Again, No Driver is required for these two operating systems. Simply plug the KanguruMicro MP3into the USB port and the system will automatically find the KanguruMicro MP3.

For Linux user, please refer to Important Notices.

Important Notices：

(i)In Windows 98/98SE, run the setup.exe first, without the unit plug in. Installing the device while it’s plugged in may cause driver files to become corrupted.

(ii)If you plug the KanguruMicro MP3 into the USB port and your system finds the KanguruMicro MP3, but you are unable to access it. Please FORMAT the KanguruMicro MP3.

(iii)Before unplugging the KanguruMicro MP3 from the USB port in Windows ME/2000/XP, make sure you go to the remove icon (green arrow) in the taskbar to stop the device. Otherwise, it may result in losing data that you have saved on the KanguruMicro MP3. (Please refer to 2.6.)

(iv)Linux uses a so-called "USB Manager", which automatically loads kernel modules (drivers) for USB devices. It loads only drivers for devices that are present on the USB bus to reduce memory usage. Per default, the USB Manager does not come with the USB Drive pre-configured. However, you can easily configure the USB Manager to automatically recognize the USB Drive yourself. Just add the following to the configuration file,

usbmgr.conf (usually in /etc/usbmgr): vendor 0xd7d product 0x100 module scsi_mod, usb-storage

This line identifies the USB Drive and tells the USB Manager to load the SCSI as well as the USB storage module. The SCSI module is needed in order to talk to both SCSI and USB storage devices, while the usb-storage module is needed to talk to USB storage devices.

Do not forget to either reload the USB Manager's configuration or to restart the USB Manager (for instance, do as root: /etc/init.d/usbmgr reload).
