Additional Information:

Please be aware that the Diagnostic Diskette that has been shipped with the Support Kit for the Aptiva 2158 / 2163 is incorrect. It contains a file called Biltmore.DSK which is the unpacked version of the executable Diagnostics program. A new Diskette with the correct format executable file will be issued by ISMS.

The attached file is a .DSK utility and could be used to unpack the file on the diskette by the following method

From an MS-DOS Window.

1. Create a Temporary directory ( E.G. MD\ BILTMORE )

2. Copy the file A:BILTMORE.DSK from the diagnostic Diskette to that Directory

3. Copy the file DSK4W32.EXE to that Directory

4. Set the Write Protect Jumper on the diagnostic Diskette to the OFF position.

5. From the Temporary directory run DSK4W32 BILTMORE.DSK A:

This will unpack the files correctly to the diskette creating a bootable diskette until the correct diskette is available.
