To FACScan/FACSort/Calibur users, Earlier this year I posted a query regarding communication problems we had been having between our PMac 7600 and FACSort. These were overcome by upgrading to CellQuest v3.0d1 and a new EPROM. Recently we received an upgrade to CellQuest v3.1f and unfortunately the problem (plus others) has recurred. It is sporadic, but often we have to shutdown the PMac 4-5 times before it sees the FACSort. Sometimes in the middle of acquisition communication fails, with the software saving empty files or turning itself to standby. BD are working with us to fix this problem - they recommend that we upgrade to System 7.6.1 (we are currently on 7.5.3). They have also suggested that we get rid of all non-BD software on the PMac but that is not really an option as I cannot justify a PMac solely for this purpose (it is also our labs work-horse computer - when not being used for FACS). My question is does anyone else with a PMac and a FACScan/FACSort/Calibur successfully use 7.5.3, or has anyone found upgrading the system helped the problem? Has anyone successfully used the latest Mac OS (OS 8, I think) with CellQuest? Tthe FACSort is booked solidly all week so this is causing several delays and giving me, as custodian of the machine, a major headache. Thanks in advance, Michelle JJR, Sydney, Australia
