Windows Millennium Driver Installation
Windows ME provides a complete "Plug and Play" System that
automatically recognizes and configures PLANEX FW-300TX.
Before installing the PLANEX FW-300TX adapter, Windows's PCMCIA
service must be installed and enabled. This service can be started
in the Control Panel.
Driver Installation Steps for Windows Millennium:
1) Insert PLANEX FW-300TX in one of the PCMCIA Slots and start
Windows Millennium.
2) The "Add New Hardware Wizard" dialog box appears. Select
"Specify the location of the driver (Advanced)", then click
the "Next" button.
3) Select "Specify a locations".
4) Insert the PLANEX FW-300TX driver diskette in the proper drive
(e.g. A:.) Type "X:\WINME" and click OK.
Note: X: means the drive that contains Planex FW-300TX driver,
such as floppy or CD-ROM.
5) The installation process copies all the required files to the
hard disk. Please wait for the process to finish.
6) Click "Finish" to complete the installation process and reboot
the machine.
Note:
When Windows ME and the Network is up and running, it is not
recommended to remove the PLANEX FW-300TX adapter from the
PCMCIA slot without telling the system first. Before you remove
the adapter, please follow these steps:
1) Double click on the My Computer icon, and then double click on
the Control Panel icon.

window appears.

device" message appears. Click OK.

If you do not follow these steps and just pull the adapter from
the PCMCIA slot, the system may hang and you have to reboot the
system.
