============================================================================= 
 I. Installing to Windows 95

   If you do not have either Microsoft's ISDN Accelerator Pack 1.1 or Dial-Up
   Network 1.2 already installed on your system, the installer will detect
   this and initiate the installation of the Dial-Up Network 1.2 service pack.
   After the DUN1.2 installation is complete, restart the PC MACLAN installer
   to complete the installation of PC MACLAN Remote or Pro-Pack.

   A.Run Install

          stack to connect to an Ethernet, Token-Ring or Dial-Up network.

	2.To install PC MACLAN onto a LocalTalk network, select Custom
	  Installation and check the Network Transport option.
	  This will give you the opportunity to add an ODI adapter.

	3.After installing PC MACLAN, the AppleTalk protocol stack needs to 
          be entered into the Windows 95 registry.  The installer will do 
          this for you.  Do not reboot your system until this has been 
          accomplished.

 IIa. Upgrading from Personal MACLAN connect v5.5x to PC MACLAN Remote v7.0

 If you have purchased the remote only version of PC MACLAN Remote, you will
 loose your LAN functionality when you upgrade.  Purchase the Pro-Pack to
 retain LAN access.

 Please remove the File Server and Print Server from the Start-up Group prior
 to upgrading.

 You do not need to uninstall v5.5x from Windows 95 prior to installing.

 The File Server database in Personal MACLAN version 5.5x for Windows 95 is
 not compatible with version 6.1.  During installation the installer will
 detect the location of the previous version and will create backup files
 (extension .BAK).  The first time the File Server is run, these .BAK files
 will be converted to the new database format which supports Long File Names.

 IIb. Upgrading from PC MACLAN v6.x to PC MACLAN Remote v7.0

 If you have purchased the remote only version of PC MACLAN Remote, you will
 loose your LAN functionality when you upgrade.  Purchase the Pro-Pack to
 retain LAN access.

 Please remove the File Server and Print Server from the Start-up Group prior
 to upgrading.

 You do not need to uninstall v6.x from Windows 95 prior to re-installing.

 You will need to run the backup utility on the File server to prevent the
 loss of Longname and resource information on Macintosh files stored on PC
 volumes. Before performing the upgrade, if you use the File Server to save 
 Macintosh files on your PC, you must backup the server system files.  From
 the Server menu, select Backup System files and change the destination
 directory to any directory other than "." or "PCMACLAN" or "MACLAN6." After
 completing the upgrade, copy the .BAK files to the PCMACLAN directory and
 change the extension to .DAT.  The next time the server is run the system
 files will be reported as corrupt and a rebuild will be requested.  This
 is normal.

 If you are upgrading from a beta release of PC MACLAN v6.0, due to changes
 to the UNC path structure, you must delete your AppleTalk network printers
 before attempting to print.  Re-establish your printers by double clicking
 the printer from the Network Neighborhood or by browsing in the Add Printer
 wizard.

=============================================================================
 III. Unlisted Adapters information

  If you have a Network adapter that was not listed during Install then 
  you will need to determine whether it came with NDIS or ODI drivers.

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  A.For ODI unlisted adapters

  If you cannot locate your specific network adapter from the Install 
  "Adapter selection list" perform the following STEPS:

	1.Locate the ODI driver on the disk that came with your adapter.
	  (XXXXXXXX.COM)

	2.Copy the ODI driver file into the PC MACLAN Installation
	  directory.
			Ex: Copy A:\ODI\XXXXXXXX.COM C:\MACLAN6
	
	3.Run INSTALL, select Custom install and check the Network Transport
	   checkbox. From the Select Network Adapters and select UNLISTED
	   adapter from the NET CARD list.

	4.After INSTALL, use a text editor like NOTEPAD and edit the NET.CFG
	   file located in the PC MACLAN Installation directory and change all
	   XXXXX text to the name of your ODI driver.

