Manager” and under “Hard Disk Controllers”.

*** Important information for USB users ***

our USB devices do not support Windows 95 and

For USB users:

1. Make sure your ExDrive is powered on and the USB cable

is attached, then plug the USB cable into your computer.

2. The Windows 98 will find the new hardware when you

plug in the device at the first time, and it will ask you to

insert the driver diskette. Just put the floppy diskette into

the floppy disk drive.
