Re: Bowhaus OPM on older macs

2003-03-29 by Antonis Ricos

Barrett,

one of the machines I routinely use to beta test IJC / OPM is a lowly 8500 
running 9.1 and "upgraded" with a dual 601(?) chipset from a 9500. Slow but 
stable and a good way to use old hardware for printing.  As long as there is 
enough RAM for IJC (it likes approx. 110MB), it runs fine.
