Table 4: Reference on Firmware
The downloadable cifX firmware runs on PC cards cifX PC/104. The firm-
ware automatically detects whether it is running on a PC cards cifX PC-
104. Precedent cifX firmware is only applicable to PC cards cifX PC/104.
If a precedent cifX firmware (without PC/104 recognition) is loaded in
a PC Card cifX PC/104, the cifX will get defective and must be sent to
the service! For the PC cards cifX PC/104 only cifX firmware from the
minimum versions may be used as listed in section Hardware: PC Cards
cifX, AIFX Assembly Interfaces on page 9.
