[. . . ] Now it's time to expand your digital life by storing much more photos, videos, music, and files. [. . . ] With your LaCie mini drive, you can back up your computer or upgrade your storage capacity--whether it's an Apple Mac mini, a desktop computer or a laptop. MAKE YOUR MINIMUSMUS EVEN COOLER The LaCie mini drive's 4-corner crown fits seamlessly into the underside of the Apple Mac mini to create a stable, symbiotic harmonious design. The crown is an important element that prevents the drives from directly touching--thus avoiding the danger of overheating. The LaCie mini drive was brilliantly engineered to allow for a natural cooling airflow to move between these two drives; both Mac mini and LaCie mini drive stay cool and safe while in operating mode. THE OPEN RELATIONSHIP Although the LaCie mini drive was designed to fit with the Apple Mac mini, its potential goes far beyond this configuration. For cross-platform use, Windows users will need to reformat the drive in NTFS (Windows utilities) for Windows XP/2000 or in FAT32 (with Silverlining 98 for Windows 98SE/Me, or with Silverlining Pro for Mac OS 9 or Apple Disk Utilities for Mac OS X). For more information about formatting, please refer to the User's Manual. FireWire, Mac, Mac OS and the Apple logo are trademarks of Apple Computer, Inc. , registered in the U. S.
