file have the following meanings:
acr
The Accelerated Contention Resolution parameter. This should be set
to 2 for MS OS/2 servers only. This affects the performance of the
adapter under heavy load. Setting the value to 2 for workstations may
adversely affect the performance of the entire network.

Identifies the device driver name. The base portion of the filename,
plus a digit when more than one PureData PDI90211 or PDuC90211
adapter is installed, is the drivername. The drivername is ncrwve$
for the first adapter, ncrwve2$ for the second, and so on.
iobase
Indicates the base I/O address for the network adapter. The value
specified must match the jumper settings on the adapter.
