Two configuration software programs are provided with the SSP-200/300: a Client Driver, and a card Enabler. Both of these programs are executed from DOS (before entering Windows) and allow operation of the SSP-200/300 in both the DOS and Windows 3.x environments. For optimal operation, however, the Client Driver is the preferred method of installation and configuration. The table below highlights the differences between these programs.
