Computer

The minimum system requirements for using the CRW8824SX drive are as follows:

●For PC/AT-compatible computers:

OS: Windows 95/98/98SE (Second Edition), Windows NT4.0 with Service Pack 3 or later, Windows 2000.

CPU: Pentium-class or better, 200MHz or faster.

RAM: 32MB (64MB recommended).

●For Macintosh computers: OS: Mac OS 8 to Mac OS 9. CPU: PowerPC G3/300 or better. RAM: 32MB (64MB recommended). CD-ROM drive.

●A spare PCI expansion slot for a SCSI card (if one hasn’t been installed yet).

●A SCSI card to connect SCSI devices (including the CRW8824SX) to your computer. Make sure it has a D-sub half-pitch 50-pin pin-type external connector. Yamaha recommends any of Adaptec’s AHA-2940-series cards (PCI slot).

nMany Apple Macintosh computers have built-in SCSI connectors. However, if your Macintosh does not have a built-in SCSI connector, you will need to obtain a PCI bus SCSI adapter card. (Yamaha recommends Adaptec’s PowerDomain 2930U card.)

nFor details about how to install the SCSI adapter card, refer to the documentation that came with it.
