    Build 132 Update Disk Images

    • Note: Use only if you have PC Access Version 4.20.124 installed
    Storing the update files on diskettes will save you download time if you need to update PC Access 4.20 to Build 132 again. The update is too large to fit on a single High Density 1.44MB 3.5" diskettes, so MFM created a separate version of the update that fits on several diskettes.

    The update consists of two self-extracting archive files containing disk image files. Do not download the self-extracting archive files directly to diskettes. Instead you must first download the archive files to a temporary folder on your hard disk, and then extract the disk images they contain to diskettes.

    4. Download the disk image self-extracting archive files to the C:\PCATEMP on your hard disk. Build 132 requires two diskettes, so click on the following two links to download two self-extracting archives.
