Additional Notes
This Zip file has a bunch of info for Win9x, DOS & Win3.xx, WinNT, OS/2, & Novell NetWare. I put a readme.txt file in the root directory, so read that after you unzip it to see what everything does.
Redhat Linux 6.1 has what it needs for the card, but I haven't gotten mine to 'initialize' properly yet, & since that is what I was looking for, I have not used anything in this Zip file.
Good Luck! Hahahaha
