A-10 Release Notes
You can obtain a patch to fix the Windows processor identification once
Microsoft releases the patch. Check for the patch on the Microsoft website
(www.microsoft.com) or NEC CSD website (
www.nec-computers.com ).
Future versions of LANDesk Client Manager will correct the processor
identification in LANDesk Client Manager.
Getting CD-ROM Support in Command Prompt Only Mode
CD-ROM support is not available when you select F8 at the “Starting Windows
9x” prompt and select the Command Prompt Only option. To initiate
CD-ROM support in the Command Prompt Only mode, run
DOSSTART.BAT
which is located in the C:\WINDOWS directory.
Front Panel Audio Support
The front panel headphone jack and volume control only support the use of the
internal onboard sound device. The installation of an optional sound card in the
system disables the front panel headphone jack and volume control. Connect the
headphones directly to the optional sound card. Follow the instructions included
with the optional sound card to connect the headphones into the correct jack.
LS-120 SuperDisk Copy Utility
Using the LS-120 SuperDisk™ Copy utility on 1.44-MB or 120-MB media
intermittently causes system lockups and diskette eject failures. This condition
only occurs when you use the SuperDisk Copy utility supplied with the
SuperDisk Tools diskette shipped with the system.
To safely copy a 1.44-MB diskette, NEC CSD recommends using the standard
Microsoft
®
Disk Copy program supplied with the Microsoft Windows
®
operating system. You can find the Microsoft Disk Copy program by double
clicking
My Computer and right clicking the LS-120 icon. The context menu
displays Copy Disk as one of the available items. Using this Copy Disk program
allows the LS-120 SuperDisk drive to copy 1.44-MB diskettes without system
lockups and allows the drive to eject the 1.44-MB diskette. However, this utility
does not copy 120-MB media.
If you need to duplicate 120-MB media, you must use the SuperDisk Copy
utility. To avoid data loss, make sure you save all data and close all applications
before you attempt to copy 120-MB diskettes with the SuperDisk Copy utility.
To recover from a diskette eject failure or a system lockup after completing the
SuperDisk Copy, restart the system by pressing the power button to turn off the
system. Then press the power button again to turn on system power.
LS-120 SuperDisk Copy issues are currently under investigation and will be
fixed in the next version of the SuperDisk Utilities. Please check the NEC CSD
website below for updates.
