It's very easy. You need Windows for Workgroups, though; the earlier versions have no support for NICs at all. In WfWg, 3.1 or 3.11, just go into Setup, add a network card, let it scan for new cards, then when it says it's found one, or if it says it can't find one but you can manually add one, click "have disk" and browse to the folder with the .INF file in it. That's about it. You may have to manually assign resources, but that's all. (This is from nearly 20Y old memories, so I can't 100% swear to it, but that's the outline.) -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/liamproven Email: [email protected] • GMail/GoogleTalk/Orkut: [email protected] Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 • Fax: + 44 870-9151419 AOL/AIM/iChat/Yahoo/Skype: liamproven • LiveJournal/Twitter: lproven MSN: [email protected] • ICQ: 73187508 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
