		      -----------------------

  This README file contains important information about QuickIDE
  and your CMD 32-Bit Local Bus IDE Controller.  For the latest 
  information about your CMD IDE controller and QuickIDE, please read 
  this file in its entirety.

INSTALLATION
------------
  Software Drivers:
     
     DOS: see install procedure below
     NetWare 3.1x     : see install procedure below, additional info
			in NETWARE.3X\README.NW3
     NetWare 4.0      : see NETWARE.4X\README.NW4
     OS/2 2.x         : see OS2\README.OS2
     Windows 3.1 NT   : see NT\README.NT
     SCO UNIX 3.2.4.x : see SCO\README.SCO

  Connect your IDE drives to your CMD IDE controller.  Make sure that 
  the jumpers on the drives are set correctly for Master and Slave 
  drives.  If your CMD IDE controller is on an add-in card, plug it
  into a suitable Local Bus slot.

  Next, configure your CMOS with the proper drive types for the
  drive(s) connected to the IDE port.  
  
  Install the desired operating system that you are going to use on your 
  hard drive.
  
  Next, you must install the QuickIDE software for DOS and NetWare 3.1x. 
  For OS/2, NetWare 4.x, and Windows NT, refer to README.OS2, README.NW 
  and README.NT, respectively.  To start QuickIDE installation, type 
  the path where your installation program resides.  For instance, 
  if you will be installing from drive A, type:

    A:INSTALL

  Once QuickIDE Installation loads, you will be guided through
  the installation process with a series of prompts and dialogs.
  If you have a mouse, be sure to load your mouse driver first.
  If you do not have a mouse, the keyboard will work fine.  The
  following key definitions may be helpful:

    ARROW KEYS - move within a field.
    TAB - move from one field to another within a window or dialog
   
  To select a button or menu, hold down ALT while pressing the
  underlined letter in the button or menu.

  After you have answered all the questions, QuickIDE will copy
  files to your C: drive and perform edits to files as needed.
  Backup copies of any files it changes will be created in case you
  want to undo the installation.  The files which may be modified are:
  CONFIG.SYS and  AUTOEXEC.BAT.  The original files will be renamed to
  CONFIG.000, etc.
