LIB-81
Windows Server 2003 Medium Changer Driver (Itanium Only!)
If the user installs an unsigned driver for this web site, Windows 2003 will display a warning that the driver is unsigned, thus helping to preserve the integrity of the released system. However, by default, Windows 2003 does not block installation of unsigned drivers. This will allow Sony Electronics Inc. to get urgent fixes to customers while waiting for Microsoft Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) to test the fix.
