Windows 95 Optimization Kit for Digital HiNote Notebook PCs

Digital has released a Windows 95 optimization kit that lets Digital HiNote
and Digital HiNote Ultra notebook users take full advantage of Windows 95.
The Windows 95 Optimization Kit uses the field upgrade capability of the
HiNote and HiNote Ultra systems to enhance the hardware BIOS using Flash
BIOS.

Notebook users who upgrade can take advantage of the Plug-and-Play and
Advanced Power Management features built into Windows 95. The optimization
kit will improve battery life and minimize resource conflicts during Windows
95 installation. HiNote Ultra users who use the multimedia module and plan
to upgrade their systems with Windows 95 must install the optimization kit
at the same time to ensure multimedia compatibility with Windows 95

The Optimization Kit for HiNote and HiNote Ultra notebook computers
contains:

o  BIOS update diskette
o  Windows 95 Mobile Media Module Driver diskette (does not include Windows
   95 software)
o  Digital setup program (adjusts certain parameters to optimize
   notebook-specific functionality)
o  Installation guide (with instructions and Windows 95 tips; also includes
   information regarding the use of Windows 95 on notebooks)

Notebooks now being manufactured by Digital are thoroughly tested and
approved by Microsoft for total Windows 95 compatibility. The optimization
kit provides that same level of compatibility for systems in the reseller
channel and those that are in the hands of users. Digital users who
purchased HiNote or HiNote Ultra systems in the US, Canada, and some
European countries after July 1, 1995, are eligible to receive a coupon good
for a free Microsoft Windows 95 Upgrade Kit and the Windows 95 Optimization
Kit, which will be shipped together. A faxed copy of the coupon is available
from Digital at 1-800-388-3228. Ask for document number 1195. In Europe, contact
a reseller.

The setup portion of the driver diskette and the 60-page installation guide
are available in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish. Check the
language desired on the coupon.

The contents of the optimization kit, not including Windows 95 software, are
also available electronically through CompuServe's DECPCI, the Digital PC
Business Unit Bulletin Board Service at (508) 496-8800, and the Digital PC
World Wide Web home page (http://www.pc.digital.com) under the Software
Library. The filename is UGP7W95A.EXE. Physical media, part number
QB-4UKAA-SA, is available from all Digital Authorized Resellers or by
calling 1-800-722-9332.
