EtherPort 4.2
Dear EtherPort Customer,
Thank you for purchasing a Shiva EtherPort card from Eagle Technology.
This file explains critical information about the EtherPort 4.2
drivers. The installer on this disk will install the correct driver on
Macintosh computers that use the EtherPort boards including the Mac SE,
SE/30, Mac II family, IIsi and Mac LC.
Shiva is responsible for the engineering and development of the
EtherPort boards; however, they are being manufactured and sold by
Eagle Technology, a division of Anthem Electronics of San Jose,
California in a unique partnership arrangement. Eagle Technology now
handles all support of the EtherPort boards. Customers should contact
Eagle support at (800) 733-2453.
________________
IMPORTANT
Because Shiva makes use of the Apple Installer 3.2, if any anti-virus
software is running, such as Disinfectant, Virex or SAM, it is
essential to disable it before installing the EtherPort driver. FAILURE
TO DISABLE ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE MAY RESULT IN CORRUPTING THE SYSTEM
FILE. To avoid corrupting the system file, scan the disk with the
anti-virus software and then disable the software according to
manufacturer's instructions. Once the software has been disabled,
please proceed with the EtherPort driver installation as described in
the Users Guide.
_______________
IF THIS HAS BEEN SOFTWARE HAS BEEN DOWNLOADED
To create an EtherPort Installer disk from the EtherPort Installer.SEA
(self-extracting archive), EtherPort Installer. SIT (Stuff It) or
EtherPort Installer.PKG (AppleLink Package Format) file, please follow
these Installation instructions:
Initialize a floppy disk and name it: EtherPort Installer.
Drag the contents of the ``EtherPort Installer'' folder to the
``EtherPort Installer'' disk. Please note that it is not necessary to
place Macintosh system software on the ``EtherPort Installer'' disk.
Go to the next section to begin installing the Shiva software.
_______________
INSTALLATION INFORMATION
This software uses the Apple Installer version 3.2. Unlike previous
versions of the Installer, Installer version 3.2 allows you to install
onto your current startup disk. Installer version 3.2 will function on
an open, active hard drive.
Before installing the EtherPort drivers, quit out of all applications.
The Macintosh IIfx must have AppleTalk 56 installed on the system,
whether the user is running System 6 or System 7. Without AppleTalk 56,
the IIfx will crash when swapping from Built-in to EtherTalk in the
Network function of the Control Panel. Once the system is rebooted, the
change will be in effect and everything should work properly.
A version of the EtherPort driver with AppleTalk 56 is available by
calling the Shiva Bulletin board at (617) 621-0190. The installer has
been modified to update both the AppleTalk and EtherTalk drivers;
however, the actual EtherPort driver code has not changed.
_______________
COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION
The EtherPort II drivers on this disk are for use with the half length
Novell/Shiva EtherPort II card based on the National chip set. The
EtherPort II drivers on this disk are not compatible with the EtherPort
II cards based on the Intel controller chip.
To determine if the EtherPort II version 4.1 drivers are compatible
with your EtherPort II card, please use the following guidelines:
If version 3.25 of the EtherPort II file is in the System Folder on the
Macintosh, the EtherPort II(n) card is installed. Use the ``EtherPort
Installer'' on this disk to update the drivers for the EtherPort II(n)
card.
If an EtherPort driver is not currently installed on the Macintosh, the
EtherPort II(n) card can be easily recognized by examining it. The
EtherPort II(n) card is a 7-inch long green circuit board that has
either Novell or Shiva stamped on the board. Use the ``EP II,SE/30,SE
Installer'' on this disk to update the drivers for the EtherPort II(n)
card.
If version 2.50 of the EtherPort II file is in the System Folder on the
Macintosh, the EtherPort II(i) board is installed. Do not use this disk
to update the drivers for the EtherPort(i) card. See ``Upgrade
Information for EtherPort IIi Boards'' in this document for information
on options for updating the EtherPort II(i) board.
If an EtherPort driver is not currently installed on the Macintosh, the
EtherPort II(i) board can be easily recognized by examining it. The
EtherPort II(i) board is a 12-inch long blue circuit board that has
Kinetics stamped on it. Do not use this disk to update the drivers for
the EtherPort(i) card. See ``Upgrade Information for EtherPort IIi
Boards'' in this document for information on options for updating the
EtherPort II(i) board.
Shiva FastPath users should be aware that FastPath Manager 5.3 is
available from Shiva Technical Support Bulletin Board ((617) 621-0190),
America Online (Industry Connection Folder) and AppleLink (Shiva Third
Parties Folder). This version of the FastPath Manager is fully
supported in conjuction with the most current EtherTalk drivers. There
may be some problems when older versions of the FastPath Manager is in
use.
Shiva is aware there may be some difficulties with EtherTalk 2.2.2 and
AppleTalk 56 and some 3rd party monitors such as the Radius gray scale
and the new RasterOps monitor. The technical support staffs at both
Shiva and Eagle will do the best they can to help solve any problems
that may crop up.
_______________
UPGRADE INFORMATION FOR ETHERPORT IIi BOARDS
If the older, full length EtherPort IIi card is installed, please use
the separate EPIIi package to install the driver available on the Shiva
bulletin board. The EPIIi driver is a System 7 compatible driver that
will allow the NuBus Mac to run under System 7; however, virtual memory
and 32 bit cleanliness are NOT supported with this driver.
Two options exist for users of the EtherPort IIi Intel Board. The first
option is a software upgrade. The software for the EtherPort IIi Board
is available for free from the Shiva bulletin board: (617) 621-0190.
The second option is a hardware upgrade from IIi to II(n), the NuBus
Ethernet card with a National chip set.
To upgrade the hardware, call Eagle Technical Support at (800) 733-2453
for a Return Authorization number. The charge for an upgrade is $150.
Eagle will send an EtherPort IIn card as replacement for the EtherPort
IIi card. This applies to all EtherPort IIi cards, even those previous
to revision 2323. Please note: Boards returned to Eagle without a
Return Authorization number can not be accepted.

EtherPort 2.6
Dear EtherPort Customer
This file explains critical information about the EthrPort 2.6 drivers.
The installer on this disk will install the correct driver on Macintosh
computers that use the full size EtherPort II board with the Intel chip
set.
_____________________
IMPORTANT
This software is a PATCH VERSION ONLY. THERE MAY BE SOME PROBLEMS which
we have not uncovered yet.
If installation is taking place on a Macintosh running System 7, System
7 must have been installed cleanly to the hard drive. System 7 can not
have been installed on top of an older operating system.
Because Shiva makes use of the Apple Installer 3.2, if any anti-virus
software is running, such as Disinfectant, Virex or SAM, it is
essential to disable it before installing the EtherPort driver.
FAILURE TO DISABLE ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE MAY RESULT IN CORRUPTING THE
SYSTEM FILE. To avoid corrupting the system file, scan the disk with
the anti-virus software and then disable the software according to
manufacturer's instructions. Once the software has been disabled,
please proceed with the EtherPort driver installation as described in
