They also said (about the companion software):

Note: copying a folder to the device is not allowed because the database information the device needs cannot be created.
The manual seems to be implying that connection to a Windows PC and using the companion software is the only fully functional way to use the device. It does not include anything about how to use a DR1000S from a Mac or Linux.

On the other hand the FAQ says:
Quote:
Q: Is there support for Linux and Mac and how will it work with these operating systems?
A: The device will be recognized as a mass storage device but the pre-installed Windows application from the SD-card will not be functional.
