Depending on your adapter, the Adaptec setup diskette provides drivers for Novell NetWare, Windows NT, LAN Manager, Windows for Work- groups, Windows 95, IBM OS/2 Warp, and more. Additional drivers are available directly from Adaptec or your operating system ven- dor. See the \readme.txt file for details.
