are just dummy entries. For versions prior to 4.30 the supported PCI cards will appear as unknown
devices under Device Manager.
For AMPDIO software versions 4.32 and later a ‘Plug and Play’ Windows 2000 / Windows XP
driver is used. This section describes how to install a card to use this Plug and Play driver under
Windows XP.
2.3.3.1 PCI Card
For a PCI card, Windows will detect the new hardware automatically and attempt to install the
drivers. The driver files can be installed from the AMPDIO software installation directory or from
the SOFTMAN CD-ROM.
To install the PCI card automatically on system start-up, do the following:
1. If installing from CD-ROM rather than from the AMPDIO software installation directory, ensure
the Amplicon SOFTMAN CD-ROM is in the CD-ROM drive.
2. When Windows detects the new hardware it
opens the ‘Welcome to the Found New
Hardware Wizard’ page. To the question ‘Can
Windows connect to Windows Update to search
for software?’ select the option ‘No, not this
time’. Press ‘Next’.
3. If installing from the CD-ROM, select the ‘Install
the software automatically (Recommended)’
option. If installing from the AMPDIO software
installation directory on the hard disk, select the
‘Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)’
option. Press ‘Next’.
4. If installing from the AMPDIO software installation directory, select the ‘Search for the best
driver in these locations’ option, deselect the ‘Search removable media (Floppy, CD-ROM...)’
option, select the ‘Include this location in the search’ option, press the ‘Browse’ button and
browse to the AMPDIO software directory. Then press ‘Next’.
5. If a ‘Security Alert’ dialog appears, press ‘Yes’ to allow Windows to install the driver.
6. Windows will install the driver and reach the ‘Completing the Found New Hardware Wizard’
page.
7. On the ‘Completing the Found New Hardware Wizard’ page, press ‘Finish’.
2.3.3.2 ISA Card
To install an ISA ADIO card in Windows XP (with the Plug and Play driver) do the following:
1. Go to the Control Panel by pressing START > Control Panel.
2. If the Control Panel is showing the Category View, switch to the Classic View. In the Classic
View, double click on the ‘Add Hardware’ icon.
3. On the ‘Add Hardware Wizard’ page, press ‘Next’.
