Hello All I was able to upgrade my OSX 10.0.4 to 10.1 using the Sonnet Installation software The drill is to go to the Sonnet OS X site, download the free Update V1.1,open it and it automatically updates the previous version 1.0 to V1.1( the $29 one!) Insert the CD and install as before. Piece of cake. Just follow screen prompts , provided you have NO PCI video card installed!
I was able to obtain a free copy of the OSX Update CD from my local CompUSA store ( rt 22 in Springfield, NJ) I see response time improvements in all areas except opening Classic. It still takes "forever" to open. My USB Epson printer and Kensington wheel mouse / Keyspan PCI USB card work OK, as before. I had a "problem" with browser IE5.1. When I booted up , there was no IE5 icon in the Dock. Opened IE5 in the Applications Folder., and paced icon in Doc. All worked OK. Favorites were all in place, untouched. IE5.1 screen graphic is a "grayish" color. But when I opened Apple-Mac OSX in the doc, or the Apple menu, the old 10.0.4 aqua graphic appeared but there was no URL link. Also, a second bouncing IE5 icon appeared in the Dock.Also, there were no URL links using e-mail and the browser. This tells me that I have two versions of IE5 in the system, but I can not find where. What I have done is to keep the Apple menu/ Apple Doc icon / original 10.0.4 aqua graphic in the Doc and trashed the other. All works OK as before with auto URL link opening when using e-mail or browser hyper text, etc. I assume that there is a way to select the updated IE5.1 (graphic )in 10.1, but so far can not figure out how to do it in the Apple-Unix -BSD world of OS X BTW I have an external SCSI Apple Color One scanner and an external LaCie(Yamaha) burner/ Toast configured. Has anyone developed a "patch" to use either one or both in OSX without booting back into 9.1? Also, has anyone developed a "patch" to use a PCI video card ?. Mine is an ATI Rage 128 Orion 16MB And , can the above EVER be done with an "unsupported PCI mac"? albert -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
