   ==============
  The CardBus is 32-Bit PC Card which runs with better performance than
  16-Bit PC Card.

  The PCMPC200 supports the AutoSense, 100BaseTX Full Duplex,
  100BaseTx Half Duplex mode, 10BaseT Full Duplex mode, and
  10BaseT Half Duplex mode.

2. Notes on Setup
   ==============

  For Novell, Lan Manager & Packet Driver, first insert the "Drivers Disk"
  into drive A, and type INSTALL at the A drive command prompt.
  The Installation program will copy files to the destination directory and
  modify your related files e.g. CONFIG.SYS &   NET.CFG, automatically.

      C:\> A:
      A:\> INSTALL

  For Windows NT & Windows 95, use the "Network Setup"
  utility provided by windows system to install the PCMPC200
  Adapter to the system and system will load the drivers at start up time.

  After installation, simply reboot the machine to enable PCMPC200 CardBus
  PC Card.



3. Drivers Supported on this release of the Drivers Disk

4. Notes on using EMM386 or QEMM
   =============================

  If your computer's CONFIG.SYS file has the EMM386.EXE command line,
  please make sure the memory range D000-D7FF is excluded.
  Because the Card Services need this range to allocate resources for
  the adapter.

                   *** Example command line ***

            DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-D7FF
