ST3660A free installation software
Files containing the free hard disc installation software and a
program for extracting them, Seamove, are written on the
ST3660A drive at the factory. The installation software is a
version of EZ-Drive for Seagate. It provides a software solution
for computers using DOS and some BIOS combinations that limit
the hard disc capacity to 528 Mbytes. It allows the computer to
access the ST3660A’s entire 544.8 Mbytes. Before you partition
and format the drive, transfer the EZ-Drive files to a bootable
diskette. Instructions for transferring the EZ-Drive files are on
page 11 and in the README.EXE file on the drive.
Note. The EZ-Drive software is authorized for installation only
with the drive on which it is shipped.
