PLEASE NOTE: A problem was discovered with the installer script on the
PowerTalk For Power Macintosh (1.0.3) Install Me First disk, where it would not
install properly on systems with Power Macintosh Upgrade Cards. This problem
does not exist on the PowerTalk For Power Macintosh (1.0.2) Install Me First
disk. Except for the installer script, the software contained within the 1.0.2
& 1.0.3 Install Me First disks is identical. Apple is recommending that
customers use the 1.0.2 PowerTalk Install Me First disk posted here when
installing PowerTalk on Power Macintosh and Power Macintosh Upgrade Card
systems.
This software consists of a Disk Copy compressed image, which requires Disk Copy 6.1 or later to use. Disk Copy 6.1 is available in the Utilities folder here.

PowerTalk Software for Power Macintosh
This disk allows you to install PowerTalk on your Power Macintosh computer. For
more information about PowerTalk, please read the PowerTalk User’s Guide
included with System 7 Pro.
IMPORTANT: If you are installing PowerTalk on a Macintosh computer with a
Power Macintosh Upgrade Card, please see the special instructions at the end of
this document.
IMPORTANT: Before you install PowerTalk software, turn off any automatic virus
detection programs you have on your computer. After the installation is
complete, you can turn the virus detection programs back on.
Installing PowerTalk on Power Macintosh computers
IMPORTANT: You must have System 7 Pro, which contains the PowerTalk, PowerTalk
2, and Tidbits disks, to use the PowerTalk Install Me First disk to install
PowerTalk on your Power Macintosh. The installation software on your PowerTalk
Install Me First disk will only work on
Power Macintosh computers or Macintosh computers with a Power Macintosh Upgrade
Card installed.
To install your PowerTalk software, you need four disks:
• PowerTalk Install Me First (the disk that contains this document)
• PowerTalk
• PowerTalk 2
• Tidbits
The PowerTalk, PowerTalk 2, and Tidbits disks are included in your System 7 Pro
package.
To install PowerTalk software, follow these steps:
1. Go to the Finder desktop. If your computer is off, turn it on. If it’s
already on, quit any programs that are running.
2. Insert the PowerTalk Install Me First disk. The disk’s icon appears on the
desktop.
3. Open the disk by double-clicking its icon.
4. Open the Installer by double-clicking its icon. The Easy Install dialog box
appears.
5. Click the Install button. The Installer takes a few moments to calculate
what needs to be done and then begins to copy files. The whole process may take
several minutes.
6. When the PowerTalk Install Me First disk is ejected, follow the instructions
you see on the screen. You’ll have to swap disks a few times. Each time, the
Installer ejects one disk and asks you to insert another.
7. When you see a message reporting that the installation has been successfully
completed, follow the instructions on the screen. If you turned off any
automatic virus detection programs on your Power Macintosh, turn them back on
now.
Installing PowerTalk on Macintosh computers with Power Macintosh Upgrade Cards
To install your PowerTalk software, you need:
• Your System 7 Pro package
• PowerTalk Install Me First (the disk that contains this document)
IMPORTANT: You MUST install System 7 Pro software AFTER installing the Power
Macintosh Upgrade Card software, even if you had previously installed System 7
Pro on your Macintosh.
If you have not previously installed System 7 Pro on your computer, or if you
did not reinstall it after installing the Power Macintosh Upgrade Card
software, you must do so now. To install System 7 Pro software, follow these
steps:
1. Go to the Finder desktop. If your computer is off, turn it on. If it’s
already on, quit any programs that are running. If you are currently using the
Power Macintosh Upgrade Card, use the Power Macintosh Card Control Panel to
turn the Power Macintosh Card off. Turn your Macintosh off, then turn it on
again.
2. Insert the Install disk. The disk’s icon appears on the desktop.
3. Open the disk by double-clicking its icon.
4. Open the Installer by double-clicking its icon. The Easy Install dialog box
appears.
5. Click the Install button. The Installer takes a few moments to calculate
what needs to be done and then begins to copy files. The whole process may take
several minutes.
6. When the Install disk is ejected, follow the instructions you see on the
screen. You’ll have to swap disks several times. Each time, the Installer
ejects one disk and asks you to insert another.
IMPORTANT: If you see a message that says that the Finder you are about
to install is older than the Finder already on the disk, click “Continue.”
7. When you see a message reporting that the installation has been successfully
completed, follow the instructions on the screen.
When you have completed the System 7 Pro installation, or if you previously had
installed System 7 Pro on your computer, follow these steps:
1. Insert the PowerTalk Install Me First disk.
The disk’s icon appears on the desktop.
2. Open the disk by double-clicking its icon.
3. Open the Installer by double-clicking its icon.
The Easy Install dialog box appears.
4. Click the Install button.
The Installer takes a few moments to calculate what needs to be done and
then begins to copy files. The whole process may take several minutes.
5. When you see a message reporting that the installation has been successfully
completed, follow the instructions on the screen.
If you turned off any automatic virus detection programs on your Macintosh,
turn them back on now.
You can now use PowerTalk with the Power Macintosh card on or off.
