Windows & Computer Compatibility

To use this device, you must have Microsoft Windows 98, Millennium, or 2000 installed on your PC. If you do not have Windows 98 or Windows 2000, this device will not work.

Also, the device requires that a USB port is installed and enabled on your PC. Some PCs have a disabled USB port. If your port doesn’t seem to be work- ing, there may be jumpers on the motherboard or a menu option in the BIOS that will enable a PCs USB port. Consult your computer’s user guide. Some motherboards have USB interfaces, but no ports. You should be able to install your own USB port and attach it to your PCs motherboard using hardware purchased at any computer store.
