Install Device Drivers
Your PlexWriter SCSI drive acts as a “CD-ROM Drive” for purposes of installation
and setup. In some cases, you will need to install additional software to make use of
all of the features of the PlexWriter.
•
Using the PlexWriter on a PC:
As CD-ROM: The computer’s operating system, whether it is Windows 95,
Windows 98, or Windows NT, supplies a generic CD-ROM device driver
that allows the PlexWriter to function as a standard CD-ROM drive. You
don’t need to install anything else.
As a CD-R or CD-RW device: In order to write to CD-R or CD-RW media,
you will need additional software. If you purchased a kit from Plextor,
software is supplied.
•
Using the PlexWriter on a Macintosh: Whether using the PlexWriter as a
standard CD-ROM or as a CD-R or CD-RW device, you will need additional
drivers or software besides those that are part of the Macintosh operating system.
You will need to purchase this software separately. The compatibility list is
available from Plextor’s web site at www.plextor.com.
Before installing any software, check that all the cable connections between your
PlexWriter and computer are correct, that any jumpers are set properly, and the
PlexWriter is recognized by your system.
