Windows 98 Installation

The EtherPower II 1000 driver for Windows 98 conforms to the
Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) 5.0 and can be
found in the "\Win98" directory on the SMC SuperDisk driver
diskette.
Note: For users of Windows 95 and Windows 95 OSR2 there is
an NDIS 3.1 driver provided on the SMC SuperDisk in the
"\Win95" directory. The installation procedure for
Windows 95 is slightly different than that described here.
Refer to the "Win95.txt" driver installation document on
the SMC SuperDisk for more information.

network cable.
3. Power on your PC and boot into Windows 98.
