SYMPTOMS
========
When you use the HP Ethertwist PC Lan Adapter/16 Plus, you may receive an error
message (one of various error messages), but the adapter card functions
correctly.
CAUSE
=====
The HP Ethertwist PC Lan Adapter/16 Plus can operate in an I/O mapped mode with
no upper memory use (default), or in memory mapped mode with a 2 kilobyte upper
memory buffer.
The Windows 95 driver provided to Microsoft by Hewlett-Packard does not have an
option for I/O mapped mode.
RESOLUTION
==========
To stop the error messages from appearing, reset the adapter card to memory
mapped mode using the manufacturer-supplied Setup program (HPlanset.exe).
For instructions about how to use the adapter card Setup program, refer to the
documentation that came with the card, or contact the manufacturer.
MORE INFORMATION
================
If you use HPlanset.exe to configure the adapter card for I/O mode, Windows 95
notifies you that the card is not responding correctly, but the card functions
correctly anyway. As long as the card is in I/O mode, when you start the
computer, the warning message appears.
After the warning messages are generated, the driver then automatically sets the
adapter card to memory mapped mode for operation.
