Getting Connected and Installing Drivers (Macintosh)

About the Driver Modes

What is a driver?
A "driver" is software that transfers data between the UM-1EX and application software running
on your computer, when your computer and the UM-1EX are connected. The driver sends data
from your application to the UM-1EX, and from the UM-1EX to your application.
About the driver modes
The UM-1EX has two operating modes, Advanced mode and Standard driver mode, and a
different driver is used by each mode.
* Standard driver mode supports only Mac OS X.
If you're using OS 9, you must turn the ADVANCED (mode select) Switch ON before you
connect the UM-1EX to your Macintosh.
