groups, Windows 95, IBM OS/2 Warp, and more. Additional drivers
are available directly from Adaptec or your operating system ven-

Always use the latest driver version available for your adapter.

BBS, and CompuServe forum sites to provide enhanced perfor-
mance and new features. See Technical and Product Support on page ii.
