    Major startup problems

    I'm not sure what kind of progress OS X has made yet, but I know at least with some original os X installs, even having the scsi CARD installed would cause it to hang. Seeing as you can start from the cd, this seems less likely, but its something to consider.

    How to launch a script on startup?

    MAKE SURE your script backgrounds whatever it starts up. OSX is not very smart in regards to things like this yet, and it WILL NOT fork things it starts up automatically... and I've got news for you, this is a very painful thing to forget. If you put a script in StartupItems that doesn't...

    Volume Ownership?

    When you say "to alter things" do you mean to do anything with the Volume? If you still have correct permissions on all your stuff (home dir, apps, etc), then its a GOOD thing to have to login as root to do any administrative stuff, such as change your swap volume. So I'm not sure exactly...

    Focus Enhancements TView PCI Gold card in OS X.1.2

    Focus ships os 9.x software with their tview pci gold card, and it works great under 9.x. But I just installed os x, and it doesn't work at all. On Focus's web site there is *NO* information whatsoever about osx upgrades or functionality. On the software download page it has a listing for mac...
