to continue.

create the driver diskette that you need.
Note that there are both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers available for Windows.
Be sure to select the correct one.
5 When the confirm message appears, insert a blank diskette into a floppy
drive and click the Yes button to begin the process.
To copy the driver to a USB drive
