Installing the NDIS 2.01 Driver
The Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) 2.01 is a driver specification developed by Microsoft to offer a standard driver interface for adapter cards. AMD's NDIS 2.01 driver supports the following environments:
Microsoft LAN Manager 2.x Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1 Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11 IBM LAN Server 2.0, 3.x, 4.x SunSoft PC-NFS 5.x Artisoft LANtastic 6.0 Banyan VINES
AMD's NDIS 2.01 driver may be installed using the automated AMINSTAL utility or manually from the command line prompt for each specific environment. Both methods are described below.
To install a driver using the AMINSTAL Utility, follow the steps listed below:
1. Run the AMINSTAL Utility to configure your PCnet adapter card's I/O base address, IRQ channel, and DMA channel.
See the AMINSTAL Utility section for more information on configuring your PCnet adapter card.
Once you have completed the configuration of your PCnet adapter card
using AMINSTAL, go to step 2 below to continue.
2. Select the "Continue" button in the "Configuration" dialog box. The "Installation" dialog box will appear.
3. Select the desired PCnet adapter card by highlighting it in the top of the dialog box.
Note: If IBM LAN Manager, Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, SunSoft PC-NFS, etc., OEM installation procedures are used to install the NDIS 2.01 driver, then do not use AMINSTAL to install the NDIS 2.01 driver.
4. Highlight the "NDIS 2.01 driver" to install the driver. Change the default path if necessary. The default directory is:
C:\NDIS
5. Press the "Continue" button to complete the installation. AMINSTAL will copy the selected driver file into the specified directory, create a PROTOCOL.INI file in the specified directory, and copy a sample CONFIG.NET file into the specified directory.
The CONFIG.NET file contains the following:
DEVICE=<install path> PROTMAN.DOS /I:<install path> DEVICE=<install path> PCNTND.DOS
Note: PROTMAN.DOS is distributed by Microsoft, IBM, and other operating system companies.
6. Exit the AMINSTAL utility when the installation has been completed. The user may need to make modifications to the system files, using the AMD sample files as reference.
The installation of the NDIS 2.01 driver is now complete.
Support is provided for the Microsoft LAN Manager (Version 2.x) environment. The driver should be installed using the Microsoft LAN Manager Setup Utility.
Notes: 1) The hardware for the Microsoft LAN Manager environment can be configured to run as an OS/2 server, OS/2 workstation, basic MS-DOS workstation, or an enhanced MS-DOS workstation. Refer to your Microsoft LAN Manager documentation as needed.
2) The directory structure provided on the AMD NDIS 2.01 driver diskette has been setup for automatic OEM installation. The OEM Installation section of this manual provides more details regarding OEM driver installation. Also, more information can be found in the Microsoft LAN Manager Installation Guide.
The installation procedures described below assumes the Microsoft LAN Manager has already been installed. If not, refer to the Microsoft LAN Manager Installation Guide for installation instructions.
To install a driver using the Microsoft LAN Manager Setup Utility, follow the steps listed below:
1. Insert the AMD NDIS 2.01 driver diskette into the floppy drive.
Note:Two information files (pcntnd.nif and protocol.ini) will be used for driver installation. These files are located on the AMD NDIS 2.01 driver diskette.
2. Change to the LAN Manager subdirectory on your hard disk by typing:
cd C:\LANMAN
Then press <Enter>.
3. Next start the Microsoft LAN Manager Setup utility by typing:
setup
Then press <Enter>.
The following message will be displayed:
Loading Microsoft LAN Manager configuration ...
4. Hold down the <Alt> key and press "C" to access the "Configuration" drop down menu.
5. Use the up/down arrow keys to select "Network Drivers..." and then press <Enter>. This will open the Workstation Configuration window.
6. If you have an existing (old) PCnet Family Ethernet driver installed, use the tab key to select "Remove Config" and then
press <Enter>. This removes the existing PCnet driver.
7. Use the tab key to select "Add New Config" and then press <Enter>. This will open the Network Adapter Drivers window.
8. Use the tab key to select "Other Driver" and then press <Enter>.
9. Enter the disk drive letter (e.g., "A:")
where the AMD NDIS 2.01 driver diskette is located.
Note: No path is required since the AMD diskette is structured for the Microsoft LAN Manager OEM setup.
Use the tab key to select "OK" and then press <Enter>.
