System Utilities

This chapter describes how to use the utilities and video drivers supplied with the CELEBIS Pentium

Afterwards, use these diskettes to run any of the utility programs and/or to install drivers.
When utilities and video driver diskettes have been purchased, refer to the supplied MS-DOS/Windows
