Important Notices
：
(i) In Windows 98/98SE, run the setup.exe first, without the unit plug in.
Installing the device while it’s plugged in may cause driver files to become
corrupted.
(ii) If you plug the KanguruMicro MP3 into the USB port and your system finds
the KanguruMicro MP3, but you are unable to access it. Please FORMAT
the KanguruMicro MP3.
(iii) Before unplugging the KanguruMicro MP3 from the USB port in Windows
ME/2000/XP
taskbar to stop the device. Otherwise, it may result in losing data that
you have saved on the KanguruMicro MP3. (Please refer to 2.6.)
(iv) Linux uses a so-called "USB Manager", which automatically loads kernel
modules (drivers) for USB devices. It loads only drivers for devices that
are present on the USB bus to reduce memory usage. Per default, the
USB Manager does not come with the USB Drive pre-configured.
However, you can easily configure the USB Manager to automatically
recognize the USB Drive yourself. Just add the following to the
configuration file,
usbmgr.conf (usually in /etc/usbmgr): vendor 0xd7d product 0x100
module scsi_mod, usb-storage
, make sure you go to the remove icon (green arrow) in the
This line identifies the USB Drive and tells the USB Manager to load the
SCSI as well as the USB storage module. The SCSI module is needed in
order to talk to both SCSI and USB storage devices, while the usb-storage
module is needed to talk to USB storage devices.
Do not forget to either reload the USB Manager's configuration or to restart the
USB Manager (for instance, do as root: /etc/init.d/usbmgr reload).
