Installation Procedure - Plextor 4PS-2 Operation Manual

CHAPTER 9 ---- Software Installation
DOS/Windows 3.1 & 3.11
With your Plextor CD-ROM drive you will find a floppy disk labeled ''Plextor
Manager----DOS/Windows CD-ROM Device Driver and Utilities.'' You will need this
disk to properly install and operate your Plextor CD-ROM drive in a DOS/Windows
environment. Plextor Manager will also be useful when installing Windows 95 from
a CD-ROM on a new computer where a CD-ROM device driver has not yet been
installed. Windows 95 provides a standard 32-bit device driver, so once it has been
installed, you will disable the DOS device driver. (For installation with Windows 95,
stop here and refer to the separate manual.)
