Hi Tom and All,
After puzzling over the instructions for a while, I decided to just put the
SoaS for Mac that Tom sent in, and try to boot from it. It works!
I am running it on my 3+year old MacBook with the old os10.5.8 (Leopard) in its
most up to date version. You are right about it not running on a Power PC (just
had to try... that is how we found out that eToys to go does work on it). The
Power PC didn't even recognize it.
Here are a few notes from the exploring I did:
*Persistent storage worked fine!
*Record worked fine for voice recordings. Would have liked a shorter time as an
option. I assume there are no photos or videos possible at this time?
*Memorize seems to be working and is persistent over several removals and
restarts with no problems.
*Difficult to get the "frame" to appear. Takes repeated swipes into the upper
RH corner to get it to work.
*Clock Activity flashed an image for a fraction of a second, but could not get
it to work.
*Totally unable to connect to the internet. I see the 3 ad hoc networks but my
router doesn't show up at all. No problem connecting under the Mac os or on my
iPod so it has to be a problem with SoaS. Would an ethernet cable to my
modem/router solve this? I also removed my password so connection would be
easier. I trust my neighbors?
If I were able to connect under SoaS, could I download other Activities to add
them to the SoaS stick? I would really like to include the Labyrinth Activity
which is so popular in Latin America and I think would be a "winner" anywhere!
I haven't been able to get the PC SoaS version working yet because of problems
with my eeePC. It hasn't worked right since I removed MS Office earlier this
year. I will call Asus tomorrow and see if I can get it working again.
I'll be exploring more in the next few days and report on anything else I find.
Caryl
