1.	If you received the DAS-12.1.0.I.bsd.tar.gz file via NeXTmailä or downloaded via FTP or another electronic source, place a copy of the file in a location where you can access it when you log in as root.
2.	Log in as root.
	Only the superuser, root, can install the device drivers. If you're not sure how to log in as root, see your system administrator.
3.	Uncompress and unarchive the DAS-12.1.0.I.bsd.tar.gz file.
4.	Double-click the DAS-12.config in DAS-12Driver directory. It automatically launches Configure.app and copies the driver into the /NextLibary/Devices directory.
