The last XLR8 software works fine with current OS's with the exception of OSX 10.2. The good news is Powerlogix's software works fine with the XLR8 cards. I prefer the XLR8 software for OS 9.x but use Powerlogix's for OSX. You need to use the Terminal to install it and it is a bit flaky to install. It works fine once installed.It is the only software which turns off the on motherboard L2 cache. So as long as Powerlogix is supporting their cards from this time period XLR8 cards should be fine and perhaps a bargain ! Will S -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
