Introduction
Version 6.08 fixes several issues with previous drivers. No major features are added with this
driver. We recommend that all users running Windows Me, 2000 and XP upgrade to this version
of the driver. Users of Windows 98SE or earlier are urged to use the VxD drivers.
Version 6.08 supports PureWave. PureWave is an exciting feature, introduced with Version
6.05, that is unique to Echo hardware; for more information, please see the PureWave
documentation, below.
This document also discusses new features not covered in the manual.
VxD vs. WDM basics
This installer includes two separate drivers. The first is the “VxD driver” – this is the driver
originally developed for Windows 95 that also runs on 98, 98SE, and Me. This is very similar to
the 5.58 driver that has been available for some time.
The second is the “WDM driver” – this is based on Microsoft’s new driver model. This driver runs
on Windows Me, 2000, and XP.
The installer will detect your version of Windows and guide you through selecting the appropriate
driver.
