ST3660A free installation software

Files containing the free hard disc installation software and a program for extracting them, Seamove, are written on the ST3660A drive at the factory. The installation software is a version of EZ-Drive™for Seagate. It provides a software solution for computers using DOS and some BIOS combinations that limit the hard disc capacity to 528 Mbytes. It allows the computer to access the ST3660A’s entire 544.8 Mbytes. Before you partition and format the drive, transfer the EZ-Drive files to a bootable diskette. Instructions for transferring the EZ-Drive files are on page 11 and in the README.EXE file on the drive.

Note. The EZ-Drive software is authorized for installation only with the drive on which it is shipped.
