Hi

My first post here so...  Hello.

After a lot of digging around, I have not been able to come up with a way of
connecting the Bookport in Win98; but it can be connected in DOS, if that is
any help.

Put the files usbaspi.sys and di1000dd.sys )both freely available on the
net) in the config.sys file and boot from the A drive.  The Bookport will
mount like an external drive.

Bookport...  A Dream Come True!  Heartfelt thanks to the people at APH. Mine
goes with me everywhere.  It's the most useful piece of kit I have bought in
many years.
