Thanks Jonas - sorry it is Tiger, not a Mac guy so I'm confusing my carnivoires Yes, the 10.4 OS sees the Mac 9.1 disk very nicely, and I tried (out of desporation) physically copying all of the CD folders over to an empty hard drive, upon which the Classic OS window also found, and labeled

OK gang, I got OS 9.2 running on it's own drive now, will boot in classic mode from 10.4, or on it's own. The system does give me a heap error: Not enough memory to install heap for the USB bus, but it seems to be a non-fatal error as the system does complete it's booting. Setting extensions to

Help - Anyone with OS 9.1 install disk for a G4 Digital Audio?

2011-03-11 Thread jsmanson
If there is anyone out there with an install disk, OS 9.1, specifically for the G4 Digital Audio, I'd like to hear from you. The generic retail version does not work for this machine, it needs a special version of finder (9.1.1), and I suspect other bits as well. We can't seem to be able to build

That could be the case - the firmware has been updated on this machine. I need 9.1 because I'm trying to get a pci-gpib card working in this machine, and 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 both give me heap errors/crash on stratup. The National Instruments website that has the drivers for this card say they

Apple has removed the link for macsbug, the last version they released for Mac OS9. I have searched high and low for a copy on another server somewhere, but everything points back to the Aple FTP site. Does anyone know where I can find a copy? John -- You received this message because you are

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

Help with Mac OS9 Drivers, running in OS-X/Classic

2011-05-09 Thread jsmanson
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

Thanks Dan - Let me help with more info. The GPIB card is a national Instrument PCI-GPIB/TNT card rev K I think. The mac is a G4 Digital Audio, I have both 9.2.2 and OS-X 10.4.11. The scanner is an Optronics Colorgetter 3 plus, using a program called Colorright Pro 2.0. I'll have to dig around

The color right 2.0 software runs just fine under os 9.2.2. It will not run under classic in os x10.4.? Because the application cannot communicate with the GPIB card. There are three configurations I can try here - turn off the os9 GPIB drivers, and leave the OSX drivers on, the opposite, or the

Thanks Bruce - it is working just fine on OS9, I was just seeing if there was a 'fix' to pop this thing into a window in OS-X, and it doesn't look like it is possible. National Instruments does provide a developers toolkit, so one could I guess in theory write one, but it's probably not worth the
