Important Notes for Using Imation SuperDisk Drives
 
A:
January 6, 2000 - Apple has released a new ROM version ($77D.45f5) that is now shipping with Sawtooth G4's. Customers with Imation SuperDisk drives will need to download the latest set of extensions in order to mount floppys and authorize. The new version 3.2 is a single downloadable file that contains two extensions (USB Superdisk Driver and USB Superdisk UT Driver) once it has been unstuffed. Stuffit Expander 5.1 or higher is required for downloading and decoding. The USB Floppy Enabler remains unchanged at version 2.0. (update/note: version 2.1.1 was released in August 2000)Notes for ALL OS 9 Users with Imation SuperDisk Drives:1 - Do not boot up your system with a disk inserted in the USB Drive. Upon start up OS9 now checks the USB drive in order to allow booting from a USB device. If a disk is present, the Imation drivers are bypassed and Apple's own drivers are used. If no disk is detected, the OS will use the Imation driver.2 - Version 3.2 of the Imation SuperDisk USB Driver for Macintosh is recommended for use with OS9. The Pro Tools 5.0 CD updates your existing USB driver to v2.0, but Digidesign recommends that you download the newer 3.2 version from the Imation SuperDisk website.
