Macintosh™ OS 9.X
You must update your operating system to a minimum of version 9.2. Once done, you will not need any special drivers or extensions. You simply plug the Gmini 400 into your Macintosh as enumerated above, and within a few seconds, the Gmini 400 will be recognized as a mass storage device (Hard Disk) and mount on the desktop. You can now use the Hard disk called JUKEBOX like any other external hard disk.
Macintosh™ OS X
We highly recommend that you update to Macintosh OS 10.2.4 or later. If you have Mac OS X before the 10.2 upgrade, you will find that version 10.1 may mount the Gmini 400 as a hard disk on your desktop, but ONLY after a very long wait, up to 10 minutes. Version 10.0 of OS X does not have the ability to properly recognize a mass storage device such as the Gmini 400.
Macintosh™ OS X (10.2 Jaguar and 10.3 Panther)
If you have OS 10.2, you must update to version
10.2.4or newer. This is a free update from Apple® Computer. You will not require any special installation of software drivers or extensions. You simply plug the Gmini 400 into your Macintosh as enumerated above, and within a few seconds, the Gmini 400 will be recognized as a mass storage device (Hard Disk) and mount on the desktop. You can now use the Hard disk called JUKEBOX like any other external hard disk.
