- The MMM+ is OEM-installation in the new Mxx and Axx-series Aptivas
- from IBM.
- Initial usage indicated problems, which were quickly addressed by
- the IBM MWave Team and cured with the release of new drivers.
- You can read about the various MWave devices on the "Unofficial
- MWave Home Page": http://watson.mbb/sfu.ca/
- You can also read the IBM Announcement Letter for the MMM+ through
- IBM PC Division's URL: http://www.pc.ibm.com/options/
- OR: Get the Announcement Letter by calling IBM's FaxBack Service
- (1-800-IBM-4FAX) and requesting document number 196007 (technical
- information via FaxBack 1-800-427-3395).
