Installing USB Software for FireFly

2

Mac OS Users

FireFly is a USB Mass Storage Class device. Apple systems that feature USB have pre-installed USB drivers so no software installation is required. All you need to do is to connect FireFly as described on page 12 to begin transfering files. However, if you are using Mac OS 8.6, software installation is required as described below.

For Mac OS 8.6 Users Only

If you're using Mac OS 8.6, you'll need a software update from Apple before you

can use FireFly. The necessary software is called “USB Mass Storage Support 1.3.5” and must be downloaded from Apple over the Internet.

To download the USB update:

1Go to Apple’s support web site at http://www.apple.com /support/ and search for “USB Mass Storage Support”. You may need to register with Apple and create an AppleID before you can use Apple’s support website.

2Click on the software link to download the file “USB Storage1.3.5.smi.bin”.

3When the download is complete, double click on the icon “USB Storage1.3.5.smi”.

4The file will open and a moment later there will be another icon on your desktop that looks like a disk with the name “USB Mass Storage Support”. Double-click on it.

5In the window that opens, double-click on “Apple SW Install.”

6Follow the instructions on your screen.

7Once you’ve finished installing the update, restart your computer and follow the directions on page 12 to connect and use FireFly.

Windows Users

FireFly is a USB Mass Storage Class device. This means Windows 2000, Windows Me, and Windows XP users can simply connect FireFly as described on page 12 to begin transfering files. However, Windows 98 and Windows 98SE users must install FireFly Driver Software after connecting FireFly. This is because Windows 98 and Windows 98SE do not support USB Mass Storage Class devices.
