Macintosh Computers
Follow these steps if you are downloading
onto a Mac OS ® computer:
1. Download the self-extracting file
d8b5xxxx_Mac.hqx for the operating system
installation, and the D8B Plug-in Demo Kit
(Plugin Service Pack2.sea) for the plug-ins
installation.
2. We recommend that you update the operating
system first. Double-click on the
d8b5xxxx_Mac.hqx
file to extract the three disk
images.
3. Launch Apple's DiskCopy utility (you may need
to download the DiskCopy utility from http://
www.apple.com or check the system
installations disks that came with your system).
4. Depending on your version of DiskCopy, either
click the "Load Image File..." button or choose
"Make a Floppy" from the Utilities menu.
5. Locate the image file labeled d8b5xxxx Install
1.img that was extracted onto your hard drive.
6. DiskCopy will prompt you (depending on your
version of DiskCopy) to insert a floppy disk into
the floppy disk drive. With older versions of Disk
Copy, you may need to click the "Make a copy"
button first.
7. Once the disk has been ejected from the
computer, be sure to label your disk so you know
which is #1, #2, and #3. Then follow steps 4
through 6 to create the second and third
installation disks from the second and third disk
image files (d8b5xxxx Install 2.img; d8b5xxxx
Install 3.img
).
8. With the D8B console power supply turned off,
insert installation disk #1 into the floppy disk
drive.
9. Power on the console power supply.
10. Follow the instructions on the D8B control
surface. (Note: The installer no longer uses the
VGA screen; typical boot is about 30 seconds.)

Windows-based Computers
Follow these steps if you are downloading
onto a Windows ® -based computer:
1. Download the .ZIP files d8b5xxxx_PC.zip for
the operating system installation, and the D8B

plug-ins installation.
2. We recommend that you update the operating
system first. Double-click on the d8b5xxxx_PC.zip
file. This will launch the WinZip™ self-
extraction utility.
3. The default "Unzip To" directory is set to C:\. If
you prefer to have the files extracted to a

text box and then press the Unzip button. Quit
