Installation on Macintosh machines
We strongly recommend using Mac OS9 or greater
when operating your Digital Media reader. Computers run-
ning systems between OS8.6 and OS9.0 must first update
their OS with Apple’s USB Adapter Card Support for Mass
Storage Devices. OS9.x.x or 10.1.x users must obtain a
driver file in order to use the reader. Users of Mac OS10.2
or greater do not need additional drivers.
1. Before connecting the Digital Media reader, turn on
your Mac and boot up as usual.
2. Connect the reader’s USB plug to the USB port on your
Mac or USB Hub.
3. A new ‘drive’ icon will appear on your desktop. The
Digital Media card may now be used as a portable storage
device, accessible through standard file access methods.
Important: Prior to removing the Digital Me-
dia card from the reader, click and drag the new disk
icon to the trash folder on your desktop, to discon-
nect your card. Failure to do so may result in data
corruption and render your card unusable.
Installation on a PC Compatible running Windows ME,
2000 or XP
Our digital media readers use “Mass Storage Com-
pliant” technology. Generally this means users running Win-
dows ME, 2000 or XP need not install any drivers to operate
their readers. See Windows 98 or 98SE instructions later in
this document.

matically.

an additional removable drive.

table storage device, accessible through standard file ac-
cess methods.
