The installed Windows 95 drivers were certified on Windows 98, and can be used until vendor-supplied Windows 98 versions are available. When they have been certified for use, Windows 98 versions of these drivers will be posted to the Support pages on the World Wide Web (http://www.intergraph.com/ics/) and to the Intergraph Bulletin Board Service (1-256­730-8786).
