Windows NT 4.0
Note:
Previous versions of SoHard ARCNET-NT (driver versions less than
V04.00)
drivers must be removed from your system, before installing the new
driver!!
You can remove previous drivers by removing the registry path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\farc

When you are asked for the bustype of the adapter (only
20020/20022/20020C),
you should choose the bustype (ISA or PCI) and busnumber (almost 0),
where
your adapter is located in your system.
Do NOT select other bustypes!
If a node-id switch is present on the adapter (present on some
90C66/90C165-adapters),
it should be deactivated or set to 0, if using the 90C66-driver,
otherwise
the adapter is possibly not properly recognized by the driver.
The ARCNET-adapter will appear in the network-adapter listbox. By clicking on Properties... you can change the settings of the selected driver.
Note: The system must be shut down and restarted after installation!
