Dear Customer, Thank you for choosing the Intel PIIX Bus Master IDE Drivers. This production release of the drivers provides support for Intel PCIsets that use the Intel 82371FB or 82371SB PIIX PCI Bus Master IDE Controllers. Each driver is supplied with a unique readme.txt file. A copy of the readme.txt file for Windows 95* has been previously extracted for your convenience. You should be aware that each driver only operates on Intel PCIset based platforms that use the 82371FB or 82371SB PIIX component. To check if your storage devices may work with the driver read the "STORAGE DEVICES SUPPORTED BY THE DRIVER" and "GENERAL RELEASE INFORMATION" sections of the README.TXT document. In general, to successfully install the driver, utilize Bus Master Capable devices in the system configuration; refer to the "EXAMPLES OF BUS MASTER CAPABLE DEVICES" section in this text for examples. PLEASE NOTE: IF YOUR HARD DRIVE IS NOT LISTED IN THE "README.TXT" FILE, DO NOT INSTALL THE DRIVER To install the drivers, follow the steps below: 1. For all drivers: execute the appropriate self-extracting archive. Windows 95 archive - bmide_95.exe Windows NT* archive - bmide_nt.exe IBM OS/2* archive - bmideos2.exe This will place the SETUP files in a subdirectory on your hard disk. 2.
