The updates are designed to make PCMCIA adapter configuration easier under Windows NT. The file updates the Windows NT 4.0 registry to provide information about IRQ (Interrupt Request) lines that the operating system should always avoid when configuring PCMCIA adapters. Additional updates make the operating system better able to handle PCMCIA AT (Hard Disk) adapters. HOW TO USE: 1. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. The file that is downloaded is a self-extracting executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above. 2. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to unpack the files. The number of files to be created and total file size is displayed. You will be given the chance to specify the target directory for the files, or default to the download directory. 3. After the files have been created, you may delete the self-extracting file downloaded in step 1. 4. For installation instructions, refer to README.TXT. Copyright 1997, Compaq Computer Corporation.
