Appendix E: FireWire

The mixer comes with a CD containing the PC driver software needed to use your mixer's internal FireWire interface with Windows XP or Windows Vista.

Mac OS X contains built-in drivers, so no software installation is required.

Before installing the drivers from the CD, please check our website in case there are any updated drivers available. These will come with their own installation instructions which will supercede those shown here.

The CD that contains the PC driver software is the same CD that this owner's manual PDF is on. So if you have not browsed the CD and looked at this owner's manual, you will not be reading this yet. Its a bit of a paradox really, because didn't you just read it? Like this bit of text right now? Hmm..
