Hardware Connection
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Turn off power to all system-connected devices prior to connecting
or disconnecting cables, or setting hardware configurations. Failure to do so could result
in electric shock or death, and equipment damage, even under low-voltage conditions.
When using LogBook/300 in attached mode, the PC-Card [in LogBook/300] must already
have the file
logbook.sys.
Otherwise, LogView cannot communicate with LogBook/300,
and LogBook/300 will appear dead.
IMPORTANT! Software must be installed first!
