If you have been using the pedals for KEYBORAD emulation and are happy with the old configuration you should do nothing: no new drivers, no reinstallation, nothing. Just keep using the pedals as before. Do not upgrade! The pedals remember old configuration even when reconnected to a new computer.
If you change the pedal assignment from time to time, you'd rather upgrade. Get the whole Bilbo software package, Bilbo95.exe.
Alternatively, you may upgrade the mouse driver only, and keep the older version of the rest of the Bilbo software. Should you choose to do so, download Mtrap32.zip. Unzip the archive (there are only 2 files there, MTRAP32.EXE and MTRAPX32.DLL), copy the files into your C:\bilbo directory and use MTRAP32.EXE instead of old 16-bit MTRAP.EXE.
Once programmed, the pedals will work properly under Win/NT.
However, to REASSIGN the pedals, one needs to run Windows 95 (or DOS).
To REASSIGN the pedals, reboot the computer under Win95 or DOS and call Bilbo install again. Assign the pedals under Win95 or DOS and return to NT.
You can also reprogram the pedals on another PC running DOS, Windows 3.1x or Windows 95: the pedals remember the selected configuartion even after being reconnected to another computer.
Pedals do not require special NT keyboard drivers, and there is no special NT version of the hardware.
If the pedals have been already programmed and used under DOS, Windows 3.1x or Windows 95 there is no reason to reinstall BILBOWIN.EXE pedal assignment software.
If you have been using the pedals for KEYBORAD emulation and are upgrading to NT, you should do nothing: no new drivers, no reinstallation, nothing. Just keep using the pedals as before.
Alternatively, you may download Mtrap32.zip. Unzip the archive (there are only 2 files there, MTRAP32.EXE and MTRAPX32.DLL), copy the files into your C:\bilbo directory and use MTRAP32.EXE instead of old 16-bit MTRAP.EXE.