	5.Using a text editor, edit the ATDRIVER.BAT file located in the PC
	   MACLAN Installation directory & change XXXXX text to the name of
	   your ODI driver.

  If your adapter has settings such as different interrupts, DMA, Memory 
  Address, Port Address than those presented during installation it maybe
  necessary to edit the NET.CFG file located in the PMACLAN5 directory.

	Example:

LINK SUPPORT
   BUFFERS 9 628
   MEMPOOL 16K
   MAX BOARDS 4

LINK DRIVER XXXXX           ----->XXXXX          change to your drivers name
#   UNLISTED ADAPTER NAME    
	INT #1 9            ----->INTERRUPT      change 9 to your value
	PORT #1 200 8       ----->PORT ADDRESS   change 200 to your value
	DMA #1 3            ----->DMA Channel    change 3 to your value
	MEM #1 C000 10      ----->Memory Address change C000 10 to your value   
	FRAME ETHERNET_SNAP         
	FRAME ETHERNET_II
	FRAME ETHERNET_802.2
	FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
	PROTOCOL IPX 0 ETHERNET_802.3
	PROTOCOL APPLETALK 80007809B ETHERNET_SNAP
	PROTOCOL AARP 80F3 ETHERNET_SNAP

  For Token-ring, change all "ETHERNET..." text to "TOKEN-RING..." for example:
  instead of "FRAME ETHERNET_SNAP" enter "FRAME TOKEN-RING_SNAP"
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  B.For NDIS3 unlisted adapters. 
  
	1.Run the Network Applet from Windows 95 Control Panel. 

	2.Select Add 

	3.Select Add adapter to see if your Network adapter is listed. If it's
	  unlisted follow the manufacturers' directions on installing NDIS3 
	  drivers for Windows95.

	4.If you find your adapter, select it.
		   
	5.If you do not need to connect to other PCs or to Netware servers,
	  remove the Netbeui and IPX/SPX protocols.

        Be sure to check your Windows 95 documentation for details.

=============================================================================
IV. ERRORS during INSTALLATION

  1.PC MACLAN may have detected incompatible AppleTalk drivers on your
	system.  Please remove all items as listed below from your system
	files.

	IN AUTOEXEC.BAT 
			"aboth.bat"  may appear as "call ABOTH.BAT"
			"aprint.bat" may appear as "call APRINT.BAT"
			"afiles.bat" may appear as "call AFILES.BAT"
			"aarp.com"
			"atalk.com"
			"pntvdd.exe"
  
	IN FILE DIRECTORIES
	Locate your "c:\phonenet" directory and rename "net.cfg" to "net.xxx".

	IN SYSTEM.INI
	Edit & remove: "PhoneNETMemoryPool" statement from the "386Enh" section

  2. "PC MACLAN has detected a previous installation. Drivers are incompatible
	with version 7.0"

	Found earlier version Personal MACLAN Connect/PC MACLAN
	IN AUTOEXEC.BAT
					 ATDRIVER.BAT        
					 MLDRIVER.BAT
					 LMSTART.BAT

  3. "PC MACLAN has detected AppleShare for Windows installation. This 
        is compatible with Personal MACLAN versions 6.0"

	Found AppleShare
	IN AUTOEXEC.BAT			"ATDRIVER.BAT"
					
  4. Norton Navigator
	Disable Norton Navigator before installing as it will prevent
        installation.  You can enable it after Install has completed.

  5. "The AppleTalk driver was not found."
	The file server or print server are in the start-up group.  These must
	be removed before upgrading to PC MACLAN v7.0.

  6. "Warning:Could not modify Net.cfg"
	You have a folder or file named "Install.tmp."  Delete or rename this
	item to allow the installer to complete.
 
=============================================================================
V. ERRORS during system OPERATION
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1. "Need to run LSL.COM"
	This error will occur if you are running Novell Netware and Install
	detected LSL.COM in system memory.

