Installing the driver (Windows)
 
What is a driver?
 
A driver is software that allows data to be transferred between the FA-101 and 
application software running on your computer when the FA-101 is connected to your 
computer via a FireWire (IEEE 1394) cable.
The driver sends data from your application software to the FA-101, and from the FA-
101 to your application software. The driver is required in order for you to use the FA-
101 while connected to your computer.
