double-click on the filename. SYSTEM.INI will load into the Windows Notepad.)

3.Find the line that reads:

device = *VDMAD

4 Change it to read:

device = mmvdmad.386

5.If you are in Windows, exit Windows and re-start. Otherwise, simply start Windows. You don't need to reboot the system. Just restart Windows. Windows will read the edited SYSTEM.INI file and load the new driver.

A previous version of MMVDMAD.386 was released prior to the release of Windows 3.1. This version is dated 8/28/90 and will only work with Windows

3.0.If you're using Windows 3.1, make sure you have the latest version of the driver, dated 4/29/92. If you don't have it, contact Kingston Technical Support.

OS/2 1.2 and 1.3

There are two drivers to allow OS/2 to work with the MCMaster in "Mapped" mode and busmastering SCSI adapters. Which one to use depends on what release of OS/2 you have.

OS/2 version 1.2, and releases of OS/2 version 1.3 with a copyright date previous to 1991, require the driver DISK02.SYS.

Releases of OS/2 with a copyright date of 1991 or later require the driver OEMXLAT.SYS. It is important that you use the correct driver.

OS/2 displays the copyright date in the first screen, before the Presentation Manager screen opens up. For either one of these drivers, you should either:

(a)install the correct driver before you install the MCMaster; or (b) press the

[o]key to disable the MCMaster, booting OS/2 on the original processor.
