easiest way to get a Mac Os program onto a non-newtworked Os 8.6 machine.
Hi gang, this should be easy. I want to send a program written for mac OS 7.5 - 9.2.2 to a couple of buddies of mine that are running old Mac 8100's, one of them is using OS 8.6, I think the other one is the same. These folks are not techinclally savvy, so I'm looking to do this the easiest way as possible. These machines are not networked, not sure I have the time to show them how to do that! The program file in question is a .hqx file, so I thought that I would start by doing the decompression myself on my G4, and then burning the uncompressed files to a CD and mailing it to them. I am a windows user, I can burn a cd no problem from that machine, which is networked to the mac through DAVE (on 9.2.2), or I can use OS- X as well. I'm not sure, but I don't think the mac G4 Digital Audio has a burner in it, I think it's just a reader. So,,, Can I just create a windows formatted CD, will that be read in Os 8.6, or do I need to format that CD to a Mac style format, somehow from windows, assuing I have to do this on the windows machine? The other option is a little flash drive, would that be simpler, will a 500mb flash drive 'work' in these older machines, or will I have to get them to install drivers etc etc. in which case it's probably not worth going that route. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Help with Mac OS9 Drivers, running in OS-X/Classic
Thought I would at least give this a try. The standard blurb about running OS9 applications in classic mode in Tiger is they will ususally work, except for scannnig applications. Right. I have a scanning application that I want to run in Os9/Classic Mode. Why? 'Cause they say it can't be done I guess! The application needs one important bit of hardware, a GPIB driver for a PCI-GPIB card. Of course, drivers are available for both OS-X 10.4, as well as OS9 for this hardware, and they work fine in their native modes, but I'm wondering what kind of tomfoolery is needed to coax those OS9 drivers to work within an OS-X 'window'. I have tried completely disabling the GPIB drivers in OS-X, hoping that OS-X won't 'look' at that card, and seeing if the OS9 drivers can then take over the card and control it, but so far without success. The OS9 GPIB extension does seem to load fine when the OS9 is created within OS-X, so that looks promising... I'm working on a thoery that this is possible to do as the makers of the adb-usb adaptor, imate, the griffin folks, were able to get this similar configuration to work by writing a driver for OS-X that allows OS9 Applications to take control of the device. That's what I need! Perhaps there is a work around or techinque that might allow this for the GPIB drivers. I'm using a national Instruments PCI-GPIB card. Or, perhaps the other option might be to use a plug and play version of GPIB, and only plug it in when the application needs it, wonder if that would work?? I think there are USB version's of GPIB hardware out there somewhere Any ideas folks?

I'm sorry, I take some of that back. I didn't have a chance to read up on it till now.

This was all done in the press as minor stories back in January. It's only now that they've picked it up again during this slow news cycle. Ok... The facts: ARM is an up and coming architecture whoze implementation is getting faster and faster with each generation. However, it is currently 32-bit only. Back in January, at CES in Las Vegas, ARM made the announcement that they're going 64-bit and their intention is to get into the server-grade processor market. ETA for delivery is a year or less. At that same CES, Microsoft announced they're going to port Windoze to ARM. No ETA commitment. A few microseconds later, a loud *plotz* was heard from one end of Intel's management to the other, and the higher mucketies probably choked on their skittles. So much for the facts. Now the guesswork, however founded it may be: Apple has little tolerance for companies that fail to make their commitments. eg: It is believed the main reason for the switch to Intel x86 is that IBM/Moto/Freescale fell behind their own delivery commitments, unable to produce faster low-power (laptop) class processors etc. eg2: Last year's MBA had the same'ole Core 2 Duo a second time around. hum. Apple's experience with the 68x-ppc and ppc-x86 transitions have given it the tools necessary to make moving onto another platform s easy. IOW, Apple is pretty much architecture independent. All that matters is performance - speed and power. Of course, that makes Intel's recent 3d transistor announcement silly hype. The bottom line is what's fastest. iOS is based on a stripped down fork of Mac OS X. And quite a few touch-screen type features are being moved from iOS into Lion (OS X 10.7). ETA this summer. Now, why would Apple have any interest in maintaining *two* operating systems? That's a lot of unnecessary work! And remember that patent for the touch-screen iMac? Yea, baby! After Lion, or perhaps during Lion's life cycle, there will be a complete merge of iOS' features into OS X. So... The state of the art by this summer will be... 32-bit ARM at the low end, and 64-bit Sandy Bridge x86 at the high end. Atom is a joke. Ivy Bridge is coming. Faster ARM is coming. 64-bit ARM is coming! My bet: IF Intel gets its butt in gear and is on time delivering Ivy Bridge and its follow-ons -- ie, faster low power x86 processors, then Apple will stick with them. But if Intel blinks, and 64-bit ARM beats one of their that x86 generation, Apple will move ARM into the MacBook, MacBook Pro, and iMac lines during the next release cycles. That's right... iPod, iPhone, iPad, MacBook, MacBook Pro, and iMac will become the same product line, +/- a few peripherals and a dock. As to the speculation of who fabricates what... pt. Doesn't matter. ARM makes no chips! All that fabrication is out-sourced anyway, generation by generation. As Atom fails, Intel will have more and more fabrication capacity available. Bidding war.

Usually, you add a PCI video card to run a second monitor, where you don't need high performances. Would this upgrade (noticeably) speed up games like Civ 3 or Sims? Mhhh... those kind of games shouldn't be very much 3D intensive (compared to games like Doom or Halo, I mean). So they could be more relying on CPU power; hence, the improvement could be relative (I could be wrong, thou). However, the video cards you mentioned are so much better than your FX 5200, that you'll get some improvement for sure. And it will be an investment for the future (keeping your G5 usable for a longer time). -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: I am forced to go Intel? Common rant, I guess.
I moved to Intel, but there is no way I'm ever going to pay Apple prices. You can pick up a PC for under $100 and run Leopard on it. That is the cheapest way to go Intel. -Jonas -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

I haven't encountered any problems with the final PPC Adobe Flash 10.1.102.64. What problems have you encountered? Didn't document but an online mainstream newspaper asked for 10.2. I did just install 10.1.102.64, so will see how that does. Web sites are starting not to work under Leopard and Firefox Camino 2.0.7, Firefox 3.6.17, Safari 5.0.5. don't play well with ANY Macs Could be that. It was an online retail merchant, couldn't get to the Shopping Cart.

Re: I am forced to go Intel? Common rant, I guess.
I'm using a machine with an Intel D915GAG board. Fully supported, though I'm only running Leopard. I installed with IPC 10.5.6. Here is the guide I posted on my blog. I posted guides for a few other cheap Hackintosh machines. If you want to buy a complete machine that will work, I suggest the Dell Optiplex GX280. The only hardware you will need is an OSX supported ethernet card. http://www.jonasulrich.com/ -Jonas -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
