On this diskette you will find device drivers for the EIDE MAX
LBA Control Driver.

| EIDE MAX device driver for Microsoft Windows 3.1 |
| and Windows for Workgroups 3.11 |
+=======================================================+
The files MAXI13.386 and MAXCTRL.386 are the Microsoft Windows 3.1
disk driver for the EIDE MAX LBA controller.
While Microsoft Windows version 3.1 supports 32-bit disk access, the
disk data transfer between host and the IDE adapter is still limited
by the 16-bit ISA bus. If you want to speed up your hard drives under
Windows through the 32-bit access, you need this driver. In addition,
the driver also allows your host to access the disk data through the
faster "read/write multiple" commands.
