  Operating systems, Internet Explorer 4.0, and various types of drivers can be recovered for hard
disks from which the 2GB and 8GB partitions have been created in advance.  A1 system software
needs to be installed separately.
NOTE: Two versions of recovery CDs, Rev.1 and Rev.2, are available as of August, 2001.  The
recovery CD Rev.2 is supplied with the equipment from June, 2001 onward.  For version
identification, see step 9.  Rev.2 contains a timer card driver and can be installed
automatically, while Rev.1 is not provided with a timer card driver.  This needs to be
installed separately.  The timer card driver is available in the \driver\XL-G\pcitimer file in the
CD-ROM for A1 Ver.5.0-0E-592 or higher.  A CD-ROM of Ver.5.0-0E-592 or higher should
