Newtek! A name from the past that continues to try to stay alive in
the world of intensely competitive 3D Model Rendering/Animation/
Compositing/Video Post Processing world. Considering the processing
power needed to run modern versions of LightWave 3D (or any other
company's 3D software), I would think that anyone wanting to run that
class of software would be running it on a more powerful (probably x86/
x64) computer architecture, instead of a G4 PPC machine running
MacOS9.x, but then I still have a couple of Motorola 68060 @50MHz
Amiga computers with LightWave3D installed on them that get booted
once or twice a year, so who am I to criticize anyone wanting to run
LightWave 3D on their G4 PowerMac's.

In my case I use a CAD/CAM program $15,000.00 that incorporates a

No work around for this dongle extension in Classic so far. I would
think after 20+ years it could be done but no cigar:-)
Don't know anything about Rainbow Sentinel dongles, but a company
that was founded here in Topeka, NewTek, uses these dongles for
their LightWave software, and they have a way to use LightWave in
Classic as long as the USBSentinel, RainbowUSBSHim are located in
the OS 9 extensions folder, and the Eve3.framework from the OS X
Sentinel Driver installer package is installed for OS X. This may
work for you? See here:
