INSTALL SEQUENCE for WIN95/98

1.  Copy the .mpd and .inf file to a floppy.
2.  Boot a 5530 system with a standard image of W95.
3.  Go into the Control Panel  (under Start-Settings).
4.  Select Add New Hardware.
5.     Pick Next for the first screen.
6.     Choose No you DON'T want Windows to find it, then pick next.
7.     Choose Hard Disk Controllers, then pick next.  
8.     Choose Have Disk and select the floppy (A;);
9.     Select Cyrix 5530 Bus Master PCI to IDE Controller.
10.    continue picking next and finish...

   Windows will copy the install file (inf) into the system.

11.  Go back to Control Panel.
12.  Select System.
13.  Pick the Device Manager tab.
14.  Expand the Hard Disk Controller item.
15.  Select Standard Dual IDE controller (or the like).
16.  Select Remove.

   Windows will now remove the default IDE controller.  It may tell you
   that you now need to reboot, if so say yes.  If it does not ask you,
   do a manual shutdown and reboot windows.

   Upon reboot Windows will say that it is locating new hw.  It will
   identify it as the 5530 IDE primary controller and try to locate the
   driver for it.  It will fail to locate it and prompt you to insert 
   the install disk.  Put the floppy back in and type a: into the path
   dialog box.  Windows will copy the driver.  Windows will then tell 
   you that you need to restart the system, do so.

   Upon the next reboot, Windows will again go thru the locating new
   hw, this time for the Secondary controller.  Only this time you do 
   not need to put in the floppy as it already has the driver.

   {NOTE!! in both of these times, especially for the secondary the
    machine may seem dead for ~ 30sec.  Just wait it will come back)

   Finally after the next reboot, the driver is installed.  You can 
   check by going back to the Control Panel-System Device Manager tab
   and looking under the Hard Disk Controllers item.  There will be a     		   "Cyrix 5530 Bus Master PCI to IDE Controller" entry here.  There will also be entries for the primary and secondary controllers.
