Chapter 2: Driver Installation

Attach one end of a standard USB A/A to the USB connector on the Atarimax USB Cartridge Interface and the other end to a USB port on your PC.Note: For optimal performance, it is recommended that you plug the interface into a USB port directly on your PC and not a USB hub.
When plugged into your PC or USB Hub, the activity LED on your interface will blink and then glow continuously to indicate the device is ready.
If the activity LED does not blink when plugged in, re-check your connections and try again.
You should see the new hardware notification bubble appear. Note this may appear and disappear very quickly on some systems.

You will now be prompted for the driver software as seen on the right.

If you did not have the CD inserted when you began the installation process, it may take a few seconds for the 'Next' button to appear after CD insertion.The hardware installation wizard will now search your local CD-ROM drive for the appropriate drivers.
