SNOW LEOPARD

[paulclaude]

Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" has been published.

Is there anyone that "officially" or "unofficially" knows if:

1. Rev 3.5 IDE works with Snow Leopard
2. Compiled Rev 3.5 standalones work with Snow Leopard
3. Any related problem, suggestion, etc

Cheers

paulclaud,

from the list there are a couple of postings that say all goes well for RunRev IDE and standalones. The revlets also work if you run your browser in 32-bit mode.
I did not install Snow Leopard yet. Apparently Apple has dropped panoramas from the Quicktime Player X, and what is more important for me also quite some applescript commands. They offer the installation of an adapted version of the Quicktime Player 7, that maintains these functions.

Hi Bernd,

I've not installed Snow Leo because of the lack of Appletalk support (I've also an old, wonderful Laserwriter 4/600), and because some of my favorites apps is not yet fully compatible.

The RunRev guys didn't said anything about?

I have two major concerns about Snow Leo and Rev:

- IDE: may I encounter some error, spending a lot of time trying to correct it, unable to discover that it is caused by some Rev incompatibility with Snow Leo?
- Users will ask me soon if some of my commercial apps is compatible with MAC OS 10.6: what should be my "official" answer? "Maybe"? "I Hope"?

Cheers

Hi paulclaude,

the one thread is here:

the one about Quicktime and Snow Leopard is this one:

I would tell the customers that all looks good but just to wait maybe a week or so. On the conference in Edinburgh this will probably be a topic, albeit an informal one.
So I guess in a week or so we should know more. And more people have tried Snow Leopard/RunRev.
And besides if there were incompatibilities I think RunRev would try to fix them sooner then later (at least I hope)

I did not know that Snow Leopard does not support AppleTalk. But you could get an AppleTalk-Ethernet adapter that works quite well for me for 78 dollars:

Yes, Appletalk protocol has been dismissed with 10.6. If I've well understand the problem, this adapter should not work. It's an Ethernet to LocalTalk Bridge, so it may physically connect a Mac without LocalTalk port to an old printer. The limit of Snow Leopard is that the AppleTalk protocol is no more present, so AppleTalk packets are no more sent to devices. I think it's an OS software limit, not a connection problem.

paulclaude,

you are probably right. The adapter goes into the printer and then you can connect the printer to an ethernet. But the protocol is probably appletalk over ethernet, so if appletalk is not supported you could not print.
Maybe you can set up an old Mac as printerserver?
I get lost in all these protocols.
Sorry

I think this should be the only solution. Or simply killing the Laserwriter. Or waiting for some 3rd part AppleTalk driver in the future.

I upgraded on the release day to check everything was working ok, no problems with RunRev at all so far.

The only problems ive had have been with Parallels v3 (wont run) and the Vodafone USB phone stick, that just wont work, everything else seems fine, and all the Runrev stuff ive tried so far have been ok.
