Hello to all,

With the advice from Juan Gea-Banacloche, NIAID, I was able to download the
correct drivers to get our iMac to run CellQuest.  So if you're interested,
here's what I did on an iMac running MAC OS 8.5.1:

1.  Visit http://www.griffintechnology.com/imac/imate.html.  Download the
latest iMac firmware upgrade and the latest iMate driver.    

2.  Remove or disable old iMate drivers.  If you have pre-1.0.x versions of
iMate Enabler and iMate USB Module, trash them.  The new iMate driver
(v.1.2) replaces both with a single extension.

3.  Install the iMac upgrade onto your hard-drive.  This upgrade will give
you MAC OS ROM v. 1.2.1.  Simply install into your System Folder.

4.  Shut down the iMac.  I have the iMac keyboard connected into the USB #1
port.  I have the iMate connected into the USB#2 port with the Cellquest
dongle connected.  (I suspect Modfit dongle will work as well, although I
haven't tried this yet.)  

5.  Restart the iMac.  Watch the extensions load.  You should see an
extension with the ADB symbol.  If it isn't covered by a "red-X", Cell-Quest
will work.  

6.  If you see the ADB symbol covered by a "red-X",  try opening the iMate
Troubleshooting file, and follow the suggestions.  This worked for me.  Just
be sure to shut down and then re-boot the computer.  (I had some trouble at
first, maybe restarting from Special Menu didn't take the first time.)

Good Luck to all interested parties and Thank You for the web site!
