Windows 95 has built-in software support for the SlimSCSI 1450.
This means that when you install the SlimSCSI 1450, Windows auto-
matically finds and installs the driver for it. However, you may be
able to achieve better data I/O performance by installing the
updated driver from the diskette included with the SlimSCSI 1450.
Follow these steps if you wish to do this:

floppy disk drive.
