- Introduction:
- =============
-
- Below are instructions for creating an SCO "custom" installation diskette
- containing the MDI device driver for Fast Ethernet network adapter family.
- MDI drivers are used with SCO's Open Server 5.0 Operating System. Once the
- diskette is created, follow the SCO instructions for using the "custom" and
- "netconfig" utilities to install the driver.

- Installation:
- =============
-
- To begin, place the fetsco5.vol file on a DOS formatted diskette. sco5.vol is a
- SCO UNIX diskette image file. Place the diskette in drive A on a computer with SCO
- UNIX installed. If you wish to use drive B, adjust the instructions below appropriately.
-
- 1)Now enter the following commands at the UNIX prompt. Remember, UNIX is case sensitive.
- doscp a:sco5.vol VOL.000.000 (copies from DOS disk to current working directory)
-
- 2)Now place the 3.5" diskette you want to become the installation diskette
- in drive A. This should be a UNIX formatted, high density diskette.
