Frankly OS X is still way too dangerous. I suggest everyone downgrade as soon as possible to a G4 capable of running System 9 and FreeMIDI. I'll let you know on this thread when it's safe to use OS X.

Now you tell us. I just updated everything I have to the latest versions, and erased all the old stuff. It all works perfectly, so there must be something wrong.

Yep... you've just been lucky. It's highly unstable. Best thing you could do is send all your VIs and third party software to me. Just send me the serial numbers and transfer the iLok licenses to my account so I can run special software to deactivate them so that nobody else might accidentally install them and be somehow damaged or incur hardship.

That seems the best thing at this point. I'm stressed out.

It might need a fresh battery.[/quote]

An interesting thought-- I haven't had any trouble starting the computer or problems with date and time or other settings, though. Unless you mean a different battery?

jflandau it sounds like it may be a battery to me also.

James you got a case of silly.

I had so much trouble with OS9 always conflicts making the system crash.

Not the mac's battery, but the battery in the 24i/o (if it has one). I used to have trouble with my old 2408 losing its settings and not communicating with the mac, a new battery fixed all that.

Can't find any mention of a battery in the documentation or anywhere on the web. This is of a similar vintage to the 2408, however, so it might very well have one. I'll have a look...

Mac OS v. 6.0 - the only way to go - Rock solid. and the MultiFinder is so cool.

The only reason I'm even on mac is because of OSX. I'm not having problems with it. James I'm rather surprised to hear that you are still on OS9, or are you kidding around?

Kidding? James??

I remember when OS 7 came out. It was advertised to be a revolutionary change with Finder and the operating system and lots of people were afraid to make the upgrade.

It turned out to be nowhere near as difficult a transition as the jump from OS9 to OSX and then the jump from PowerMac to Intel. I'm still suffering the woes of the latter.

Definitely kidding.

Although I'm sad to see it when we lose really cool apps of features when developers decide to abandon a product rather than go through the agony of pushing it on through the newest OS hurdles presented by Apple. One cool thing is that toward the end of System 9, there was a whole bunch of very mature apps due to the stability of the platform to that point.
