Being either floweur or flower I think you guys will have to "downgrade" your Macs to make CellQuest happy. The lowest version of MacOS Pismo will take is 8.6 which will work fine with CellQuest 3.3 (not sure about 3.1). This downgrade has to be so called "clean install" with new System Folder without third party extensions. Best thing is to boot Mac with MacOS 8.6 System CD, use Drive Setup from that CD to reformat hard disk, I recommend with both "low level format" and "zero all data" options (will take couple of hours, though), then install System Software. If you are madly in love with OS 9 you can make a separate partition dedicated for it in Drive Setup -> Functions -> Customize Volumes, and after installing 8.6 boot from OS 9 CD and install MacOS 9 on that disk. Rich, don't miss the opportunity to simulate any choosen cytometer from BDPAC Control Panel on Pismo, that will let you virtually connect to that machine, acquire those funny square-shaped populations of test-pulses, but more importantly let you open different instrument settings from data files. Keep BDPACInit out of Startup Items in System Folder, you don't need it for simulation. Mr. "Zip" - Cell Quest 3.3 would work fine on G4, but EvE Init that comes with CellQuest 3.1 doesn't have a driver for EvE USB sentinel. Try to find BD FACStation software v. 3.1 CD (with CQ v. 3.3, surprisingly) before downgrading to MacOS 8.6 - that might not help at all.
