Actually, Mac OS X works fine on a 7500/7300/7600/8500/8600/9500/9600 and clones with XPostFacto freeware. I run 10.1.5 on my 7500/225 (604e). 10.2 is said to need a G3 or G4 accellerator to work. http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/ So is X (or specifically Perl on X) would be a better solution for you, it IS possible. -Randy -Randy Boring [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thursby Software Systems
