SysKonnect SK-98xx and SK-95xx Adapter families
This file contains
The driver sk98nd.dos is the NDIS2 driver for the Microsoft Network Client
for DOS for the SysKonnect SK-98xx and SK-95xx Adapter families.
The driver supports only the second generation (V2.0) of
SysKonnect SK-98xx and SK-95xx Adapter families
SK98ND.DOS the driver
OEMSETUP.INF installation skript
PROTOCOL.INI SAMPLE configuration file
Microsoft Network Client 3.0 for MS-DOS
When installing the Microsoft Network Client for DOS follow these steps
to install sk98nd.dos:
1. Start the installation of the Microsoft Network Client.
2. When you are prompted to select a network adapter, select
"Network adapter not shown on list below ...".
3. Enter the path where the files sk98nd.dos and
oemsetup.inf are located.
4. Select "SysKonnect SK-98xx and SK-95xx Adapter families".
5. Answer the questions in the following dialogs to best fit your needs.
6. When prompted if the listed options are correct, you should select
"Change Network Configuration".
7. Add the protocols that are needed for your network and configure them
to best fit your needs.
9. Return from the dialog and confirm that the listed options are
correct.
10. Finish the installation of the Microsoft Network Client.
11. If you have more than one network adapter you might want to change
the bus number and device number in the protocol.ini as described
in the next section.
After the installation of the driver, the file protocol.ini in your
Microsoft Network Client installation directory contains the following
lines:
[SK$sk98nd]
DriverName = sk98nd$
When you have more than one adapter supported by the driver in your system
you might want to specify which adapter should be used. There are two ways
to specify the adapter.
Bus and device number (optional)
BUSNUM = <busnum>
DEVNUM = <devnum>
With these parameters you can specify the network adapter the
driver should bind on.
The bus and device numbers are assigned by the BIOS at boot time.
Connection type (optional)
CONTYPE = <contype>
This parameter can be used to force link speed and duplex mode.
Using other values than AUTO turns off auto-negotiation and is not
recommended.
Possible values are:
AUTO
_100FD
_100HD
_10FD
_10HD
Check link mode (optional)
CHECKLINK = 1
When this parameter has been specified the driver uses the first
supported adapter in the system with a valid link. This parameter
will be ignored when BUSNUM and DEVNUM are used.
