Tascam US-428 Installation Procedures

TASCAM US-428 Driver Version 3.2.1

Installation/Removal Procedures for Mac OSX 10.2.3 or later

The file (US428_OSX_3_21.sit) is a self-extracting archive, which means that Stuffit will automatically expand the file once it is finished downloading it. Once unStuffed, OSX’s Disk Copy application will mount the disk image on the desktop and open the folder.

Before installing the 3.2.1 drivers, remove any older version, if one is present.

To remove an older version:

1. Double-click on the ‘US-428 Remover’ icon.

2. If necessary enter your Name and/or Password in the ‘Authenticate’ window to allow software changes under Mac OS10.x and then click ‘OK’.

US-428 and then click ‘Continue’ to advance to the next window.

4. ‘Select a destination disk’ – refers to the disk from which you want the files removed. Select the appropriate disk and click ‘Continue’.

Installation’ or pressing ‘Return’. If you do not wish to continue you may click ‘Cancel’ at this point.