10. Use the up/down arrow keys to select "PCNet Family Ethernet Adapter." Next, use the tab key to select "OK" and then
press <Enter>.
Note: If you have older PCnet Family drivers installed, you will be asked if you want to "Overwrite?" Use the tab key to select "<Yes>" and then press <Enter>.
The following message will be displayed:
Copying drivers, please wait ...
Wait for the message to go away.
11. Use the up/down arrow keys to select the desired protocol, press the spacebar to select, and then use the tab key to select "OK."
Then press <Enter>. You will then be returned to the Workstation Configuration window.
12 Use the tab key to select "Save" and then press <Enter>. The following message will be displayed:
Saving Microsoft LAN Manager Configuration ...
Wait for the message to go away.
13 Hold down the <Alt> key and press "L" to access the "LAN Manager" drop down menu.
14. Use the up/down arrow keys to select "Exit Setup" and then press <Enter>. The following message will be displayed:
LAN Manager Configuration Complete
"OK" will be highlighted. Press <Enter>.
The installation of the NDIS 2.01 driver for Microsoft LAN Manager is now complete.
During installation, LAN Manager will automatically make modifications to the CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and PROTOCOL.INI
files. Below are sample files for a PCnet-ISA adapter card.
CONFIG.SYS DEVICE=C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\PROTMAN\PROTMAN.DOS /i:C:\LANMAN.DOS DEVICE=C:\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\PCNET\PCNTND.DOS
AUTOEXEC.BAT SET PATH=C:\LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG;%PATH% NET START WORKSTATION LOAD NETBEUI NET LOGON bill.gates
PROTOCOL.INI [PROTMAN] DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$ DYNAMIC = YES PRIORITY = NETBEUI
[NETBEUI_XIF] Drivername = netbeui$ SESSIONS = 6 NCBS = 12 BINDINGS = "PCNTND_NIF" LANABASE = 0
[PCNTND_NIF] ; AMD PCnet Ethernet Adapter ; DriverName = PCNTND$ IOAddress = 0x0300 Interrupt = 4 DMAChannel = 5
Note:For PCnet-ISA adapter cards, be sure the IOAddress, Interrupt, and the DMA Channel match the card's jumper settings. For other PCnet adapter cards, the user can leave out these keyword parameters.
To change the transmit and receive buffers, insert the following statements in the PROTOCOL.INI file (located in the PCnet Driver (PCNTND) directory):
RXBUFFERS = 4 TXBUFFERS = 4
To use the BUSTYPE keyword, remove the I/O Address and insert the BUSTYPE keyword in the PROTOCOL.INI file (located in the PCnet Driver (PCNTND) directory). For example, to designate the PCnet-32 adapter card and the VL bus, insert the following:
BUSTYPE = VESA
Support is provided for the Microsoft Windows for Workgroups (Version 3.1) environment.
Notes: 1) The format and procedure to install the NDIS drivers for Windows for Workgroups 3.1 is different from that of Windows for Workgroups 3.11. Refer to Section 6.4 for the procedure for Windows for Workgroups 3.11.
2) The directory structure provided on the AMD NDIS 2.01 driver diskette has been set up for automatic OEM installation.

The installation of the NDIS 2.01 driver for Windows for Workgroups is now complete.
To set the IRQ channel value for the PCnet-ISA adapter card, choose the "Network" icon to select the "Adapters" button. Then, choose the "AMD PCnet adapter card" to modify the card's settings. In the Setup dialog box, select (or enter) the IRQ (interrupt channel) desired to match the corresponding jumper setting on your PCnet-ISA adapter card.
Support is provided for the Microsoft Windows for Workgroups (Version 3.11) environment. Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11 supports both NDIS 2.01 and NDIS 3.x drivers. AMD provides both of these NDIS drivers.
Notes: 1) The format and procedure to install the NDIS drivers for Windows for Workgroups 3.11 is different from that of Windows for Workgroups 3.1. Refer to Section 6.3 for the procedure for Windows for Workgroups 3.1.
2) The directory structure provided on the AMD NDIS 2.01 driver diskette has been setup for automatic OEM installation. The OEM Installation section of this manual provides more details regarding OEM driver installation. Also, more information can be found in the Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11 User's Guide.
Follow the steps listed below:
1. Insert the AMD NDIS 2.01 driver diskette into the floppy drive.
