This is my local mirror archive of downloads obtained from Panasonic.ca in March 2017 and ftp.panasonic.com in February 2018. Descriptions are directly copied from the Panasonic website where available. Where not available, I've opened/extracted the files to determine what they are.
Since Panasonic still keeps most of these downloads available, this mirror is not linked to publicly - please do not do so.
I provide this page as an extension of my own Panasonic CF-25 Information Page on kishy.ca.
AC Adapter plus partially charged battery is a smart choice to perform these (Mark 2 will force you to insert the battery, Mark 3 will ignore it). My personal approach has been to use WinRAR to extract the contents of the self-extracting EXE, copy the contents to a boot floppy and boot from the floppy.

Yamaha Win95 OPL3-Sax Sound driver. This driver allows Full Duplex sound when the BIOS IRQ B and DMA B settings are manually set(CF45 mk1).
These are somewhat less organized on account of the fact no descriptions were available. I extracted all the self-extractors to get the information I have. It is not an error on my part that many files seem redundant...I'm not sure what Panasonic was getting at, but it's a mess.
