Installing Drivers
This section details the Ultra100 TX2 driver installation procedure when used with
various operating systems.
If you have purchased an Ultra100 TX2 for your existing PC, you will need to install
the appropriate driver for your current operating system.
If you own a PC with an existing Ultra100 TX2 card, drivers were already installed
with the system. You would only need to re-install drivers if re-installing an operating
system or installing an updated driver.
