Connecting the Sound Card 

If the computer is using a sound card, the drive is connected to the sound card with an audio
cable. The supplied analog audio cable fits most sound cards or one can be purchased at a local
computer store.

When using Windows 98/2000 Professional/Me/XP Home Edition/XP Professional, no special
device driver is required. Your system, upon Power On and bootup after installing and connecting
the new Super Multi DVD Drive, will recognize and load native software drivers automatically.
