- -----------------------------------------
-
- Products:
-
- PC/X

-
- Installation:

- Non-intelligent boards are configured by hand-editing values in the
- Registry. This is necessary to create some special entries required for the
- Digiboard adapter. Information on this procedure is available in section
- 9.0 of the README.WRI file located in SYSTEM32 sub-directory.
-
- Primary Support:
-
- Primary engineering support for this device driver is provided by
- Microsoft. Microsoft will assist you in editing the Registry and using the
- device with Windows NT applications. If you suspect your adapter is not
- configured correctly or is malfunctioning contact Digiboard.
