I'm surprised that nobody replied yet. There is a tech note on the Apple's
website, in the support section. Do a search in the Tech Info Library (TIL).
I don't remember exactly, but I know that if you're using system 8 or later,
you don't need anything. Prior to 8, you also need an extension. All the
details should be in the TIL.
