Power Macintosh and MacX (11/95)


I'm trying to run MacX on a Power Macintosh 8100/80AV, and I'm not having any success. Is there a known problem with running MacX on a Power Macintosh? I'm running MacX version 1.2, is there a newer version I should use? I get an error saying something about the Comm tolls not loading properly.

In order for Power Macintosh to properly work with MacX 1.2, you have to use MacTCP 2.0.4 or later. We have verified that MacTCP CDEV (1.1.1) which originally came with MacX 1.2 does not work on Power Macintosh. However the MacTCP Tool 1.2 which came with MacX 1.2 is still valid to use. Also the latest version of MacX is MacX 1.5.

MacTCP can be purchased off the Retail Price List as part number:
M8113Z/A - TCP/IP Connection for Macintosh


Article Change History:
09 Nov 1995 - Added latest version of MacX.
08 Jul 1994 - Added part number for the TCP connection product.
