-----------------------------------------THE QSDriver246 FOLDER-----------------------------------------

For use and operation on the the following systems:

                   Windows XP (pro & home)                           Windows Vista 
                 Windows XP 64-bit edition                           Windows Vista 64-bit 

Rather than being a single driver, this folder contains an intermeshed set of drivers from which the installation
will select the most appropriate arrangement for your system.

The most common installation resolution is going to install 2 drivers to your computer, one after another.
 (Meaning that your Found New Hardware Wizard is going to start up a second time immediately following the
 first driver installation. The tandem drivers are not the same, but one USB Controller and one VCP, or Virtual
 Com Port, both working together to serve QuickSilvers' high level of communications traffic.


---------------------------------------------DRIVER INSTALLATION-----------------------------------------------------------

Where this driver has not yet received the intense testing we would prefer before public release, we would
 ask that initially you do not remove your existing D2XX Driver, but install this driver to a different USB port
if possible. This will ease your ability to compare operations if you want, or switch back to the original
 should this driver become unstable. Also, if you can, I would greatly appreciate your letting me know of any
performance / stability issues or improvements that you might discover, particularly over the first week -2 weeks
of use.

If you wish to keep your current driver available as a backup, this driver must be installed to a different USB port;
the two can coexist on the same system, however not on the same port, as ther new one will over-write the old. 

1. Do not distribute or separate the content of the QSDriver246 folder; leave it on the desktop until drivers
     have been installed.

2. Choose the port you will be loading to, and pre-connect your USB cable at the computer but not at the QS-7.

3. Power on the QS-7, then connect the USB to the QS-7. You will begin to get notification of new hardware,
    which may even display it as being recognized.
