NDIS 2.01 Driver with Other Networking Products

NDIS 2.01 Driver with Other Networking Products

The NDIS 2.01 driver is a 16-bit driver used by many DOS and OS/2 networking
products to gain access to the LAN.

The NDIS 2.01 driver for DOS and Windows (PCNTND.DOS) is located on the LAN
Disk in directory

\NDIS\DOS

.

The NDIS 2.01 driver for OS/2 (PCNTND.OS2) is located on the LAN Disk in
directory

\NDIS\OS2

.

NOTE

The HP NDIS 2.01 drivers are self-configuring, which means the driver will
automatically locate and read the HP Ethernet Family Adapter's configuration. Only
the DRIVERNAME and BUSTYPE parameters need to be present under the
[PCNTND] section in the PROTOCOL.INI file.
