Creating the Installation Diskette

	All driver files on the SMART Modular Technologies website with
	the .EXE file extension are self extracting compressed file. To
	extract the updated drivers place a blank 3.5" floppy diskette
	in the A: drive. Locate V566iW9x.EXE on your system's hard drive
	and RUN the file, this will extract the contents (drivers) to 
	the floppy disk, creating an installation disk.

	After extracting the driver, it is recommended that you take a
	few moments to thoroughly review the README.TXT file which will
	be on the newly created installation disk.

	Note:  Do Not copy the original download file to the disk in the
	A: drive. Attempting to extract the drivers onto the same disk
	in the A: drive, which also contains the downloaded file, will
	result in a "Not enough disk Space" error.


Updating the Modem Drivers

	The modem drivers are easily updated from within the Win 95/98
	"Device Manager". In the Device Manager list, click on the "+"
	(plus), next to the Modem icon. This will bring up the list of
	currently installed modems by name ie; "Rapid Transit 56K ISA
 	Modem" or "56K V90 ISA Modem". Click on the modem which will 
	receive the update, and then click the "Properties" button.  

	In the "Modem Properties" click the "Driver" tab followed by 
	clicking on the "Update Driver" button.  Follow the prompts from
	Windows as it searches for the new driver. 

	"Control Panel"--->"System"--->"Device Manager"--->"Modems"--->
								      |
	<---"Driver"<---"Properties"<---"Rapid Transit 56K Modem"<-----
	|
	--->"Update Driver"
											 
	Note: By default, some versions of Windows 95 begin the search
	for new drivers in the C:\Windows\INF directory on the hard 
	drive or on the  \Win95 of the Windows 95 CDROM. Searching in 
	these locations will cause Windows to post the report
	"...drivers for the device were not found in the specified 
	location...". This message can be, and is often misinterpreted,
	leading many into believing the installation has failed. However
	the installation did not fail, Windows simply starts it's 
	search looking in the wrong drive and directory location.  

	When Windows prompts that it will "....search for the updated 
	drivers in the specified location", make sure that the 
	specified location is the Installation Diskette in the A: drive
	Or, if the drivers were extracted to a directory which is 
	located located on the hard drive, when Windows prompts it will
	search for the drivers, be sure to specify the location of the
	drivers on the hard drive.  


Should you have problems installing the updated drivers....

	The most common problem which causes the updated drivers not to
	install properly, are the presence of the previous or OLD 
	drivers on the system.  This is caused by the method used to 
	install the modem for the first time.  If the NEW drivers do not
	install properly through the Windows "Update Drivers" tool. 
	Following, in sequence, the steps below generally will allow 
	the NEW drivers to install properly on most systems.

1)	Prepare a blank diskette and place it in the floppy disk drive
	(A:\ drive)
2)	Run the V566iW9x.EXE file, the drivers will extract to the disk
	in the A:\ drive, this will create an install disk.
3)	From within the Win 95/98 "Device Manager" click the " + " 
	sign next the icon for "Modems", then click once (highlight) on
	the Rapid Transit 56K Modem and click the "Remove" button to 
	delete the current installation of the modem from the System's
 	Registry.
4)	Use the Windows "Files and Folders" search tool to locate and 
	delete copies of the modem's .INF files from the 
	C:\Windows\INF\Other directories. The names of the file to look
	for are:  LTMODEM.INF and  LTWAVE.INF

	In some systems running Win 95b, Win 95c and Win 98, Windows may
	change the file names to LTLTMODEM.INF and  LTLTWAVE.INF.
	
	LTMODEM.INF (LTLTMODEM.INF)	LTWAVE.INF (LTLTWAVE.INF)
	LTMODEM.VXD			LTDSVD.DLL
	LTCOM.VXD			LTVCD.VXD		
	
	IMPORTANT NOTE: In some later systems, such as those offered by
	Quantex, the driver files may have been renamed L56419X.INF and
	L56419XW.INF The drivers are located in the C:\Windows\INF 
	directory, with additional (Hidden) copies in the 
	C:\Windows\System directory. If these files are present, copy
	and place them into a temporary directory or onto a diskette 
	for back-up purposes. By re-locating or removing these files 
	from the C:\Windows\INF and C:\Windows\System directories, 
	Windows will be able to install the new drivers.

5)	Once again, using the Windows "Files and Folders" search tool,
	locate and delete the files, LTMODEM.VXD, LTCOM.VXD, LTVCD.VXD
	and LTDSVD.DLL files. These are located in the 
	C:\Windows\System directory.  
6)	Check for and any additional copies of the INF, VxD and DLL 
	files that are still present on the system. Several PC 
	manufacturers that include modems in their system, typically
	will place copies of the modem's driver files in a hidden 
	directory. Most commonly this is the C:\Windows\Options\CABS 
	directory. You should run a complete system search to locate
	any copies of the old drivers.
7)	Once the OLD driver files have been deleted from the system.
	Reboot the system and allow Windows to detect the modem as 
	"New Hardware". Complete the installation of the modem using
	the installation disk you created.
