Device Drivers
This section describes the device drivers that accompany your eBuddy. You
will probably never need to use them, but they are made available to you in
case of an emergency, such as a hard disk failure. Contact EarthWalk technical
support for additional information.
Insert the CD-ROM containing these drivers to view instructions for loading
them. The CD-ROM will run automatically, displaying a menu for each driver.
Click on the appropriate button to obtain instructions for loading the driver.
If you need to load the CD-ROM driver itself, see “CD-ROM driver” on
page 55.
Video, sound, and modem drivers
These drivers are pre-installed on your eBuddy. They are also provided on CD-
ROM in case you need to re-install them for any reason. You must have Win-
dows 98 installed prior to installing or re-installing these drivers.
PIIX4 driver
This driver is not needed for Windows 98. It is provided in case you prefer to
use the Windows 95 operating system. It provides a patch that allows Windows
95 to use the features of the new IDE controllers in the eBuddy.
Flash BIOS upgrade utility
This utility is used to update the Flash BIOS Read-Only Memory (ROM). Your
eBuddy comes with the newest release already installed. The only time you
would need to use this software is in the event that EarthWalk releases an
upgrade to the ROM.
