	     EtherDisk Diskette for the EtherLink Plus Adapter

			   System Resources



The EtherLink Plus adapter uses three system resources:

     - I/O address range
     - Interrupt level
     - DMA channel

The adapter's options are factory set with the following settings:

     - I/O base address 	300h
     - Interrupt level		3
     - DMA channel		1

Before you install the adapter, make sure that these settings do not conflict
with similar settings on other peripherals.

Listed below are commonly used peripherals and the adapter option settings
they might conflict with.  If any of these peripherals are installed in your
computer, check which resources they are using and make sure the EtherLink Plus
adapter options are not set to use the same resources.	Other peripherals,
not mentioned in these lists, might also cause conflicts.


NOTES:	The codes in parenthesis following a peripheral name indicates that the
	information applies only on those types of computers.

	PC    --  IBM PC
	XT    --  IBM PC/XT
	AT    --  IBM Personal Computer AT
	PS/2  --  IBM Personal System/2 models containing the Industry Standard
		  Architecture (ISA) bus
