are located

Important Notes:
----------------
- You HAVE TO removed any 3 mode VxDs which you have installed in the registry
before the installation of this mitac527.vxd dirver. Otherwise, there is
likely to have a conflict and the system will not work correctly.
- Two files, mitac527.vxd and ms3fd527.inf are needed in order to install them
into the Windows 95 system.
- When you using Dos Box Prompt, the response of the system with the 3 mode
capability seems to be slower than before without the feature. It might
take longer to complete the task in some cases. This is not a hang on.
Hopefully, these shortcomes will be work around by Microsoft before the
Windows 95 shipment time.
- The installation procedures for other models is exactly the same except
that you have to replace the driver, mitac527.vxd with other files that are
suitabe for your specific models, such as mitac???.vxd. Also the file,
ms3fd527.inf needs to be substituted with corresponding file, such as
ms3fd???.inf.
