Hello powergeeks, Does anyone know the oldest mac OS that will run on a powerwave? We have some software that runs on a Mac IIci, but for some reason it keeps losing the printer. The software will not run on 8.0 or newer. The Mac IIci and the software run on 7.5. Or in the alternative, does anyone have an idea why the printer settings keep going wacky in the Mac IIci? PRAM battery?
OS 7.5.5 should work on both the 2Ci and the PowerWave (which is essentially a Mac 8500).
As for the printer settings, yes, the pram battery should be checked (by noting the date after new startup. If 1904 or 1956, either the pram battery is kaput, or the pram has been zapped without resetting the date)
I'd also trash the printer preferences, and any preferences associated with the driver software, and see if new preferences make a difference (new ones are created when the app is next launched).
It's heartening to know these older computers are still up and running and doing useful service...good going Wayne !!
Cheers...Michael
