Re: Mac Mini with Mac OS Rom ?

[Rod Lavington]

Hi Bob,

Is it a PPC or Intel Mac Mini?

If its PPC, then it is likely that Classic needs to use the ROM.  If it is
Intel, then it should not be there at all, seeing as Intel Macs cannot use
Classic (except with Sheepshaver).

Seeya

Rod!

Mac Mini with Mac OS Rom ?

[Robert Howells]

Hi Guys & Girls ,

The Mac Mini only ever boots in OSX ... RIGHT  ?

So is there any reason for a copy of Mac OS Rom to be in the 
System Folder 


( other than it was installed in error  from a different Mac systems  
installer disk ? )


Thank you

Bob

Scanner trouble with photoshop

[Robert Howells]

Hello everyone,

Thanks to those who responded about the CD for Epson 2400 .
I now have the disk , but am still in trouble .

Running 10.4.8 on a Mini with OS9.2.2 Classic .

I have loaded the latest drivers and tried a number of sequences , like
OS9 driver first , followed by OSX Driver , followed by SMart  
Panel ,  etc , etc.


Absoluteley no joy with the Smart Panel .

So I can access the Scanner perfectly OK from Vuescan in OSX ,
or by Import via Twain from Photoshop 7 in OSX
or by Import via Twain from Graphic Converter in OSX

but NO joy from Photoshop 5.5   in ...   OS9 ..

It should be possible because I can do it from my G5 ... with one  
difference

I do not have Photoshop 7 .

Any suggestions gratefully received ... !

This is a help job for a struggling Mac user . who knows how to use  
Smart Panel ,

but not so good on the other .

I get a message that the scanner is not installed .  It's as though  
the USB path has a hole in it !


Checked that it is not held by another App , and that appears to be  
the case . ( NOT held )


?


Thanks

Bob
