(CPLD). In certain cases, this device might need to be updated. This can be done
using the provided utility called Matrox Flash CPLD.
Do not execute this utility unless you have been advised by Matrox technical
support to do so. Running this utility unnecessarily could damage your auxiliary
I/O interface.
This utility should be run from a DOS-compatible operating system. If you have
purchased the Matrox 4Sight-II integrated unit, FreeDOS is included on your hard
