readme.txt Driver File Contents (Aiwa_TD-P10_Ext_Win2k.zip)

This driver was NOT made by AIWA. This is a modified version of the driver for 
Sony Superstation External Tape Drive by SONY. It should work for the Aiwa Bolt 
TD-P10 Data Streamer under Windows 2000 and hopefully Windows XP.

This package also contains the SCM Microsystems Parallel Port ATAPI Adapter Driver 
for Windows 2000 necessarry to use the device.

There is no support for this driver. I made it for my computer to work with the
tape drive. Do not contact nor Sony or Aiwa because this is not an official version.

You can, however, contact me to report if this driver worked for you. I'm just
curious if I really helped someone. I'm happy if I did. 	robertut@email.ro

Win2000 Driver Installation

This driver is for the Aiwa Bolt TD-P10 Data Streamer External parallel port tape 
drive under Windows 2000 Professional (Server is not supported). You must have a 
compatible version of Backup Exec installed prior to performing this update. Though 
the version supplied with the Superstation may work we highly recommend you purchase 
Veritas Backup Exec Desktop v4.5 or Desktop Pro v4.5 for Windows 2000 as they are 
officially compatible with Windows 2000. 
Though they are not officially compatible with Superstation they will work when 
using the driver upgrade. A trial version of Desktop Pro can be downloaded/ordered
from http://www.veritas.com/us/trialsoftware.html to download the trial version. Be 
sure you choose the version for Windows 2000 Professional as there is also one for 
Win9x, NT and ME. 

After installing Backup Exec follow the instructions below to download and complete the 
installation of the Aiwa Bolt TD-P10 Windows 2000 update.
