In brief, Windows supports many of the Apple "Postscript" laser printers; check the Windows' printer setup for a list of printers, then look for the "Apple" printers, for specific models. Non-Postscript printers include all of the Apple inkjet printers (all Stylewriters), and some of the oldest laser printers. Regarding impact or dot-matrix printers, you can with effort hook an Imagewriter or Imagewriter II to your Windows system via the SERIAL port; select the C.

The very short answer is: you can't do this easily. There are problems between the USB-to-serial stuff; problems with printer drivers; and problems with OS X (or OS 9, etc) not knowing about either. The G3's, G4's and iMacs do not have the old Apple "DIN-8" connector (serial Localtalk) for modems and printers. These later Macs either use USB or Ethernet. Regarding the DIN-8 and Appletalk, see a related FAQ question for a description of that port. I don't describe Ethernet or USB.

Yes. You can use any Jabber program, and there are lots available, many free. We recommend Pandion for Windows users as it is all set up and ready to go. For other packages, the details you need to know are: port: 5222 with TLS encryption (prefered), or port: 5223 with SSL encryption (if your client doesn't support TLS) For Mac users, you can use iChat, but may prefer Pandion, which is good for Jabber instant messaging but doesn't handle the chatrooms very well.

I have a Roland music synthesizer. I am looking for an external SCSI drive with a 25 pin (DB-25) connector....

Yes. Tailored Interiors is powered by 4D server technology. One of the distinct advantages of 4D is its ability to run on both Apple and Windows operating systems. Back to top

Use the system control panel to select IP LPR/LPD printing, with the printer address set to print.math.utah.edu and the queue name set to the same name that you use in Unix.

For a printer to work on your Mac, your Mac's operating system needs to have a "driver" for that printer. Additional software may be needed as well: check your operating system manual for details. For info on a printer's features, or on the OS, check Apple's Web site for the manual and or software. Both are available for download. I have on my Web site a list of Mac Web pointers which includes Apple's sites. Also check my list of paper manuals and Apple software that I offer for sale.

The only other issue is what version of the operating system you run. Macs with lots of memory and PowerMac models can run System 6, 7, and often 8. The Classic and most Compact Mac models will only support a few to several MB of memory, so you will most likely run System 6 or some version of System 7. All of these allow the use of printer extensions (drivers selected by "chooser") for most Stylewriter model inkjets.

We do our best to make WebQuest compatible with Apple Macintosh computers. You are probably having a problem caused by the web browser you use. If you are using Microsoft's Internet Explorer for the Mac, please be aware that this browser will not work with WebQuest. Please do not try to use it, it will not save your answers. That browser is obsolete, as Microsoft stopped upgrading it several years ago. If you have another browser installed on your computer, give it a try.

Reading Apple II 5.25" floppies on a Mac requires the addition of special hardware. One company, Kennect, did make two drives that would handle this trick: the Drive 360 and the Drive 1200. They were primarily meant for reading 5.25" PC disks but were also advertised as having the ability to read Apple II DOS 3.3 and ProDOS floppies. Both required a device called the "Rapport", which plugged into the Mac's external floppy port and also gave the internal 3.

A11) Windows CE contains the command line NET function. See the NET Command line Application Note or any of the current product Manuals.

Sooner or later, most people who own an S-100 system need to transfer a file to or from a DOS or Windows (or Macintosh or whatever) computer. A Google search of comp.os.cpm "groups" will find a discussion of this very topic that last occurred in early 2003. It's an old topic. Most people who need to establish serial file transfers to or from a CP/M system (or N* DOS system) of ANY sort end up doing something like this: get a SIMPLE file transfer program onto their CP/M system.

IOMega ZIP drives and ZIP disks may offer you a way to move megabyte-sized files from old Macs to new Macs, or from your Mac to a Windows/Pentium PC. Check my Web page for Mac hard drives, the ZIP drive section via this link for the ZIP drives I offer. I have drives for old Mac internal or external use, and for Windows systems too. For a bit more discussion, check the discussion above on recovering files from drives.

Mac users have the ability to save to and remotely access Windows Home Server. The Windows Home Server Console and pre-configured PC automatic backups works on Windows Vista and Windows XP.

For most classes, no. However, if you are taking a Computer Science course that requires a specific operating system, such as Windows, you can't use a Mac. Check with the instructor of the course if you are unsure. Also, at this time, most of the proprietary course content used in the Math 55 and 65 online courses cannot be accessed on a Mac.

The University uses Windows computers in most departments, so we generally recommend Windows systems. If you have used Apple Macs and like them you might want to stay with Macs. For more advice see Advice for owners of Apple Mac computers.

Forms on disc is only available in a version for MS Windows. The Mac is a great computer, unfortunately, there aren't nearly as many Mac users as there are Windows users (Bill Gates isn't the richest man in the world for nothing). This is especially true for business users and is a business fact of life for software companies. So where does that leave me? You ask. Well, there are a number of programs out there that allow the Mac to emulate a Windows PC and run Windows programs.

Yes. In April 2005 we started to deliver our courses using the Online Course Campus. For the first time this makes our courses available to participants using any major operating system. There is no longer the requirement to have a Windows PC.

I am not an expert on the Macintosh system, so I can not answer questions regarding webcams on the MAC.

This software is not supported. It is unlikely that Information Services can answer any queries on the software. The software is listed because it is known to be in use within the University. There is no documentation or training available from Information Services.

Microsoft Digital Rights Management (DRM) licence system is not fully supported on Mac OS, some limitations apply to MAC users, most specifically the ability to download clips is not available. This means that MAC users of this service should ensure they have sufficent bandwidth to stream the clips used. This is usually the result of a configuration on your PC.

We are afraid for the time being, SiteWizard is not compatible with Apple Macintosh Machines, this is due to the editor using Internet Explorer technologies that are only made available on PC based machines. Our development team are currently working on version three of the SiteWizard system that will be available to use on the Apple Mac.

Yes, as long as you are running some form of Windows Emulation Software such as Virtual PC. This then enables you to install and operate PC software applications like CashManager. See you Apple Mac provider for more information on the Windows Emulation Software available.

We do not have a version of our software specifically designed for the MAC. However, many of our players successfully play problem free by using a PC emulator. Our understanding is that both SoftWindows and VirtualPC work very well with our software.

The internet was designed to allow computers to communicate with each other regardless of operating system. This is done using standard protocols like smtp and http. As long as you have an internet connection, a web browser (and you must have these if you are looking at this web page), and a web design program you can use any web host and this includes edshosting.co.uk.

We do not build Apple MAC computers. We have found with over 10 years of experience that these machines do not offer reasonable stability or value for money for computer users. Many years ago, MACs were the machine of choice, but PCs have come a long way and now offer superb stability, performance and value for money.

We support both Windows and MAC through our onsite service. Our remote service is only available for Windows at this time.

Yes. This radio works with Apple's Airport Wi-Fi connection to seamlessly link to the internet. It will also stream and play music stored on your Mac.
