[Coco] Mac OSX 10.4

[Bill]

The little G4 I have is using OSX 10.2. I saw that DriveWire 3 for the Mac
requires 10.4, which that machine won't handle (plus the fact that I don't
have it.)

So, all I need to do is make sure 10.2 includes Java version 1.5. Where do I
download DriveWire 4 from? Does it do the same thing that DriveWire 3 does
(give me access to the HD for storage)?

Aaron can correct me if im wrong. You will have to get one of those usb to
serial adapters working however. Not sure the minimum requirements for that.

You will need Java JRE or JDK version 1.5 or higher and a serial
device of some sort.   Any system with those two things *should* work,
so far it's held true.  You may want to make sure the version of OS X
you are installing does include Jave version 1.5, support for Java on
OS X sometimes is not kept current on older versions.
