I think the question is more related to platform than OS. I think B-D supports up to OS 9.1 currently with talk of OS X. Mark is running I believe a G3 platinum desktop 300mhz, and that unit has the issues with OS level over 8.1 that B-D is concerned with. The restore disks B-D has specific to PPC G3-300 only has OS 8.1 as the FACStations were originally sold. I personally have a G3 using OS 8.6 with no problems running CELLQuest v 3.3. Also, B-D does have a problem with the USB adaptation that I understand. Some aftermarket USB PCI adaptors have presented conflict problems, so B-D has voted not to be a referee or a testing ground. I also know if you decide to try it yourself and have down time because of it, you had better roust up a purchase order before you call B-D for help. -------------------------------------------- Bill Eades Lab Manager, Research Associate High Speed Cell Sorter Core Laboratory Siteman Cancer Center Washington University School of Medicine Campus Box 8007 660 South Euclid Saint Louis, MO 63110 Phone: (314) 362-9364 Fax: (314) 362-9333 email: beades@im.wustl.edu
