This installation procedure is specific only to the current version of the
driver and installation file.
NOTE:
The driver (HPT366.MPD) and installation file (HPT366.INF) must be
located on the same directory of the install floppy diskette.
Usually, when you plug the HPT366 Ultra DMA host adapter into your system and
boot up the Windows 95/98 system, the system will be able to detect the HPT366
Ultra DMA host Adapter automatically and ask you to install the driver for HPT366.
You can just follow the instructions promted by the system to install the
driver.
Otherwise, you can install the driver by the following steps:
1. Windows 95/98 must be installed on the system prior to installing the
driver.
2. Close any running applications.
3. Open "My Computer".
4. Double click on the "Control Panel" icon.
5. Double click on the "Add New Hardware" applet.
