Thanks Jason - a good plan, and thanks for the suggestion. I cloned my hard drive and booted from that on USB3, and then updated to Yosemite for the tests. Despite all I read in advance, I managed to get CS3 versions of Photoshop, Fireworks and Illustrator all running.

If it's mission critical and/or you have a spare drive, I'd keep a clone of Mavericks all running nicely in a drawer for that time in three months you discover some weird glitch at 1 am before a deadline;)

I did this recently. I have a fraction of a bitcoin and realised the software no longer works, grabbed the nearest old clone and retrieved it to another address.

(Thing about having a Mac Pro is they last so many OSs, I have to be selective...I think I can go back to 10.6 and still boot;))
