A current overview of the supported operating systems is given in the general readme file on Diskette 1 (root directory).
Complete protocol drivers installation instructions are given in readme files on the Installation Diskettes. We recommend the use of the Readme Viewer interface for safe and comfortable information handling.
To improve access time, it is recommended to copy the Installation Diskettes to your computer's hard drive.
