                              PATCH INSTRUCTIONS

    Errors have been reported by users of high-performance machines
    with the 3COM 3C501 network adapter card.  
    

    SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

        COMPAQ DeskPro 386/20
        COMPAQ DeskPro 386/20e
        COMPAQ DeskPro 386/25


    WHO SHOULD USE:

        This patch will be required by high-performance workstations
        using a 3C501 network adapter card.  Apparently the Portable
        386/20 is an exception to the rule.


    HOW TO USE:

        1) Make a backup copy of the file ETH.SYS.

        2) There are two batch files included in this patch; which you use
           depends on the version of 3COM software to be patched.

               Version 1.2       FIX_V12
               Version 1.3.1     FIX_V131

           In order to patch the ETH.SYS file, use one of the batch files
           listed above that has the patch locations already loaded on the
           command line.  If ETH.SYS is not in the default directory, you
           will need to specify the drive and/or path as follows:
    
           FIX_V1xx [Drive:][Path\]

        3) When the patch is successfully installed, you will receive the
           following messages:
