Patch Installation Instructions: ************** IMPORTANT NOTE TO SMC ADAPTER USERS ******************** This patch does not work with the SMCMAC.DOS MAC-NDIS driver that ships with PC-NFS. You will need to obtain a copy of the newer SMC8000.DOS MAC-NDIS driver from SMC. *********************************************************************** This patch consists of one file: NFS-NDIS.SYS. On the system where PC-NFS is installed save the existing NFS-NDIS.SYS file and replace it with the new NFS-NDIS.SYS file. Select the drive where PC-NFS is installed. C: Save the original NFS-NDIS.SYS file. COPY \LANMAN\NFS-NDIS.SYS \LANMAN\NFS-NDIS.FCS Install the new NFS-NDIS.SYS file in the NFS directory. COPY A:\NFS-NDIS.SYS \LANMAN\NFS-NDIS.SYS All drive letter and directory name references are PC-NFS defaults. If you have installed PC-NFS or the patch file on a different drive or in a different directory substitute your drive and directory names in the example commands.
