=== CMD IDE Windows 95/98 Driver Update Web Package 9/23/99 ===
     
--- Overview ---
     
The CMD IDE driver provides support for the IDE controller used in 
the HP full docking system (part number F1477A).
     
This package provides a way to install the correct Windows 95/98 
IDE driver for docking stations manufactured after approximately 
May 1999.
     
If the correct IDE driver is not installed, you may see these 
symptoms: being prompted for IDE driver install during initial 
dock setup, getting a blue screen message about drivers running in 
MS-DOS compatibility mode, and yellow error indications in Device 
Manager under hard disk controllers.
     
This problem affects the internal IDE controller as well as the 
IDE controller in the docking station. Therefore, the problem 
should be corrected even if IDE devices in full dock will not be 
used.
     
If your computer has the standard OmniBook Windows 95 or 98 
software load, follow the instructions under "Installing the 
Update" below. If it does not use the standard OmniBook load, then 
please first read "Technical Notes" below.
     
     
--- Installing the Update ---
     
There are two general cases corresponding to whether the unit has 
been docked and already encountered the problem described above or 
whether this is being taken as a preventative measure.
     
>>If you have already encountered the problem:
     
1. Download this package to the computer's hard disk.
     
2. Run UPDATE.BAT from the directory containing this package.
     
3. Dock the computer. You must do this before running SETUP.EXE.
     
4. Run SETUP.EXE from the C:\OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS\DOCKING\IDE
   directory.
     
5. Follow the prompts to update the CMD driver and restart the
   computer. During the restart, the correct CMD IDE driver will 
   be installed.
     
>>If you have NOT yet encountered the problem:
     
1. Download this package to the computer's hard disk.
     
2. Run UPDATE.BAT from the directory containing this package.
     
3. Dock the computer. The correct CMD IDE driver will be
   installed.
     
     
--- Technical Notes ---
     
1. UPDATE.BAT copies files to directories as listed here. If
   directories do not exist, they are created. The value of 
   environment variable %windir% is typically c:\windows.
     
csa64xx.mpd --> %windir%\options\cabs 
cmdide.vxd --> %windir%\options\cabs 
cmdide.dll --> %windir%\options\cabs 
cmddma.inf --> %windir%\options\cabs
     
cmddma.inf --> %windir%\inf
     
csa64xx.mpd --> c:\omnibook\drivers\docking\ide 
cmdide.vxd --> c:\omnibook\drivers\docking\ide 
cmdide.dll --> c:\omnibook\drivers\docking\ide 
cmddma.inf --> c:\omnibook\drivers\docking\ide
readme.cmd --> c:\omnibook\drivers\docking\ide\readme.txt 
setup.exe  --> c:\omnibook\drivers\docking\ide
setup.txt  --> c:\omnibook\drivers\docking\ide
     
2. In the standard OmniBook load, when the unit is docked the
   cmddma.inf file in %windir%\inf is used and the drivers are 
   automatically installed from %windir%\options\cabs.
     
3. If the standard OmniBook load is not being used, then there are
   two cases to consider.
     
a. If problem has already been encountered, it is recommended to
   follow the instructions under Usage. However, this may create 
   unwanted directories. An alternative is:
     
- Download this package to the unit's hard disk.
     
- Dock the unit. This must be done before executing SETUP.EXE.
     
- Execute SETUP.EXE from the download directory.
     
b. If problem has not yet been encountered, then the files from
   the update package should replace the corresponding files on 
   the disk. Remember that windows\inf is a hidden directory. 
   Once this is done, if the unit is subsequently docked to one 
   of the new docking stations, the correct CMD driver will be 
   automatically loaded.
