1. Open web browser and go to http://www.pev.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk
2. On the front page there click the link "Logic FAQ HTML v0.15"
3. Read the FAQ.
Sorry to sound sarcastic! ;-) It should be that simple - its all just HTML.
It uses CSS so it may be wierd on old (generation 3) browsers, but I doubt
it... I have tested it using IE4,IE5,IE6,Opera5,Opera6,Netscape4,Netscape6
on Windows, IE on macos 9, IE and omniweb on MacOSX and opera6 on linux and
it seems to display fine. What browser/OS are you using? It shouldnt be a
'download' it should just be a normal webpage!

As it stands, the EXS can't recognize an Akai/audio (mixed-mode) CD-ROM, but
there is a relatively simple work-around:

- Use a program like CD-Copy to extract the Akai CD-ROM section and save it
to your hard drive as a disc image file.

- Use Toast (or some other CD application) to write that disc image to a CD.

- You now have an Akai-only CD-ROM that the EXS will happily read.


Pevs note :

Theres a rumor that this problem is due to a certain newer version of the
Apple CD/DVD driver. Apparently it may work fine if you revert to the old
CD/DVD driver (1.3.9) but I've heard reports that this both does and does
not work! The burning trick does seem to work in all cases though.
