Introduction:

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



  Below are instructions for creating an SCO "custom" installation diskette

  containing the MDI device driver for Fast Ethernet network adapter family.

  MDI drivers are used with SCO's Open Server 5.0 Operating System.  Once the

  diskette is created, follow the SCO instructions for using the "custom" and

  "netconfig" utilities to install the driver.





Contents of the Subdirectory:

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



    fetsco5.a              The SCOUNIX 5.0.4 driver installation package in ASCII encoded format.

    fetsco5.txt            This file.





Installation:

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



       To begin, place the viavtcmdi.a file on a DOS formatted diskette.  fetsco5.a is

    an ASCII encoded, compressed, SCO UNIX diskette image file.  Place the

    diskette in drive A on a computer with SCO UNIX installed.  If you wish to

    use drive B, adjust the instructions below appropriately.



    1)Now enter the following commands at the UNIX prompt.  Remember, UNIX is case sensitive.

      doscp a:fetsco5.a fetsco5.a  (copies from DOS disk to current working directory)

      uudecode fetsco5.a         (decodes the ASCII file to binary VOL.000.000)



    2)Now place the 3.5" diskette you want to become the installation diskette 

      in drive A.  This should be a UNIX formatted, high density diskette.

      Enter the following command.  Again, if you wish to use drive B, adjust the

      instructions below appropriately.



      dd if=VOL.000.000 of=/dev/rfd0135ds18 (transfers disk image to diskette)



      The diskette is now ready to use with the SCO "custom" utility.



    3) Run netconfig ,and in Hardware select "Add new LAN adapter card" .

       It will find the card automatically. The driver will be set auto mode.





    4) The driver can support 5 mode:1.auto 2.100 full 3.100 half 4.10 full 5.10 half         

       If you want to change the driver mode,you must run netconfig,select the card 

       and run "Hareware"-"Modify hardware configuration"-"Advance option" to select 

       driver mode you want.After you change driver mode,you must link unix again 

       and reboot system.
