If your Macintosh will be connected to an Ethernet network, you will require:

System Software Compatibility:
• Compatible with System 7.1–Mac ™ OS 8.1.
Note: We recommend you make a backup of important information on your
hard drive prior to installing new hardware or software. When handling computer
products, you must take care to prevent components from being damaged by static
electricity. Avoid carpeted areas, handle cards only by their edges, and avoid touching
connector traces and component pins.
If you plan to upgrade to Mac OS 8, you will need to first install the Presto Plus.
For instructions on the installation of Mac OS 8, please refer to the separate
Mac OS 8 software installation instructions packaged with the Presto Plus.
1. Insert the Presto diskette into the floppy disk drive. Double-click
the Presto Installer icon. By default the software will be installed
on the boot drive. If this is ok then click ‘Install’; otherwise, select
another drive and click ‘Install’. If the installation was successful, a
dialog box will appear. Click ‘Quit’ to leave the installer or click
‘Continue’ to perform additional installations.
The Presto Installer will install the following items:
• ‘Presto’ will be placed into the Extensions Folder.
• ‘Presto 7 Enabler’ will be placed into the System Folder.
• ‘Presto 8 Enabler’ will be placed into the System Folder.
• ‘Metronome’ will be placed into the Apple Menu Items Folder.
2. Shut down your Macintosh. If the computer has been on for any
length of time, wait a few minutes for it to cool before beginning
the installation.
3. Disconnect the power and peripheral cables from the back of the
computer and move it to an area where you can freely work.
4. Open your computer by unlatching the cover (Figure 1) and set it aside.
5. Remove the PDS access cover port from the back panel (Figure 2).
6. Touch the metal shielding of the internal power supply to discharge
any potential damaging static electricity.
7. Locate the PDS slot (Figure 3). If there is a PDS card already installed,
remove it.
8. Remove the Presto Plus card from the anti-static package, making
sure to handle the card by the edges. Note the small cutout in the
horizontal plate of the Presto Plus Ethernet connector (Figure 4).
9. Aligning the card flush with the rear of the computer, the small cutout
in the Ethernet connector plate should align directly over the small
plastic tab inline with the PDS slot (Figure 5).
