as an OEM import diskette for Windows for Workgroups and Windows NT. The path to the OEM ﬁles should point to \NDIS\WFW or \NDIS\WINNT35, respectively.

The NDIS drivers are as follows:
NDIS 2.0x	EL59X.DOS
	EL59X.OS2
NDIS 3.0x
Windows for Workgroups	EL59X.386
Windows NT, version 3.5	EL59X.SYS
Windows 95	EL59X.VXD
