Yes you're right about this I do use 7.5.3 on the machine that I use to communnicate with my CNC equipment. I use a transfer app that just will not run beyond 7. It may be a simple fix but after 25 yrs I never could make it work. > Everymac says the only supported OS are 7.5.3+, 8.0+, and 9.0. > > Does the use of the Sonnet card extend support beyond 9.0?
