Technical Notes

Power Computing Clones

As of November 1998, Power Computing clones are no are longer recommended. Media 100 has

removed the Power Computing PowerTower Pro 225 MHz and 250 MHz from our peripherals

guide. There are several reasons for this change:

■

Power Computing clones are no longer under license with Apple Computer and will not be

tested with Mac OS 8.5 or higher. Since Apple does not manufacture or support this clone

technology, they cannot ensure quality with future operating systems. The last tested and

supported version of the operating system by Apple on Power Computing clones is OS 8.1.

■

Since Apple is the ﬁrst step in OS compatibility testing, Media 100 has no formal plans to test

the PowerTower systems with OS 8.5 or higher. We cannot guarantee its compatibility with

these systems if customers choose to upgrade.

■

The Media 100 hardware that ships with Version 5.0 or higher (P6000) does not ﬁt correctly in

the PCI chassis/card cage. Media 100 has designed this next generation card in complete

compliance with PCI speciﬁcations. The PowerTower chassis has a smaller card opening that

prevents the new hardware from being installed. Attempting to install new hardware in a Power

Computing system may result in damage to the board and will void the hardware warranty.

Customers with Power Computing systems may continue to use Version 4.5 software with OS 8.1

and Vincent hardware. If they wish to purchase a new Media 100 or upgrade their existing

Media 100 with the DV Option or SDI Option, they will receive new Media 100 hardware and

should investigate the purchase of a new Apple Macintosh computer.

Customers with Power Computing systems who wish to upgrade to Version 5.0 and higher and

stay with their existing Vincent hardware may do so. We recommend that these customers follow

the guidelines set forth at http://www.media100.com/customer/advocate/advocate37.html#5.

Future versions of Media 100 software will be tested on future versions of the Mac OS.
