OEMSETUP Supplement

If you completed the installation instructions without receiving the error "OEMSETUP.INF file required", you do not need to review this supplement.

This supplement contains information on acquiring the Racore OEMSETUP.INF file. The OEMSETUP.INF file is required to install third party network adapters such as the Racore 16/4 Mbit and 4 Mbit Token-Ring cards.

The OEMSETUP.INF file can be obtained from Racore by downloading it from Racore's BBS, (801) 973-4228, or by calling Racore's Technical Support Department, (801) 973-9779. After obtaining this file, copy it to the root directory of your Racore Driver Disk that accompanied your network adapter.
