INTRODUCTION
This file (README.DOC) describes the driver files on this disk. It
provides general information that became available after the User
Guide was printed.
Your Kingston Ethernet PC Card is shipped with DOS ODI driver, Packet
driver and DOS NDIS 2.01 driver on this diskette. The DOS ODI driver
and associated files are in the \DOSODI directory. The Packet Driver
is located under \PKTDRV directory. You can find the DOS NDIS 2.01
driver and associated files located in the \MSLANMAN.DOS and \NDIS
directories. There is an associated file called 'INSTALL.DOC' for
each driver. The INSTALL.DOC is a text file that explains how to
use and install the driver in a particular Network Operating System
environment. In some cases, the INSTALL.DOC also includes a
"Troubleshooting Guide" section that describes how to solve common
installation problems.
The INSTALL.DOC files provide you with valuable information. Please
refer to them if you encounter any installation problem.

COMPATIBILITY LISTS
This section includes two types of lists:
o KNOWN Compatibility - products that have been tested and
verified for compatibility
o OTHER PC Compatibility - products that HAVE NOT been tested,
but which should be compatible based on their architecture
KNOWN Compatibility
1. Using Card and Socket Services Provided by Kingston
The following hardware has been tested and verified with the Kingston
Ethernet PC Card using the Card and Socket services supplied on
the PC Card Ethernet Adapter Diskette.
Computer: Appropriate software:
---------------------- ------------------------------------------

and 4/25SL can also use POINTETH.SYS Enabler
Dell 320SLi and 325SLi Kingston Card/Socket Services (SS365SL.EXE);
can also use POINTETH.SYS Enabler
DEC PC325SL Kingston Card/Socket Services (SS365SL.EXE);
can also use POINTETH.SYS Enabler

can also use POINTETH.SYS Enabler
NEC UltraLite Versa Kingston Card/Socket Services (SS365SL.EXE);
can also use POINTETH.SYS Enabler

