===============================================================================


(1) OVERVIEW
============

SKFMW95.VXD is a Windows 95 32-bit driver for SK-NET FDDI MCA adapters.
It conforms with the NDIS 3.1 specification delivered with Windows 95.

This README file explains how to install the FDDI NDIS 3 driver
SKFMW95.VXD on a Windows 95 station.
***


(2) REQUIRED FILES
==================

To install the driver, you need the following files:

	From WINDOWS\WIN95 directory of Installation Diskette:

		SKFMW95.VXD	FDDI NDIS 3 driver
		NETSK_FM.INF	installation setup script
***


(3) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
=============================

Read the installation instructions in the adapter manual carefully. Follow
these instructions to install the adapter in your computer.


To install the driver software for your MCA adapter, the

	CONTROL PANEL / NETWORK / ADD NETWORK ADAPTER

installation facility of Windows 95 must be used. The system will not be able
to find and configure such an adapter automatically.

Perform the following steps:

Step 1. Put the SK-NET FDDI MCA adapter into the computer and start
	Windows 95.

Step 2:	Start NETWORK from the CONTROL PANEL.

Step 3:	Select ADD..., then ADAPTER. Click the HAVE DISK button.
	The system will ask for the manufacturer's installation disk.

Step 4:	Insert Installation Diskette into the floppy disk drive (e.g. A:) and
	enter the path to the required files:

		A:\WINDOWS\WIN95

	Then select the driver matching your adapter type.

Step 5:	To configure the driver options of the adapter, choose CONFIGURE.
	The adapter PROPERTIES / ADVANCED window allows you to set the
	options. A list of available driver options is given in chapter 4
	of this readme file.

	Note: If more than one SK-NET FDDI MCA adapter is installed in
	your system, the ADAPTER SLOT NUMBER must be configured.
***


(4) DRIVER OPTIONS
==================

The SKFMW95.VXD driver provides full SMT (FDDI Station Management)
support by a complete range of SMT parameter options. These parameters offer
enhanced SMT features such as Synchronous Bandwidth Allocation (SBA) and
End Station Support (ESS). For details on these parameters, refer to the
SMTDOCU.TXT documentation file on the installation diskette.

All other parameters the driver supports are described below.

SLOT NUMBER
Choose the appropriate slot where your adapter card resides.
***


(5) TROUBLESHOOTING
===================

If you encounter problems with your SK-NET FDDI MCA adapter
under Windows 95, please re-read carefully the instructions above
and the documentation supplied with the Windows 95 system.

If you do not find a solution, please send us a description of the problems
you have.

Contact SysKonnect support for further information (or refer to the SUPPORT.INF
file on the Installation Diskette).

(6) HISTORY
===========

v2.33
  - Some minor bug fixes in the FDDI Station Management (SMT).
v2.32 Rev. A
  - Fixed Dual Homing feature for DAS adapters: The driver sometimes required
    up to 50 seconds before re-inserting the station into the FDDI ring.
v2.32
  - Fixed lookahead length problems (OID_GEN_CURRENT_LOOKAHEAD) experienced
    with new NDIS Tester (NCT).
v2.31
  - Software or hardware failure detected by driver caused the driver to
    stop (endless software loop).
  - Sender could deadlock when network load was heavy.
  - Risk of missing receive frames due to receive overflow minimized by
    increasing the receive FIFO size.
v2.30
  - No longer writing a "Timeout" error log entry under heavy load.
  - Double receive buffers allow parallel execution of DMA and receive
    indication.
  - Reset mechanism; both "soft" (caused by protocol) and "hard" (caused by
    timeout watchdog).
v2.20
  - Fixes OID problems seen with the new NDIS tester.
