• Collection of MP3s.
• Video files including AVI, MPEG, and QuickTime.
• Digital photographs including JPEG, BMP, and GIF.
• Other non-essential or infrequently accessed files.
To save disk space on your computer’s internal hard drive, keep the aforementioned
types of files on your FireFly. To play back your MP3s and videos, or to show your
photos, connect FireFly to any computer that has USB. This means you don’t have to
carry several CDs to an event; all you need to bring is FireFly.
Create a Boot Drive for Macintosh Computers
You can boot a Macintosh computer directly from the FireFly rather than the internal
disk drive. This means you can open your applications and files using any Macintosh
computer. You can always work in a familiar environment wherever you go; all your
settings and preferences are stored on FireFly.
To create the boot drive, copy the System Folder to the FireFly.
To boot your Macintosh computer with FireFly:
1 Connect the FireFly as described on page 12.
2 Start up the Macintosh computer while holding the Option key.
Note The following is not supported for Mac OS X 10.0 -10.1.
FireFly can be used to store and
play back all your MP3 files or other
multimedia when it is hooked up to
a computer that supports USB.
