Your computer must conform to the following minimum standards in order to use it with the MAUSB-10.  
Compatible operating systems  
IBM PC/AT compatible:  
pre-installed Windows 98/98 SE/Me/2000 Professional (referred to as Windows 2000 in this manual)/XP  
Power Macintosh G3/G4, Power Book G3/G4, iMac/iBook series:  
pre-installed Mac OS 8.6 - 9.2/X (v10.1.2 - v10.2.1)  
USB interface (USB Ver. 1.1 compatible)  
CD-ROM drive  
Supported cards  
SmartMedia  
4MB/8MB/16MB/32MB/64MB/128MB (3.3V)  
xD-Picture Card  
16MB/32MB/64MB/128MB (3.3V)  
Precautions  
The MAUSB-10 may not be compatible with your computer hardware, software, or drivers.  
It is not possible to connect two or more MAUSB-10s to a single PC at the same time.  
If you connect the MAUSB-10 to a PC via a USB hub, the MAUSB-10 may not function properly.  
In this case, directly connect the MAUSB-10 to the computer.  
Versions of Windows 98/Me upgraded from Windows 3.1/95, or Windows 2000 upgraded from Windows 95/NT  
4.0/NT 3.51 may not work properly. In this case, you may need to reinstall your OS.  
If you are using an iMac (M6709J/A, M6709J/B), you must install iMac Update 1.1 on your computer (not  
required for Mac OS 8.6 or later).  
Opening the card cover, removing a card, or disconnecting the MAUSB-10 while the status lamp is blinking  
may destroy data on the card or damage the card.  
If a card is formatted by a PC connected to the MAUSB-10, the card may not function properly in your digital  
appliance. In this case, format the card using your digital appliance again. Refer to your digital appliance’s  
manual for more information.  
Some older digital cameras do not support 64MB and larger SmartMedia cards. Do not use a 64MB  
SmartMedia card or larger in a digital camera designed to support the previous SmartMedia standard (ver.  
1.0). Doing so and then inserting the card into the MAUSB-10 could destroy the data on the card. Check with  
the camera’s specifications or manufacturer for more details.
