Misc. TEST/DEMO/DRIVER/SUPPORT FILES

File Format Notes

The distribution files below have the following formats:
1) PDF files are a universally accepted standard for document viewing.
    They require the free Adobe Reader program to view (click here to download).
2) ZIP files contain one or more files in compressed form.
    They require WinZip (see www.winzip.com for 30-day free trial) or an equivalent program to decompress.
3) ISO files are CDROM binary image files.
    Right click on the ISO file name under Windows 7 or later to burn directly to a blank CDROM,
    or use the Nero Burning ROM (or similar) utility for the same purpose (free trial versions are often available).
    A CDROM created from an ISO file is necessary to use our bootable test/demo software.
