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!
