3. ===[IMPORTANT NOTES (CAUTION)]===

      Incompatible Floppy Disk Drives (FDDs) with which FlashPath 
      cannot be used.

      The FlashPath cannot be used with a FDD which is connected 
      via a different interface from ordinary FDDs. 

      Unsupported FDDs include the following:

      1. An external FDD connected via a PC card (PCMCIA), or 
         USB/ serial/ parallel ports.

      2. A high recording capacity FDD such as a Imation SuperDisk
         (LS-120) 120MB/ 1.44MB floppy disk drive (they connect to 
         the PC through an IDE cable or parallel (printer) port, 
         rather than the standard floppy drive port).

      3. If you access the FlashPath when the "FlashPath Status
         Monitor" program is not activated (i.e. while its icon
         is not shown on the task bar) and then activate the
         program later, the display will not immediately reflect
         the current internal status of the FlashPath.

         This is because the "FlashPath Status Monitor" program
         starts operating the moment it detects the first access
         made after the FlashPath has been inserted in the FDD.
         Therefore, in order to make sure that the "FlashPath
         Status Monitor" reflects the internal status of the
         FlashPath, eject the FlashPath from the FDD, and then
         insert it again.
