Hi Mark,

I never bothered to ugrade with the PCI card but I certainly run
CellQuest under systems later than 8.1. All my benchtops are running
system 9.1; my Vantage runs 9.0.4 and I have a G4 running 9.2.
I have used both CellQuest 3.3 and CellQuestPro on the Vantage so it
does work (although CQPro does have a few glitches). As new BD
benchtops, at least in the UK, seem to come with 9.1 installed I assume
that BD should support that (but maybe I should never assume anyhting!).
