1. Start Windows.
2. Insert the Sealevel Systems CD in to your CD drive.
3. If ‘Auto-Start’ is enabled for this drive the software will automatically launch. Otherwise,
point your browser to the ‘Index.htm’ on the root directory of the CD
4. Select ‘Install Software’.
5. Select the Item Number for your adapter from the listing.
6. Select ‘Windows 98/ME/2000/XP’. The setup file will automatically detect the operating
environment and install the proper components. Next (depending on your browser) select
the ‘Run this program from its current location’ or ‘Open’ option. Follow the information
presented on the screens that follow.
7. Run the Add/Remove Hardware utility located in Control Panel. Double click the icon to
launch the Wizard. When the Choose Hardware Task appears choose Add/Troubleshoot
a device. At that point Windows will search for Plug and Play devices. Since the ISA
board is not Plug and Play it will not be found. If Windows finds something you were
not expecting, cancel that install and click Next. When Choose a Hardware Device
appears select Add a new device. Windows will then ask if you want it to search and you
select No, I want to select the hardware from a list. Then click Next. After choosing