2. Using the System Vendor's Card and Socket Services
The following hardware has been tested and verified with the Kingston
Ethernet PC Card using the Card and Socket services provided by the
system's vendor. These systems DO NOT work with the Card and Socket
services on the Ethernet PC Card Diskette, so you SHOULD NOT have the
INSTALL program remove the existing Card Services and Socket Services
command lines from your CONFIG.SYS file.
Computer: Appropriate software:
---------------------- ------------------------------------------
IBM PS/2 E IBM's Card/Socket Services (shipped with PC)
(Energy Workstation)
IBM ThinkPad IBM's Card/Socket Services (shipped with PC)
(Models 720 and 720C)
3. Using Enabler Software Provided by Kingston
The following hardware has been tested and verified with the Kingston
Ethernet PC Card using one of the ENABLER programs supplied on the
Ethernet PC Card Diskette. These systems DO NOT work with the Card
and Socket services on the Ethernet PC Card Diskette, and therefore
require Enabler Installation.
Computer: Appropriate software:
---------------------- ------------------------------------------
Sharp PC-6700 SHARPETH.SYS direct Enabler only
Toshiba T3300SL TOSHETH.SYS direct Enabler only
PC Compatibility Information
Most computers use Intel's 82365SL ("PCIC") or DataBook's PCMCIA
controller and thus SHOULD work with the Kingston Ethernet PC Card
using CS.EXE Card Services and SS365SL.EXE (for Intel) or
SSDBOOK.EXE (for DataBook) Socket Services provided by Kingston.
RESTRICTIONS
Sharp PC-6700
The Sharp PC-6700 works only in the shared memory mode of the network
drivers. For the ODI driver's NET.CFG file, a MEM line is required.
For the NDIS driver's PROTOCOL.INI file, a RAMADDRESS line is
required.
The Sharp PC-6700 has Socket Services in its flash ROM BIOS memory.
This software can interfere with the operation of the network
drivers. To prevent this with the ODI driver, delete (or insert a
semicolon [";"] at the beginning of) the line in the ODI driver's
NET.CFG file that contains the keyword PCMCIA. To prevent this with
the NDIS driver, modify the NDIS driver's PROTOCOL.INI file to delete
(or insert a semicolon [";"] at the beginning of) the line in the
PROTOCOL.INI file that contains the keyword PCMCIA.
Grid 2260 Convertible
The Grid 2260 Convertible works only in the shared memory mode of the
network drivers. For the ODI driver's NET.CFG file, a MEM line is
required. For the NDIS driver's PROTOCOL.INI file, a RAMADDRESS line
is required.
IBM ThinkPad 350
When using the DOS NDIS driver on the IBM ThinkPad 350, you may
experience system hangs if I/O base address 0x300 is used. Since
this is the default I/O base address, you should edit the
PROTOCOL.INI file for the DOS NDIS driver and change the value of the
IOBASE keyword to any other available I/O base address, such as:
IOBASE = 0x320
and then save the modified PROTOCOL.INI file. If you are using the
POINTETH.SYS enabler, you also need to edit the CONFIG.SYS file so
that the enabler uses the new I/O address, such as:
DEVICE=C:\KNEPCM\POINTETH.SYS IO=320
NEC UltraLite VERSA
The available IRQ (Interrupt) resources on the NEC UltraLite VERSA
change unexpectedly. IRQs 3 and 5 are not always available, even
though the CSALLOC.EXE program may detect that they are available and
write these IRQs in the CSALLOC.INI file. For best results on this
notebook, select IRQ 10 or 11 for use by editing the NET.CFG file if
you are using the DOS ODI driver or by editing the PROTOCOL.INI file
if you are using the DOS NDIS driver. In the NET.CFG file, change
the value of the INT keyword, such as:
INT A
for interrupt 10 or
INT B
for interrupt 11, and then save the modified NET.CFG file.
In the PROTOCOL.INI file, change the value of the INTERRUPT keyword,
such as:
INTERRUPT = 10
for interrupt 10 or
INTERRUPT = 11
for interrupt 11, and then save the modified PROTOCOL.INI file.
If you are using the POINTETH.SYS enabler, you also need to edit the
CONFIG.SYS file so that the enabler uses the new interrupt setting,
such as:
DEVICE=C:\KNEPCM\POINTETH.SYS IRQ=A
for interrupt 10 or
DEVICE=C:\KNEPCM\POINTETH.SYS IRQ=B
for interrupt 11.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PC Card Driver "Beep" Errors
There are a few cases in which the Ethernet PC Card drivers cannot
display error messages, so they sound the alarm (beeper) on your
computer to indicate that something is wrong.
For the NDIS driver, beeps occur at initialization time only.
The driver beeps if Card Services is not present or the driver's
PROTOCOL.INI parameters do not match the Enabler's parameters
(when an Ethernet PCMCIA Card is present). If no card has been
inserted, then the NETADDRESS and INTERRUPT must be specified
in the PROTOCOL.INI file; otherwise the driver will beep.
For the ODI driver, beeps occur during driver initialization or
during card insertion handling. The following conditions cause
the DOS ODI driver to signal the error beep:
o Card Services error while attempting to map a memory window
to the buffer memory on the Ethernet PCMCIA Card
o Card Services error while attempting to allocate or release
I/O space for the card
o Card Services error while attempting to allocate an interrupt
for the card
o Card Services error while attempting to allocate or release
a memory window to the Flash memory on the card
o Card Services error while attempting to map a memory window
to the Flash memory on the card
o Card Services error while attempting to modify the attributes
of a memory window on the card
o Card Services error while attempting to request configuration
of the card
o ST-NIC Ethernet controller error
o Driver is unable to reset the ST-NIC Ethernet controller
o Buffer memory read/write test error
See the "Network Driver" section in the User Guide for more details.
