NOTE: The Acuma Plugin Kit disks only install the Acuma Plugins. 
See the Mackie Plugin Download Page for D8B Plugin Requirements. 

Refer to Mackie's Main D8B Download Page for D8B OS instructions.

Follow these steps if you are downloading onto a Mac OS™ computer: 

Download the self-extracting file: d8b_Service_Pack_3 (4.5 MB) 
To expand the HQX file, you need Stuffit Expander™ (http://www.aladdinsys.com/) . If Stuffit Expander does not launch automatically at the completion of the download, then drag the HQX file onto the Stuffit Expander™ icon. Stuffit Expander™ creates a file called Plugin d8b_Service_Pack_3.sea, and a folder titled d8b_Service_Pack_3. Drag the SEA file to the trash can. 
Launch Apple's Disk Copy utility (you may need to download the Disk Copy utility from http://www.apple.com. or check the system installations disks that came with your system). 
Label one double sided, high density 1.44MB freshly PC formatted floppy disk as "Disk 1", a second PC formatted floppy as "Disk 2", and a third PC formatted floppy as "Disk 3". 
Depending on your version of Disk Copy, either click on the "Load Image File..." button or choose "Make a Floppy" from the Utilities menu. 
Locate the image folder labeled d8b_Service_Pack_3 that was extracted onto your hard drive, select the SP3_Disk1.img file, and click "Choose". 
Insert Disk 1 into the floppy drive when prompted. With older versions of Disk Copy you may need to click on the "Make a copy" button first. 
Disk Copy will eject the floppy when it has finished making the image. Remove Disk 1, and repeat steps 5 through 7, using Plugin SP3_Disk2.img to create Disk 2. 
Disk Copy will eject the floppy when it has finished making the image. Remove Disk 2, and repeat steps 5 through 7, using Plugin SP3_Disk3.img to create Disk 3. 
With the D8B powered off, insert installation Disk 1 into the D8B floppy drive, and power up the D8B. 
The D8B will boot into the installer program automatically. Follow the prompts on the LCD screen. 
Insert Disk 2 into the floppy drive when prompted, and select "Continue". 
Insert Disk 3 into the floppy drive when prompted, and select "Continue". 
When the D8B has completed reading all three installer disks, it will ask you if you want to install Plug-in Service Pack 3. Press "OK" to finish the installation, or "Cancel" to cancel the installation without writing any files to disk. 
When the installation is complete, remove Disk 3 from the floppy drive and power cycle the D8B. 


Note to Macintosh USB Floppy drive users: 
Apple's Disk Copy program will not work using the above method with a USB floppy drive because the menu option "Make a Floppy..." will not be available. You must use Aladdin Systems' ShrinkWrap program available for purchase and trial download from Aladdinsys. Once you have ShrinkWrap installed substitute these steps for steps 3-9 in the above directions. 

3.   Launch ShrinkWrap. 
4.   Label one double sided, high density 1.44MB freshly PC formatted floppy disk as "Disk 1", a second PC formatted floppy as "Disk 2", and a third PC formatted floppy as "Disk 3". 
5.   Select "Write Image back to Disk..." from the Image menu (command-B). 
6.   Locate the image folder labeled d8b_Service_Pack_3 that was extracted onto your hard drive, select the Plugin SP3_Disk1.img file, and click "Select". 
7.   Insert Disk 1 into the floppy drive when prompted. 
8.   ShrinkWrap will eject the floppy when it has finished making the image. Remove Disk 1, and repeat steps 5 through 7, using Plugin SP3_Disk2.img to create Disk 2, and again using Plugin SP3_Disk3.img to create Disk 3.
