Operating Systems Supported
This software runs in Windows 95, and Windows 98.
Windows 95 must actually be OSR2.1 version 1214, which contains the USB supplement and QFE. Each vendor who purchases the USB Smart Cable from In- System Design must execute an agreement with Microsoft in order to distribute the USB supplement. Microsoft may license the vendor to distribute the following files to update Windows 95 software:
1.OEMUSB.EXE version 4.03.1214,
2.DETROITR.EXE,
3.USBUPD1.EXE version 4.03.1214.
To execute a distribution agreement with Microsoft, contact Stephanie Selden at Microsoft, email sselden@microsoft.com.
Note: As of August 1998, Microsoft is no longer licensing the OSR2.1 supplement.
Power Management
The USB Smart Cable supports power management on the PC if its operating system supports the specific power management feature. The USB Smart Cable supports suspend and resume functions in all supported operating systems.
Note that OSR2.1 supports suspend and resume func- tions but there is no USB support in OSR2.1 for “0 volt suspend” in which case some PCs cut the power upon suspending. Windows 98 does support “0 volt suspend.”
