Windows 95 Pre-Installation Procedures

Note: Windows system files may be required to complete installation
of the AirCard 555 driver. These files are located on the Windows CD
and may be stored on your hard drive in CAB files. Ensure you have
your Windows CD, or know the location of the .CAB files before
proceeding.

Depending on how Windows 95 was installed on your PC and
what devices have since been installed, your PC card
(PCMCIA) slots may or may not have been enabled and the
TCP/IP stack may or may not be installed. Since the AirCard
requires these, this section guides you through these steps:

1.

Verifying that the PC card slots are enabled
