For details on updating the XTPlus firmware, refer to the “Updating the TAPlus Firmware.doc” document located in the Utilities directory on your Exponent CD.
The numbers below are the major and minor version numbers, build number and issue number. So 2,0,1,0 is version 2.0 build 1 issue 0. All release versions for build 1 and later are issue 0 so anything higher in the last group of digits is a test / special version.
Windows 95 and NT4 are no longer supported by Exponent. The last version that runs on these platforms is 3.0.5.0.
Therefore the currently supported platforms for version 4,0,0,0 onwards are: Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP.
