Stage one - Download the upgrade files
To download the files
1 Access the Adder Technology Ltd website (www.adder.com), enter
the Support section. Choose the upgrade option that best suits
your requirements and download it to your system.
2 Decompress the downloaded file. Depending on the chosen
option, there will be a collection of suitable files. As a minimum,
there should be the following files:
• AUTOEXEC.BAT – directs the computer to run the driver
update and firmware upgrade programs.
• PS2SUN.EXE – this is the upgrade program that causes
upgrade data to be sent to the Sun converter cable from a
Windows-based computer.
• SUN103.S19 – this is the Sun keyboard driver file.
Now please follow Stage two.
