   The diagnostic program, DIAG.EXE, can be used to configure the hardware
   and test/diagnose the conditions of your card.  When conflicts happen
   between the Jumperless Ethernet Card and other cards, you need to run
   this program to do the necessary modification.

   It is also possible to configure an adapter card with the DIAG program
   from the DOS command-line.  This is more convenient to you to prepare
   and configure hardware arguments with just one simple command or a batch
   file.  For more information on using menu-driven DIAG, see the related
   manual that accompanies with your card.

   FOLLOWING ARE THE THINGS YOU NEED TO TAKE NOTE OF BEFORE USING COMMAND
   LINE OPTIONS:

      1) It is strongly recommended that you run this program without any
         driver loaded.  Not doing so may cause the program to operate im-
         properly, or cause your system to hang up.
      2) If you have multiple cards on the system, you can use the menu mode
         of DIAG to configure your cards.  Using command mode can configure
         one card only.
      3) DIAG.EXE will NOT check whether the user's command conflicts with
         the system environment.


******************
Syntax of DIAG.EXE
******************

   1. The following lists the all the command options of DIAG.EXE:

        /?       Display help screen
        /D       Display hardware current status
        /A       Set hardware automatically
        /N       Change to NE2000 compatible
        /S       Change to Shared memory mode
        /Pxxx    Change the I/O port address
        /Ixx     Change the interrupt number
        /Mxxxx   Change the Boot ROM address
        /T       Change the connector type to TP
        /B       Change the connector type to BNC
        /U       Change the connector type to AUI
        /Cx      Change to compatible or incompatible (CY or CN)

      Note: The available options may differ by the types of the cards.
            See the manual coming with your card for more information.

   2. Take the following examples for your reference.

      1) If you want to display help, type as follows at the DOS prompt:

                DIAG /?                 [Enter]

      2) You can type as follows to see your current hardware settings:

                DIAG /D                 [Enter]

      3) If you want to set up your hardware automatically, type:

                DIAG /A                 [Enter]

         Note: The auto configuration function may not work properly under
               the following circumstance:
                 a) if non-standard peripherals, such as SCSI cards, are
                    installed.
                 b) if some devices (mouse/modem) will be installed (with
                    a driver) in the future.

      4) If you want to change your I/O port address to 240h, IRQ to 5, and
         Boot ROM address to D000, type:

                DIAG /P240 /I5 /MD000   [Enter]

         Note: 1. You can use /M0 to disable ROM.
               2. You have to cold start your PC after resetting the Boot
                  ROM address.

      5) You can change the connector type setting by typing:

                DIAG /B                 [Enter]

         to set your connector type to BNC.

      6) If your PC is fully timing-compatible with the IBM PC/AT bus, type:

                DIAG /CY

         otherwise, type:

                DIAG /CN
