SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS * **************************************************************************** This section describes system requirements for the PIIX Bus Master IDE Device Driver for Windows 95*. Refer to the Release Notes section of this document for additional information regarding this release. NOTE: This driver has been designed for and tested with Windows 95* only. This driver will only install on systems with Windows 95*. 1. The system must contain a supported Intel processor and chip set configuration: Chip set: Intel 430FX, 430HX, 430TX, 430VX and 440FX chip sets. Processor: Intel Pentium(R), Pentium(R) with MMX(TM) Technology, Pentium(R) Pro, and Pentium(R) II devices ONLY. 2. Ensure that a mouse is connected to the system. 3. One of the following versions of Windows 95* must be installed on the system prior to running utility program. Windows 95* 4.00.950 (Retail) Windows 95* 4.00.950a (OSR1) Windows 95* 4.00.950b (OSR2 without USB Supplement) Windows 95* 4.00.950b (OSR2.1 with USB Supplement) 4. This utility should only be used on desktop systems. The utility must not be executed on notebook or portable systems with or without dock. 5. It is assumed that the BIOS properly initialized the 82371xB IDE interface for Bus Master IDE operation. 6. There are no other non-82371xB IDE controllers (add-in IDE controller or sound card with IDE) enabled on the system. **************************************************************************** * 2. CONTENTS OF THE DISTRIBUTION PACKAGE * **************************************************************************** The Intel PIIX Bus Master IDE Driver for Windows 95*, Version 3.00 release package contains the following items: Date Time Size File ---- ---- ---- ---- 06/20/97 12:00a BMIDE_95.EXE 06/20/97 12:00a README.TXT 06/20/97 12:00a 29,958 PIIXDRV.Z 06/20/97 12:00a 45,312 SETUP.EXE 06/20/97 12:00a 69,700 SETUP.INS 06/20/97 12:00a 320,411 _INST32I.EX_ 06/20/97 12:00a 6,128 _SETUP.DLL 06/20/97 12:00a 179,689 _SETUP.LIB **************************************************************************** * 3. INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE * **************************************************************************** This installation procedure is specific only to the version of the driver and installation file included in this package. This subsection describes how to install the software on a system where Windows 95* is installed. NOTE: Record the location of the Windows 95* directory before installing the driver. 1. Check the System Requirements. Windows 95* must be fully installed and running on the system prior to running this software. 2. Close any running applications. 3. Remove references to installed real-mode IDE device drivers in the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files (especially any drivers that control ATAPI CD-ROM and special IDE features). Use the Notepad utility to do this. 4. The driver files are stored in an integrated application setup program. This program is a Windows 95* program that allows the driver files to be INSTALLED or DE-INSTALLED. Execute the driver setup program. Run SETUP.EXE. 4. Click 'Next' on Welcome Screen to read and agree to the license agreement. View the text file and choose File\Exit to close Notepad and continue. NOTE: If you click 'No', program will terminate. 5. Click 'Yes' if you agree to continue. NOTE: If you click 'No', the program will terminate. 6. Select 'INSTALL', to install the PIIX Bus Master IDE Device Driver when prompted to do so. NOTE: if the driver is currently installed on the system, SETUP will ask you whether or not you want to continue. Follow the prompts on the screen to Install the driver if desired. 7. Click 'OK' to restart the system when prompted to do so. 8. Follow the screen instructions and use default settings to complete the setup when Windows 95* is re-started. Upon re-start, Windows 95* will display that it has found an Intel PCI Bus Master IDE controller hardware and is installing hardware for it. If a "New Hardware Found" dialog box is displayed requesting the location of the drivers, use the mouse to click on the scrollbar and click on the <Windows 95* directory>\System\IOSubSys path: For example: a. Click on 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS\' b. Click 'OK'. 9 Select 'Yes', when prompted to re-start Windows 95*. NOTE: After installation, the following driver and related files are stored as listed. <Windows 95* directory>\System\IOSubSys\IDEATAPI.MPD <Windows 95* directory>\System\IOSubSys\PIIXVSD.VXD <Windows 95* directory>\INF\IDEATAPI.INF **************************************************************************** * 4. VERIFYING INSTALLATION OF THE DRIVER * **************************************************************************** This installation verification procedure is specific only to the version of the driver and installation file included in this package. This subsection describes how to verify installation of the software on a system where Windows 95* is installed. This installation verification procedure is specific only to the version of the driver and installation file included in this package. If the system does not operate reliably or fails to boot when the driver is installed, De-install the driver. Refer to the RELEASE NOTES section for more information.