	FIX:  Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT and move the "CALL <path>\ATDRIVER.BAT" 
	statement AFTER the line(s) that execute the LSL and MLID 
	statements.

	Example:
		Before  CALL ATDRIVER.BAT
			PATH C:\DOS;C:\WINDOWS
			C:\NETWARE\LSL
			C:\NETWARE\3C5X9
			etc....
 
		After   PATH C:\DOS;C:\WINDOWS
			C:\NETWARE\LSL
			C:\NETWARE\3C5X9
			CALL ATDRIVER.BAT
			etc....
	
	NOTE:All network device drivers are provided for the exclusive use of
	Personal MACLAN Connect using the manufacturer's proprietary network 
	adapters. Using a manufacturer's network drivers with another manufac-
	turers' network adapter is strictly prohibited.

  2. "Access Denied"
        This error may occur when a file is copied to a "Drop Box" from a DOS
	box.  The operating system attempts to set the time/date of the file
	to its original value after the file has been successfully copied.
	This operation fails and the system returns the error condition.  The
	file has been copied to the "Drop Box" but has the current time/date.

  3.    To browse for network printers from within the Add Printer wizard 
        you'll need to get and install the Win 95 Service Pack.

  4. "File not found" errors:
        Macintosh folders containing a '\' (i.e. backslash) cannot be  accessed
        correctly.

==============================================================================

VI. Incompatible Adapters (ODI & NDIS3)

  Some older adapters have not had their ODI driver updated by the manufacturer
  and have become out of spec to the current requirements of ODI and NDIS3.
  The following list contains the adapter, the problem you may experience and
  a possible workaround.

  NE1000                  
  Problem:    Incompatible, obsolete drivers.
  solution:   None

  INTEL ETHER EXPRESS PRO  
  Problem:    Windows freezes at splash/intro screen
		  Windows freezes on re-entry after closing

  Solutions:  
	1.If running Windows for WorkGroups 3.11 configure with the ODI protocol
	2.Obtain the latest NDIS3 driver from Intel. 

  APPLE LOCALTALK
  Problem:   Incompatible, obsolete drivers.
  Solution:  Use an Apexx PCTALK adapter instead.

  TOPS/SITKA CARDS
  Problem:   Incompatible, obsolete drivers.
  solution:  Use an Apexx PCTALK adapter instead.

  SMC 8216
  Problem:   Can cause a Page Fault (Blank screen with flashing cursor) if
             the cable is disconnected from adapter during a file copy.
  Solution:  Obtain the latest NDIS3 drivers from SMC. ODI does not have
             this problem.

  IBM PCI,ISA 16/4 Token Ring
  Problem:   Can't configure adapter.  Adapter appears to be failing multicast
	     tests 
  Solution:  Check the Miramar Systems Web site for current information @
	     //http:/www.miramarsys.com  See "What's New" in Tech Support.
	     We should have a solution by Oct.-Nov.1997.
  
  IBM PCMCIA Ethernet
  Problem:   Can't configure adapter.  Adapter appears to be failing multicast
	     tests 
  Solution:  Check the Miramar Systems Web site for current information @
	     //http:/www.miramarsys.com  See "What's New" in Tech Support.
	     We should have a solution by Oct.-Nov.1997.

=============================================================================
VII. Performance Issues

  Access to an AppleTalk network over a Dial-Up adapter is many times slower
  than being directly connected to the LAN.  Please allow extra time to com-
  plete file transfers.

  Some network adapters drivers may not perform to your expectations.  Miramar 
  recommends that you always use the latest drivers available from the adapter
  manufacturer.

  Make sure that there are no conlicts with Memory, Interrupts, DMA etc... 
  as this can also cause poor performance.  The higher the CPU power the 
  better PC MACLAN will perform.
 
=============================================================================                    
VIII.Uninstalling from Windows 95

   To Uninstall from Windows 95:

   1.Throw away any shortcuts to PC MACLAN executables.
