Asanté Installers for Power Macintoshes with PCI slot(s).
This diskette contains installers for both the AsantéFAST 10/100 PCI adapter card and the 10Mbps AsantéNIC-PCI adapter card. Ensure you use the correct installer for your card!
Please use the Installer, rather than dragging the drivers to and from the System Folder. The installer will automatically remove any old Asanté drivers before installing the newest one. Not using the Installer may result in both the old and new driver (with a different name) residing in the System Folder…this will lead to poor performance.
The two utilities, "Asanté TroubleShooter for PCI" and "Asanté ADLS for PCI", are contained in the folder named "Utility Folder". You may copy these two utilities to your hard disk before running them.
Quick-start directions:
• Install the adapter card in your Macintosh, following the instructions in your Installation Guide.
