MIDEX-8
English – 6
System Requirements – PC
To be able to use MIDEX-8, you need:
• A PC with a main board (motherboard) that is equipped with USB connectors or
a PC that is equipped with a PCI USB host adapter.
❐
Some older main boards support USB, but don’t offer the physical USB
ports on the rear of the computer. You can easily change this by buying a
port extension and installing it in your PC. Please find all corresponding
information in the manual of your computer. If necessary, consult an ex-
perienced technician.
• To use MIDEX-8 in connection with a PC, please make sure that your computer
runs a Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating
system.
❐
Windows 98 Gold is not supported.
System Requirements – Apple Computer
To be able to use MIDEX-8, you need:
• An Apple Computer that is equipped with USB connectors, e.g. the iMacs, G3/
G4 Power Books or G3/G4 desktop computers. Furthermore you need Mac OS
8.6 (or higher).
• At the time of writing of this manual, Mac OS X compatible drivers were not yet
available. If you use Mac OS X, please check out www.steinberg.net, from where
you can download the driver software as soon as it becomes available.
• OMS version 2.3.8 or a newer version.
• If you use a PCI card that provides the USB ports, you will also need a Mac OS
that supports your USB PCI card.
❐
Not all USB cards available for retrofitting do function well in all Macintosh
computers. We have not experienced problems with cards manufactured
by Sonnet.
