                        3Com (R) Corporation
                   EtherDisk (R) Diskette for the
           3C90X EtherLink XL 10/100 / EtherLink XL NIC Family
                 Windows Installation Information

The interrupt and input/output (I/O) address for a PCI NIC are assigned
by the BIOS.  These resources can not be configured using the 3Com
Configuration/Diagnostic program. 
          
Windows 3.x or Windows for Workgroups (WFW)
-------------------------------------------
The 3Com AutoLink (TM) program can be used to configure the computer
in a NetWare DOS client environment.  After connecting to a server, be 
sure to run WSINSTALL for full Windows support. (Ask your network 
administrator for the location of this Novell installation utility.)

For non-NetWare environments, install the client software as specified by 
your network operating system vendor.  Windows 3.x and WFW have internal 
support for Microsoft networking environments.  Proceed to Windows to
install these network drivers.


Windows 95 and Windows 98
-------------------------
Proceed directly to Windows 95 or Windows 98.  Do not configure the NIC 
using the 3Com EtherDisk diskette.  The Windows 95 Plug and Play feature 
will complete the driver installation for Novell, Microsoft, and most
other network operating systems.


Windows NT
----------
Proceed directly to Windows NT.  Do not configure the NIC using the
3Com EtherDisk diskette. In Windows NT, use the network icon in the
control panel to install the network driver.
