     after smartmontools 5.43.
   
     -- Windows 9x/ME  
   
     On 9x/ME, only standard (legacy) IDE/ATA devices 0-3 are supported.  
     The driver SMARTVSD.VXD must be present in WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS  
     to get loaded at Windows startup. The default location in a new  
     installation of some versions of Windows is the WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder.  
     In this case, move SMARTVSD.VXD to WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS and reboot  
     (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/265854/en-us).  
   
     SMARTVSD.VXD relies on the standard IDE port driver ESDI_506.PDR.  
     If the system uses a vendor specific driver, access of SMART data  
     is not possible.  
   
     Some ATA controllers (e.g. Promise) provided a custom SMARTVSD.VXD  
     for their Win9x/ME driver. To access SMART data from both the legacy  
     (/dev/h[a-d]) and this additional (/dev/hd[e-h]) controller, rename  
     this file to SMARTVSE.VXD. Open the file with a hex editor and replace  
     all occurrences of the string "SMARTVSD" with "SMARTVSE". Then reinstall  
     the original Windows SMARTVSD.VXD.  
   
     To access SCSI and USB devices, an installed ASPI interface (WNASPI32.DLL)  
     is required. The code was tested with Adaptec Windows ASPI drivers 4.71.2.  
     (http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/support/_eol/scsi_sw/ASPI-4.70/)  
     Links to other ASPI drivers can be found at http://www.nu2.nu/aspi/.
