PC, click
Start / Settings / Control Panel / System / Hardware / Device Manager
and then check the resource.
Please reserve a FREE IRQ & I/O Port address for your NDC card.

2. Reboot your PC in DOS and copy all files in the \Dos directory
on the driver CD-ROM to your harddisk. Then run the EUtil.exe
(or JUtil.exe).

3. Set the NDC ISA card to Non-PnP mode ans assign free
IRQ & I/O Port address for it.
Reboot your PC.

4. Under Win2K system, click
Start / Settings / Control Panel / Add/Remove Hardware
and finish the prompt instruction step by step.

Select "Add/Troubleshoot a device" and click Next.
