install the driver. If you do not have a USB 2.0 host card your USB 2.0
Drive Kit will run at USB 1.1 speeds.

USB 2.0 at this time your Mac will run at USB 1.1 speeds.

Windows 98 SE update. For Windows ME/2000/XP no software
installation is required. 1394 Storage is not supported in
Windows 98 Gold.

your MAC.

Once the software has been properly installed, turn on your drive kit (green
switch in the back), plug one end of the USB 2.0 or 1394 cable into the
Drive case. With the computer running, plug the remaining end of the cable
into your computer’s available 1394/FireWire port for PYRO 1394 DRIVE
KIT users or a USB 2.0 Port/USB 1.1 Port for USB 2.0 Drive Kit owners.
If all the software was installed correctly, your drive kit should mount at
this point. Some drives need to be partitioned or formated before they can
mount properly.
Things to Remember:
• The Drive Kit is not a portable device, it should be handled with care.
• Do not unplug the Drive Kit FireWire/USB cable without safely
un-mounting or ejecting the drive rst.
