Using the Piccolo With Windows
The Piccolo is supported natively under Windows Me, Windows
2000, and Windows XP; no drivers are required—just plug it into
a USB port and start working. Under Windows 98/Windows 98 SE,
you must download and install a driver* prior to using the Piccolo.
• Detection - After the Piccolo is
plugged in, it is automatically
detected by your computer and
assigned a drive letter. (Figure 8).
• Use - Use the Piccolo like a
removable disk. Access it from
My Computer and from within
applications.
• Eject - Open My Computer, right-click on the
Piccolo, drop down through the menu and
select Eject (Figure 9). Users of
Windows Me, 2000, or XP may
also left-click on the eject icon
on the taskbar, then select the
Piccolo (Figure 10).
Notes
• Always remember to “eject” the Piccolo before unplugging it to
prevent data loss or corruption.
• If the Piccolo does not appear in My Computer, press the F5 key
on your keyboard to refresh the screen. If after refreshing the sys-
tem the Piccolo still does not appear, unplug it, then plug it back
into the USB port; it should appear.
* Windows 98/Windows 98 SE require driver software for Piccolo to operate in your system.
Download the driver from our website at www.sonnettech.com/support/piccolo.
Using the Piccolo With Mac OS 8.6 through 9.x
Piccolo is supported natively under Mac OS 8.6* through 9.x; no
drivers are required. Just plug it into a USB port, and start working.
• Mount - When the Piccolo is plugged in,
it mounts to the desktop and appears as a
removable media device (Figure 6).
• Use - Use the Piccolo like a removable
media drive. Access it from the desktop and
from within applications.
• Eject - Drag the Piccolo to the Trash on the
desktop to unmount it; alternately, with the

Notes
• Always remember to “eject” the Piccolo
before unplugging it to prevent data loss or
corruption.
• When you delete files from the Piccolo
(drag them to the trash), remember to
empty the trash by selecting Special: Empty
trash... from the Apple Menu. Otherwise, the files remain in the
Trash folder on the Piccolo and occupy “disk” space.
• If the Piccolo does not mount after you plug it in, or while plugged
in when your system boots, unplug it, then plug it back into the
USB port; it should mount.
* If your system is running Mac OS 8.6, you may need to install additional software for Piccolo to
operate. Go to www.sonnettech.com/support/piccolo to get the software.
