Hi guys, A plea for help. Anyone know if you can use one mac os cd on 2 macs or does it check up on the internet to stop piracy? Also, is there anything special you need to do to connect a mac to a pc network, software wise. Also which OS would be best for a 3 year old i-mac (those transparent coloured series), I think it came with version 7, would 8/9 run too slow? Cheers, Ceri |

pc's can talk to apples with a prog called pcmaclan i don't know about the other questions - i'm an apple n00b... |

I've joined Macs to a PC network, but that was years ago and I don't know how to do it now :( |

works fine...i'm in a corp where 6 macs use same Os |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and i think as long as it's 300MHz+ Os 10.2 will work fine |
||||||||
|
|

basicaly it's a pc network that will provide the internet and all the PC users have just plugged in and it works. Mac users seem to need some software or something for this to work (the physical connection is okay). Any recommendations? |
||||||||
|

|
the network i'm on is PC-network...it will work fine if the proxy is setup right |
||||||||
|

|
|
what OS are you using? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
os x 10.2 handles all that internally i think, no extra software needed. If it's less than 300MHz install 9.2.2. You'll need pcmaclan then (i think). |
||||||||

|
well...the internet will work fine if it's OS 9+ but the filesharing between PC and mac is built in after X |

At work I've connected a Mac to a Pc using a program called DAVE Sharing. I can hunt down a link if needed. It does the job and hasn't failed me yet. |

you could have your PC setup with Linux? that's if you wanted Linux on your box that is my mate setup IP masquerading and it works perfect in SuSE 8 it does it automatically |

Damn, yes, I'd forgotten about that, I read about that in mac user. Isn't it a pro business thing (not freeware) Oscillik: Sadly it's the case that he (my mate) has no control over the pcs (uni server & other users PCs) he want to connect with a mac, so any solution would have to be something you can apply on the mac... Is Linux any good for music creation software (I know that's not what it was designed for...)? |

I know that there is some Trackers for Linux... :) |

http://xmp.sourceforge.net/ "Linux Trackers" at the bottom. |

|

I want to use my amiga as a tracker element (dreams of room big enough to spread all music equipment around him) :) I've never been very good with trackers, the nearest I've used and got half way decent reults out is ACiD... Not those archaic numbers & grid things! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Trackers = Numbers and grids.... ONLY Anything else isnt a real tracker :P Btw, I hope you can sample onto that Amiga of yours, and yes... they take up a shitload of space! |

Just one more note about OS 10.2 upgrades - while looking into upgrading, I was told by several mac specialists that though apple.com gives a specification of 128 minimum RAM, that at least 256 is highly recommended for the OS to work quickly. 10.2 does run on the 'flavored' iMacs, provided they run at least 300MHz, have 3GB empty space and have enough memory. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also recommend at least 256 MB of RAM for OSX.2 You can run the OS CD on as many computers as you want - there is no anti-piracy coding on the discs. |

Do you want to try and make a copy for you? |
||||||||

Yeah, I bought an amiga sampler off Loogie from this MB. I've still got to get an amiga harddisk- working on floppy is so limiting :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Who's Loogie? Harddrives make things so much easier of course! cause the floopies are hell slow! My HDD just stoped working :-\ |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
loogie used to post here on V4. HE still comes by occassionaly. Oh dear, sorry to hear about the HD. Thankfully I've never had a HD failure on my PCs... |
