PlainTalk: Installation and Plaintalk Disk 5 (10/93)

Article Created: 25 October 1993



When I try to install the PlainTalk software on my Centris/Quadra 660AV or
Quadra 840AV, the Installer asks for either the PlainTalk Disk 5 or the
Introduction to Speech disk. Neither of these disks were included with the
computer.

How do I install PlainTalk?

The Installer will ask for the PlainTalk Disk 5 or the Introduction to Speech
disk if you try to install PlainTalk from the PlainTalk diskettes.

You must install PlainTalk from the System Software diskettes that came with
your AV computer. Do NOT attempt to install PlainTalk from the PlainTalk
diskettes.


To install PlainTalk, you must perform a custom System Software install. To
do this, follow these steps:

1) Boot your Macintosh with the Install Me First diskette.

2) Select a custom installation.

3) Select PlainTalk only, then click Install. Swap diskettes as directed by
the software.

This will install all the necessary PlainTalk files without asking for the
nonexistent disks.
