    250 Code Updates
    We have updated most of the new files on this site to provide you with self-extracting diskette images. To extract the image, just execute the file once it is stored on your hard disk, and insert a floppy in the "A" drive. You will be required to read a license agreement and agree to its terms before a diskette will be created.

    If a diskette image file has a DSK extension you must use the LOADDSKF utility to expand it to a diskette. Use an archiving tool such as PKUNZIP for files with a ZIP extension.

    TCP/IP or SNA Combo You make the choice during the installation - Win9x/NT/2000 required

    This new installation works like nothing we have ever released before! We used some new tools and techniques to make installing IBM 5250 Adapter Support easier for our Customers. TCP/IP over Twinax and SNA support for Client Access and Personal Communications are all in one package. You have the option of a single large file to Install for the Web, or four diskette images for 1.4Mb Floppy disks. You don't need both...

    Windows 2000 Users: Your only option at present is TCPIP over Twinax. This package will detect your Windows 2000 installation and install only the TCPIP over Twinax driver. You also get the Native Diagnostics and Twinax Config v3 during this installation.

    5250 Express Adapter Legacy Support

    These diskette images are for software support and diagnostic utility. Support for the new Express Family as well as our previous ISA, PCMCIA, and 5250 /A offerings. This Diagnostic may fail on PCI Adapters if your PC allocates memory for it above 1Mb. (Use this version to solve that issue.)

    Please be sure to get both diskettes to complete your set. The part numbers listed in each are the DISKETTE part numbers for manufacturing and cannot be ordered from IBM.

    The U.S. English version of these diskettes have the new 5250 Lite program on them. IBM 5250 Lite will allow you to choose a Display station address quickly and easily to get users on-line fast!
