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
10.2.4 or 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.
13.2 Disconnecting the Gmini 400 from your Computer

the computer before disconnecting the USB cable to avoid loss of data or
