- Windows NT does not provide drivers for the Columbia Data Products SST
- WD7000-FAAST and WD7000-FAAST2 ultra high-speed SCSI controller cards.
- However, Columbia Data has made available an upgraded BIOS called SST
- IV version 1.0 which has support for Windows NT and OS/2 2.x. This is
- an $85.00 upgrade and is only available through Columbia Data
- Products.
-
- If the BIOS on the card is 3.36 or greater, another alternative is to
- use the beta driver available for these cards found on Columbia Data's
- technical support BBS.
-
- The Columbia Data Products products included here are manufactured by
