EtherWORKS 3 TURBO Software Distribution Kit Release Notes
     ==========================================================
     V2.53                                          13-OCT-1997


    1. EtherWORKS 3 TURBO Windows NT driver V2.0 does NOT support 
       running the card in EISA mode. The EtherWORKS 3 card should 
       be left in ISA mode when running on EISA machines. There is 
       no performance degradation when the card is configured for 
       ISA mode. 

    2. EtherWORKS 3 TURBO Windows NT driver V2.0 does NOT support 
       Windows NT V3.1.

    3. If updating the EtherWORKS 3 NDIS 3.0 driver under Windows 
       NT 3.5 from a previous driver installation, do NOT use the 
       "Update" button under Network Settings.  Windows NT 3.5 and 
       3.51 currently only scans for OEMSETUP.INF files, not the 
       OEMSETNT.INF used on this installation diskette.  Microsoft 
       has informed Digital that this will be fixed in a future 
       revision of Windows NT.  Until then, perform the following 
       steps to update the driver:

        1. Remove all adapter instances. Highlight "DEC EtherWORKS 
           3 Adapter" and click the "Remove" button.  Repeat for 
           each Adapter instance.
        2. Click "OK" and reboot the machine when prompted.
        3. After rebooting, click "Add Adapter" and select the OEM 
           adapter installation option.  Place the driver diskette 
           in the floppy drive and reinstall the driver.
        4. Configure each adapter, click "OK" and reboot the machine 
           when prompted.

    4. If a kit is obtained from the Network BBS, Internet or WWW,
       unZIP the kit using the -d switch so that subdirectories are 
       properly created. Also make sure the kit is unZIPped to the 
       ROOT directory of a diskette so that the original directory 
       structure is maintained.

**************************************************
* DRIVER DISKETTE CHANGES SINCE PREVIOUS RELEASE *
**************************************************

                     [Changes from V2.52 to V2.53]

 o Added win95 installation file for loading the NDIS3 driver.
   Added NDIS3 driver to win95 directory.

                     
                     [Changes from V2.51 to V2.52]

 o New EtherWORKS 3 packet driver V1.05:

   - Make driver Y2K (year 2000 safe).
   - Fix bug when in Promiscuous mode.
   - Fix timing issue (upon initial loading of driver) with certain 
     PC's.

 o New CUSTOM.DST for SCO Unix MDI Device Driver.

   - fixes error in recieve routine that caused kernel panic and/or 
     TCP errors on fast or heavily loaded machines.             

 o New NDIS2 drivers (ewrk3.dos and ewrk3.os2)

   - Enhance driver to operate in true 32K and 64K modes.  
     Previously, the driver had operated in 2K mode regardless of 
     the adapter setting.  For most environments, this is the best 
     mode to use (most network buffers and least shared memory 
     footprint with no performace impact). For remote boot environ-
     ments, this caused a problem with warm boot operation, that 
     exhibited itself with local boot on ctl-alt-del. With this new
     version of the NDIS2 driver (v3.09), system will remote boot 
     on ctl-alt-del, if the remote boot rom is present and enabled.


                     [Changes from V2.5 to V2.51]

 o New EtherWORKS 3 MDI driver(V1.0.2) for SCO OpenServer 5. See
   \sco\readme.txt for further details.  

 o Newly certified EtherWORKS 3 NetWare DOS ODI Client and Server 
   drivers.
