2. DOS/Windows 3.x
Two configuration software programs are provided with the DSP-200/300: a Client
Driver, and a card Enabler. Both of these programs are executed from DOS (before
entering Windows) and allow operation of the DSP-200/300 in both the DOS and
Windows 3.x environments. For optimal operation, however, the Client Driver is the
preferred method of installation and configuration. The table below highlights the
differences between these programs.
