    be installed in a PCI bus master slot.

 o  Memory - 90 KB per installed NIC.

     create an installation diskette.

 3.  Insert the installation diskette in the drive.

 4. Use the OpenServer 5 custom command to install the
    driver from the installation diskette.

    user has a working knowledge of SCO Open Server 5 and is
    familiar with how to create and install driver software.
