NDC Instant-Link Ethernet PCMCIA Adapter (ND51XX) Packet Driver for NCSA PC/TCP Installation ================================================= PRE-INSTALLATION Before installing the NOS or network applications, first run NDCONF1 to configure and diagnose the Instant-Link adapter(s). We recommend you to select "Update CONFIG.SYS" in the "Configuration Menu" before exiting NDCONF1. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 1) Make sure you have the correct version of NCSA Telnet for the PC. You need version 2.3 or later to support the packet driver interface. 2) Install the NCSA software onto your system. Please refer to the NCSA documentation for detailed instructions. 3) Load the NE2000 Packet Driver "NE2000PK.COM" in the \PACKET directory of Instant-Link Setup diskette: NE2000 Packet Driver Basic Syntax: NE2000PK [IRQ] [IO_BASE] where: This specifies the software interrupt (IRQ) where you'll load the packet driver. It must be in the range 0x60 to 0x80. The PC/TCP kernel, by default, is loaded at interrupt 0x61 (so don't load the packet driver there!) [IRQ] This specifies the hardware interrupt (IRQ) of your card. [IO_BASE] This specifies the I/O address of your card. Following is an example to load the NE2000 packet driver using software interrupt vector 0x60 for NE2000 compatible adapter with IRQ=3, IO_BASE=0x300. NE2000PK 0x60 3 0x300 4) At this point you are ready to run NCSA applications (e.g., 'ftp', 'telnet', etc.).
