			Windows 3.1 & DOS

Copy the extracted upgrade files onto a floppy:
  sspio103.hex
  up304.bat
  upg4s.exe

Create a DOS boot floppy disk and edit the Config.sys file to include an ASPI manager for the SCSI card so this loades when the system is in DOS mode.
For Windows 95/98/Me use a startup floppy disk to boot your system into DOS and select CD-ROM support so that the generic ASPI drivers are loaded.

PROCEDURE
1. Set the SCSI ID on the drive to ID=0
2. Insert the boot or startup floppy and turn on the PC
3. Make sure there is no disc in the drive unit  before the  firmware upgrade is executed.
4. Insert the floppy containing the upgrade files and execute the UP304.BAT file.
5. The current version number of the firmware will be shown and the new firmware will be uploaded.
6. When the DOS prompt returns reboot the computer by powering OFF then ON.

Do not turn OFF the PC while upgrade is executed or the firmware upgrade will fail. Retry upgrade procedure from 4 through 6 if the firmware upgrade is fails.
Apply power cycle (OFF/ON) if the firmware upgrade fails.

IMPORTANT:
The upgrade will not function and permanent failure of the drive could occur unless the drive is connected as per point 1.
