- You need to purchase the off the shelf version of DESKMATE. The reason is that
- the BIOS impregnated DESK stuff is hardcoded to look in the BIOS. If you
- simply copy the files from the BIOS to a disk, it will not work.
-
- You can obtain an off the shelf version at 50% off if you bring in the cover of
- your current DESKMATE manual.
