Installing Software onto a
Native IDE Drive How you install software, such as programming tools or applications, onto a
native IDE drive depends on the hardware in your open controller system.
You may find it easiest to boot your open controller from a remote PC
through COM2, making the remote PC appear as a floppy drive on the open
controller, after which you can transfer software to the native IDE drive (see
Page 6-3). Table 6.A lists the various methods you can use to install
software onto the native IDE drive.
