UPDATE.EXE will update all installed SPEED type devices with the drivers found in this package. Note: When new hardware is added Windows will try to find a driver for it. If a driver is not found for the new device, you are able to give the location of the driver you wish to use to the Found New Hardware Wizard. However if Windows does find a driver for the device already on the system, Windows will automatically install the most recent digitally signed driver it can find for your new hardware. If you wish to install a different driver (i.e. a more recent but unsigned driver) from the one installed for your device you will need to use UPDATE.EXE to update the devices. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Known issues in this release : ------------------------------ * None Driver Updates : ---------------- This drivers will be updated from time-to-time.
