the item you want to download.
Depending on the item you selected, you may see either .zip (for
Windows) or .tgz (for Linux/FreeBSD) files to download.
Note: If using Winzip or another Windows utility to extract the Linux file,
use the .zip version instead of the .tgz version. Otherwise the files will not
be compatible with Linux.

To make a driver diskette
If you want to create a driver diskette, extract the driver files to a floppy in
step 9 above. Refer to the user manual for your operating system for more
details.
Updating the 3ware Driver and Firmware Under
Windows
You can update both the driver and the firmware under Windows, using the
utility 3wUpdate.exe. This utility is included with the driver files when you
download them.
If you only need to update the driver, you can either use the update utility as
described below, or you can update it through the Windows Device Manager,
as described under “Updating the 3ware Driver Under Windows XP” on
page 207.
When you use the update utility, you bypass the device driver screens that you
see when you update just the driver through Windows Device Manager.
