Connectivity One free USB port.
2.c. Installing the DataMAX PC Application
To install the DataMAX memory card utility on your PC, insert the DataMAX CD ROM
into your computer. If you have autorun enabled, the installation automatically starts.
If not, navigate to the CD ROM and double-click the setup.exe file.
Follow the on-screen prompts through the installation until the set-up is complete.
You have a DataMAX program icon added to your desktop (if selected during set-up)
and a new program folder on your Start menu.
Leave the CD ROM in your CD drive ready for driver installation.
2.d Connecting the DataMAX Memory Card Adapter to your
PC
Once you’ve installed the DataMAX software, it’s now time to connect the unit to your
PC using the USB to Mini USB lead supplied. Connect the large USB connector on
the USB lead to a free USB port on your PC, and the other end to the socket on the
DataMAX memory card adapter.
When you first connect the adapter, Windows detects the new hardware and asks
you to install the necessary drivers. When prompted, direct Windows to the
DataMAX installation CD. The drivers are located in the root directory of the CD.
Once the driver installation is complete, you’re ready to use your DataMAX.
3. Preparing Memory Cards for use on Your
PlayStation
®3
8MB SONY memory cards and 8MB third party memory cards such as Datel’s MAX
Memory can be used with DataMAX without the need for preparation using the
DataMAX PC utility.
If you’re using an 8MB memory card, skip to Step Four in this section.
Larger memory cards, like 16, 32, and 64MB memory cards, need to be reorganized
into 8MB-sized virtual memory cards before they can be understood by the PS3®.
To perform the simple virtual memory card preparation, first launch the DataMAX PC
utility and follow the steps below.
Step 1 – Back Up Your Memory Card
Connect your memory card to the DataMAX memory card adapter and wait a couple
of seconds whilst the card is recognized and its contents read. When complete, the
contents of the cards are displayed in the main window.
