CHAPTER 4: Upgrading the Adapter’s Firmware

4. Upgrading the Adapter’s

Firmware (Windows 2000 Only)

As described at the start of 

Chapter 3

, if you want to use the USB

to IDE Adapter with a Windows 2000 computer, you need to
install the Adapter’s software (including its firmware-upgrade
program) on a Windows 98 computer with a USB port. Then
attach the Adapter to that USB port and take these steps:

1. Click on the Windows Start button, then drag the pointer

to Programs, then ScanLogic, then “cide26.bat” (the
upgrade program). Select this program.

2. The program will run in a DOS window. Follow the on-

screen instructions to update the Adapter’s firmware.

3. When the program is finished, close the DOS window.

4. Disconnect the Adapter and (if you won’t be using it with

the Windows 98 computer) uninstall its software.

Attach a storage device to your Adapter, plug it into the USB port
of your Windows 2000 computer, and reboot the computer, as
described in 

Chapter 5

. The Adapter should be autodetected and

operate normally. If not, call Black Box Technical Support for
assistance.
