		      PATHWORKS Drivers for
		    EtherWORKS TURBO PCI 10
			    and
		    EtherWORKS TURBO PCI 10 TP

****************************************
* GENERAL PATHWORKS DRIVER INFORMATION *
****************************************

There are currently two driver types for the EtherWORKS TURBO PCI 
10 adapter (DE450) supplied on this diskette that are compatible 
with PATHWORKS.  

The NDIS2 driver, which is written to the industry standard NDIS 
2.0.1, can be used.  This driver, and installation instructions for 
it, can be found in the NDIS2 subdirectory of this diskette.

The PATHWORKS native DLL driver, DLLDE450.EXE, is found in this
subdirectory.  The installation instructions are found in this
README.TXT.

*******************************************
* PATHWORKS NATIVE DLL DRIVER INFORMATION *
*******************************************

1.) Requires PATHWORKS V4.1 or greater.  Earlier version are not
    supported.

2.) Requires DNNETH.EXE to be V4.1.142 or greater (users with 
    previous versions of DNNETH.EXE will experience hangs when 
    connecting to network drives).

3.) Connecting to a PC that is running PERMIT requires the DECnet 
    address of the PC running PERMIT to be defined with MS-NET on 
    the PC that is attempting to establish a connection. Use the 
    NCP program to define the MS-NET parameter.

4.) PATHWORKS 4.1 users can automate the native datalink driver 
    installation by running NETSETUP.  Choose "EtherWORKS Native 
    Datalink" as the Ethernet Adapter type.  After NETSETUP 
    finishes, change the following line in STARTNET.BAT:

	%BOOT%\decnet\dlldepca.exe
		to
	%BOOT%\decnet\DLLDE450.exe


    Once this change is complete copy the DLLDE450.EXE driver from 
    the \PATHWRKS directory of this diskette to the \DECNET 
    directory on your hard drive.

5.) PATHWORKS 5.0 users should run PWSETUP from the PATHWORKS 
    server service directory.

     -  When prompted for the "Network Adapter Information", choose 
	'Native' from the top=left menu window, then select 
	'<Other Network Adapter>' from the network adapter menu.

     -  Enter 'A:\PATHWRKS\DLLDE450.EXE' for the 'Driver Name' 
	prompt.

     All the other procedures are same as EtherWORKS products.

6.) When running multiple protocols (LAT, LAD, etc.) with the 
    native datalink driver, make sure DECnet (DNNETH.EXE) is always 
    installed first.


7.) When loading the driver, the following command line switches 
    may be used:

    /MODE:1|2|3     Force Medium port to TP|AUI|BNC mode. If not 
		    specified, the medium port is autosensed.

    /I:path         Configure DECnet path.

    An example command line load (from the c:\> prompt) would be as 
    follows:

	C:\> DLLDE450.EXE /MODE:1 /I C:\DECNET

    The native driver may be loaded without any command line 
    parameters.  In this case, the driver will auto-detect the 
    adapter medium.
