DOS-format EtherWORKS Turbo EISA driver diskette V2.26
  kali::pcdrivers:[ethernet.de425.interim]3xkit226.zip  (unzip with -d)

This driver diskette is an interim release, meaning it has not been 
released to manufacturing, but is fully supported.  See below for detail
of the changes to this diskette since the previous manufacturing release.

This DOS-format diskette contains the following drivers: NDIS2 (DOS and OS/2),
Novell NetWare, SCO MDI and LLI, and WFW 3.11 enhanced mode.

These diskette files will be available on ftp, www, and bbs in a few days.

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

V2.26 changes since V2.0
------------------------
  Removed Windows NT drivers and installation file.  The DC21x4 
  driver contained in the Microsoft Windows NT distribution should 
  be used for this adapter (choose DE425 from installation menu).

  Updated Windows for Workgroups NDIS3 driver. If another EtherWORKS 
  EISA or PCI adapter is being installed that requires a newer 
  version of the DC21x4 driver, this newer driver should be used 
  for this adapter.  Only one DC21x4 driver version may be used at 
  one time.

  Updated Novell drivers.

  SCO MDI driver: changed driver prefix from dcx to dcxe.  Removed  
  support for 100Mb (DE500 series) cards from driver.  Systems
  relying on the dcx driver to support both 10 and 10/100 cards
  must use new 10 and new 10/100 drivers at the same time.  The
  10/100 driver can be obtained from the DE500 driver diskette, or
  electronically from the DE500 release sites (see readme.txt).

  Updated SCO LLI driver.

  Updated NDIS2 drivers.

  Added DE43X NetWare DOS ODI driver for compatibility in a Windows
  for Workgroups installation. Updated oemsetup.inf file to reflect
  this.

  Updated EISA configuration file.
2.58DE434/435 (3xkit243)NETCAD::FERGUSONThu Mar 13 1997 22:5176
New software available for DE434 and DE435, March 1997.

DOS-format EtherWORKS Turbo PCI driver diskette V2.43
  kali::pcdrivers:[ethernet.de43x.interim]3xkit243.zip  (unzip with -d)

This driver diskette is an interim release, meaning it has not been 
released to manufacturing, but is fully supported.  See below for detail
of the changes to this diskette since the previous manufacturing release,
V2.43.  

This DOS-format diskette contains the following drivers: NDIS2 (DOS and OS/2),
Novell NetWare, SCO MDI and LLI, and WFW 3.11 enhanced mode.

These diskette files will be available on ftp, www, and bbs in a few days.

    2.2.8   fixed a DE450 BNC connector problem
    2.4.0   added DE500-BA support
    2.4.2   keyword changes
    2.4.3a  fixed a DE435 cable disconnect problem
    2.4.4   fixed DE500-BA receive overflow errata,
	      DE435 cable disconnect fix not in this version
    2.4.5   added DE435 cable disconnect fix

  SCO MDI driver: changed driver prefix from dcx to dcxe.  Removed
  support for 100Mb (DE500 series) cards from driver.  Systems
  relying on the dcx driver to support both 10 and 10/100 cards
  must use new 10 and new 10/100 drivers at the same time.  The
  10/100 driver can be obtained from the DE500 driver diskette, or
  electronically from the DE500 release sites (see readme.txt).

  Changed NDIS2 driver to V2.10.  V2.10 is the last revision of the
  DC21X4.DOS and DC21X4.OS2 to support the DE425, therefore that 
  revision is used on this diskette to maintain compatibility with 
  the DE425.

  Added DE425 NetWare DOS ODI driver for compatibility in a Windows
  for Workgroups installation. Updated oemsetup.inf file to reflect
  this.

V2.42 changes since V2.40
-------------------------
  Novell Server driver updated to v3.3 specification.  Support
  for Client32 for Windows 95 added.

  SCO LLI driver, which supports DE425/DE434/DE435/DE450/DE500, has
