Dell recommends the customer review specifics about the update to determine if it applies to your system. The update contains changes that impact only certain configurations, or provides new features that may/may not apply to your environment.
The update will create a bootable diskette that must be used under DOS (not under Windowed DOS box). This flash will update the drive's firmware to T106. The user will need to remove the floppy disc and then reboot the system before using the drive.
If the firmware reflash fails ( e.g., system hangs, etc. ), reboot the system and try again at least twice.
