1. Verify that you are running System software version 6.0.6 or later. If the System is 6.0.5 or earlier you need to upgrade your system software before proceeding. Contact your Apple dealer or user group.
2. Drag the MacRecorder® Driver file into your System Folder.
3. Restart your Macintosh.
The MacRecorder Driver icon will appear during startup, confirming that the MacRecorder Driver is installed.
NOTE: If the Driver appears on the screen during startup like this:
then the driver has failed to load. Two common conditions that cause this are:
-Virtual Memory is turned on under System 7.0 (see below).
-Serial ports on a IIfx are not configured in "compatible" mode (see below).
To use the MacRecorder Driver:
The MacRecorder Driver works with all applications that support the Apple Sound Input Manager. To confirm that the driver is working and properly configured, open the Sound Control Panel.
The installed drivers appear along the bottom of the Control Panel.
• Clicking the Add button brings up a recording dialog that allows you to record new system beeps.
• Delete system beeps from the list by selecting them and clicking the Remove button.
• The Options button confirms which serial port the MacRecorder is connected to.
The MacRecorder Driver will automatically sense which port the MacRecorder is connected to.
Farallon has licensed this CDEV from Apple Computer to make our sound hardware and software compatible with the Macintosh IIfx computer. Although you may edit and play back sounds without using the IIfx Serial Switch, you MUST have the ports on a IIfx configured in “compatible” mode for recording and testing input levels when using the MacRecorder digitizer with SoundEdit, HyperSound, or any product using the MacRecorder Driver.
To install the IIfx Serial Switch:
1. Drag the IIfx Serial Switch file to your System Folder.
(under System 7.0, this file goes in your Control Panels folder)
2. Open the Control Panel and select the IIfx Serial Switch.
3. Choose the serial port setting labeled “compatible” (rather than “faster”).
4. Close the Control Panel.
5. Restart your Macintosh. Having the serial ports on a IIfx in compatible mode does not adversely affect the operation of the computer.
