Just so you know the machines that Ryan spends time on to work the
kinks out is kind of random. He can't afford to go buy one of every
machine so he can work on it. He sometimes works with people like he
did me to include support for the Umax S900/ J700 machines . I seem
to remember someone gave him the 6500 machine fairly recently. I get
the impression he did the work on the power books because he had one
laying around the house. So it wouldn't hurt to send Ryan a note
telling him you own a 6500 machine and would be willing to help with
beta testing software ...
Glad to hear Apple talk works on your machine in OSX. Will S
