This chapter contains detailed installation and configuration information for the EISA PC adapter driver operating in the Microsoft Windows NT environment. The Windows NT driver is available as an optional package for the EISA PC adapter.
Your workgroup EISA PC Driver disk contains all the files you need to install the driver. The drivers required by Windows NT version 3.x are located in the following directory:
