Installing Edgeport Drivers
The installation instructions are for installing the Edgeport software from CD. If you are
installing from diskette and using Windows 95, 98, SE, ME, or 2000, when prompted for
the location of the drivers, specify your 3-1/2” floppy drive (usually a:). NT users will not
be prompted and will need to locate the driver by double-clicking on their floppy drive. In
either case, you will not need to specify a directory.
For Windows 95 Users

connecting the USB cable, if the Update Device Driver Wizard dialog does not appear,
