Mac OS X.4
My machine crashed today. I need to rebuild the Boot Drive. I have CD’s for 10.2 but would like to upgrade to the latest version. Media 100 says it can run on a 10.3 system. Is anyone using it with 10.4?
Thanks

Yes, I’m using OS 10.4 with Media 100 8.2.2. I just finished a couple of short projects on it, and everything worked fine, even on my ancient G4 733.

I would love to try it. 🙂

If you have a running system, do yourself a favor and get a cheap internal or FireWire drive and clone your system drive to that before installing the Update. Then you can get back to a working system if there is a problem with OSX 10.4

I think others on this list reported using Media 100i (8.2.2) with OS 10.4. It’s certainly working fine for me. However, as they say, your mileage may vary. Media 100 has not officially blessed 8.2.2 and Tiger… I think the only thing they talk about now is the HD product.

I upgraded from OS9 to OSX.4 and wasn’t able to install M100 8.2.2. Media 100 told me to install it in 10.3 and all will be fine. Still waiting on Panther to arrive.

I think it is much more likely that this is related to your CPU upgrade card than to OSX 10.4 itself…

floh,
why do you feel its the cpu upgrade? everything else on the computer works great. -

Because V8.2.2 works nicely for others on 10.4 (including our short tests here), and you have taken everything else out of your CPU that could cause the problem. Plus, CPU upgrades were never officially recommended or supported by Apple.

What is there to gain from upgrading your OS? Considering everything at stake there would have to be some extremely good benefits. If 10.2x is stable why move on? If it ain’t broke don’t break it.

Because Media 100 never fixed the numlock keys issue until 8.2.2 and 8.2.2 will only run (according to them) on 10.3 or better. No one locally is still selling 10.3 so I needed to go to 10.4….
