User's Manual Chapter 8

B-1
Introduction
Device drivers are software files that allow pieces of hardware to
communicate effectively with the notebook and the operating system. All such
specific drivers necessary have been preloaded for the various hardware units
that have been packaged with your system.
All the device drivers needed for your system are also available on the support
CD that shipped with your notebook.
The support CD contains drivers for:
! 3Mode – Japanese floppy disk drivers and utilities (In order to support 1.2
MB format floppy disks, a format popular in Japan, you need to install this
mode 3 floppy disk driver software.)
! Audio – software support for audio
! CD-ROM – software support for CD-ROM drive (also available from the
support floppy disk)
! PCMCIA – software support for PC-card drive
! Modem – software support for internal modem device
! VGA – software support for display
The support CD also holds a copy of the online manual for your notebook.
This is an online version of this user’s manual.
NOTE: If you encounter any problems using the online user's manual you can
install the HTML Help Update program (update.exe), also available on the
support CD. This will update your computer for optimal use of the user's
manual.
Support Floppy Disk
The support floppy disk included with your notebook holds some useful
software tools to reorganize your computer’s hard disk drive after you have
lost all data. In order to rebuild your notebook’s hard disk drive, you’ll need
this support floppy disk, as well as a set of DOS disks or a Windows startup
disk.
