ware update on the G60 S system.
Caution: Currently, the version number of the DIMAQ-IP software installed on a
system cannot be verified at the system; this bug will be remedied soon.
On existing G60 S systems, the version 1.0 system software will operate accept-
ably with both the version 1.023 DIMAQ-IP software and the version 1.2
DIMAQ-IP software; to avoid problems, update the version 1.022 or 1.023
DIMAQ-IP software to version 1.2, before updating the system software to ver-
sion 1.2. See "Installing or Updating the DIMAQ-IP Software" (page 8-7) for this
procedure.
Note: On G60 S systems using the version 1.0 software, a formatted MO diskette
is required for the preset and service data backup operation because the MO
drive was incapable of formatting a diskette. On systems using version 1.2 the
formatting of MO diskettes is supported.
