As far as I know the program works perfectly and is in use by many clients
after the graphics tablet becomes unusable or the "nib" of the pen breaks.

 

A little bit of an overkill but you could use any old PC,  even one running
Windows 98, you should be able to pick up such a beast for under $50.00 -
But yes, it would have been nice if you could run it on the Mac :o)

Hi there,

My name is NYMo from Australia, I am a newbie mfx 2 owner but have
previously owned a 
series 1, 2 and a 2 x but have sold them in the 80's.

I have now just aquired a mfx2 but it didn't come with the mfx2 controller.
It boots up fine from an external HD on the turbo scsi port (but not the
standard one) and I 
can get to the dir page. I am only really interested in the CMI side of it.

Is there ANY way I can control this without having to get a mfx2 controller
?? Via a qwerty 
keyboard and mouse ??

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers
