TOPIC


    Customers that purchase the Adjustable Keyboard for the Quadra 660AV/840AV
    will not have full functionality of the keyboard. Currently during the
    "Happy Mac" process for Quadra 660AV/840AV systems we do not load the
    "Record Button" extension. Therefore, customers who plug in the keyboard
    out of the box will not be able to use the record button on the Adjustable
    Keyboard to record sounds.

    Furthermore, customers will not be able to use the installer disk that is
    shipped with the Apple Adjustable Keyboard because some of the resources
    included on the Adjustable Keyboard Installer disk are older than what is
    currently being shipped with the Quadra 660AV/840AV systems. Customers
    will get a message saying "The software to be installed is older than the
    software on the currently selected system, this installation is not
    allowed." The only option for the customer is to quit the installation
    process.


DISCUSSION


    WORKAROUNDS:

    In order for customers to take advantage of all of the features of the
    Apple Adjustable Keyboard they will need to do either one of two things:

    Option 1
    --------
    Use the "System Update 2.0.1" diskette to install the Adjustable ╩Keyboard
    resources. The customer will need to do a "Customize" ╩╩install and select
    the "Apple Adjustable Keyboard Update." This will also update the "Sound"
    control panel from v8.0 to v8.0.1.

    Option 2
    --------
    Drag copy the "Record Button" Extension to the "Extensions" folder of the
    Quadra 660AV/840AV. The file is located on the Adjustable Keyboard
    Installer diskette in a folder called "Keyboard Files."

    NOTE: It is NOT necessary for AV customers without the Apple Adjustable
    Keyboard to run the "System Update 2.0.1" installer disk.
