42 Onyx 1640i
Appendix E: FireWire
The mixer comes with a CD containing the PC driver
software needed to use your mixer's internal FireWire
interface with Windows XP or Windows Vista.
Mac OS X contains built-in drivers, so no software
installation is required.
Before installing the drivers from the CD,
please check our website in case there are any
updated drivers available. These will come with
their own installation instructions which will

The CD that contains the PC driver software
is the same CD that this owner's manual PDF
is on. So if you have not browsed the CD and
looked at this owner's manual, you will not be
reading this yet. It's a bit of a paradox really,
because didn't you just read it? Like this bit of
text right now? Hmm..
