The required files may be downloaded from the IBM Bulletin Board; (919) 517-0001 or from the IBM Web site. After downloading the files to your hard drive, run each file to create the diskettes. Place a blank formated diskette in the floppy drive and enter the file name in the run function to expand the files to a floppy diskette.
