This driver diskette contains driver directories for DOS, Windows NT and
NetWare. OS/2 driver is under ROOT directory.
A DOS driver installation file (INSTALL.EXE), which resides in the <DOS>
directory, can help you install the drivers by auto-updating the AUTOEXEC.BAT
& CONFIG.SYS files.

1. Working with ">1GB HDD support" under assorted operating systems
The following table indicates how to support >1GB HDD under
assorted operating systems by changing the settings: "Max DOS disk
Capacity" & "DOS 5 Support Enabled/Disabled". It also shows where
the installation of device drivers is a MUST under certain Operating
Systems.

* "OS/2 v2.x/3.0 + >1GB HDD" => Special care is needed to achieve this.
Specify <1GB capacity for the PRIMARY partition and leave the rest of
the HDD capacity as the EXTENDED partition. The procedure should work like
this:
1. During installation, specify your own installation partition and not
the PRE-DEFINED partition.
2. You can then create a partition of less than 1024MB.
3. Re-boot the system and install DC-3X0/8X0's OS/2 driver.
4. Re-boot and use FDISK to create an EXTENDED partition for the rest
of the hard disk.
