@Alan Mancus posted:you can use windows 10 or apple but most people use windows 10, you must also download the driver for usb communication for your MTH service loader to talk to your computer to be able to download the sound file , com port 2 3 4 depends what your computer uses ! see below for attached usb driver !
ps you will also need 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm cord for setting up tiu to transfer files and usb to RS 232 cord to connect computer for usb communication !
The only way to use an IOS (Apple) computer is using Windows emulation, the DCS Consumer Loader is strictly a Windows application.
You only need the 3.5mm stereo cable is to update the software in the TIU, it's not required for loading sound or chain files.
If you're using a PS/3 steam upgrade kit, the chain files should already be loaded, so you just have to load a PS/2 3V or PS/3 sound file to match your locomotive type.
If you have a Windows 10 computer, the stock USB drivers work for a Rev. L TIU. If you're using an earlier TIU, you'll need a computer with a serial port or a USB to Serial adapter.
