TandyLink Adapter (260-5601)    DRIVER 8530             Faxback Doc. # 9003

The TandyLink adapter with driver DRVR8530.COM dated 7/16/90 gives no
feedback to the user whether it fails or succeeds in the installation task.
This date of the driver is the only one that works with LANTastic.  Older
TandyLink drivers give feedback concerning success or failure of the
installation.  The driver included in the Tandy 1000TL/2 ROM should not be
used.

When installation parameters are changed, command line parameters must be
used to tell the driver what the new settings are.  These parameters are
documented below.

When using LANTastic, the DRVR8530 file should be installed in the network 
directory, usually C:\LANTASTI and the batch file STARTNET.BAT needs to be
edited to reflect the new settings if they have been changed.  If the
adapter is set at defaults, no editing is necessary.

All command line options are preceded by the "/" character.  Options may be
entered in any order.  The command line parameters are as follows:
