Jack,
The iMacs are not standard PCs due to the way that Apple forces the BIOS
to be set up to try to keep OS X from being run on "industry standard"
hardware. If only Steve Jobs years ago would have just let go of the
Apple proprietary firmware code, we would all be running MACs or at
least Apple's OS instead of Windows. With 85% of the world running
Windows OS, Apple is still running on a closed OS market, and small at
that, I think that Apple's market share is in the 5 to 8% range of
total desktop market.
So with Boot Camp from Apple (and their drivers included) you are able
to run XP, but it is still not a "standard" PC. Apple could make a
BIOS change, and Boot Camp would cease working.

Doesn't an Intel-based Mac, running Windows XP, fit this definition? I
have a Macbook Pro and an Imac and I was going to try them with my F3K.
Why is Intel-based Mac hardware, using Win XP, unsupported?

Folks,
As per the FlexRadio Users Reflector description (http://www.flex-radio.com/Support.aspx?topic=Reflector_Description), any discussion regarding the operation of FlexRadio's products on unsupported hardware, such as the iMacs needs to be moved to the FlexEdge Reflector.
Thank You.
