Starting with Pewin Pro and Service Pack 2.0, the USB driver support for this revision of the card is
bundled with the Pewin Pro installation program. The UMAC USB card will work only with Windows
98, Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. It will not function with Windows NT 4.0; this
version of Windows does not support plug and play, which is required by all USB devices.
Note:
Windows XP is recommended since the UMAC has on-board USB 2.0 and only
Windows XP has native USB 2.0 support.
One file is placed on the PC to achieve USB connectivity – device driver PMACUSB.SYS in the

Message displays. A series of dialog boxes will appear, indicating that Windows is installing the device
drivers for the system.
Note:
Plug in the USB cable from the UMAC to the PC after the software Pewin Pro and
its Service Pack 2.0 has been installed. If the USB cable is plugged in before the
software has been installed, restart Windows.
