!Restored: 6.5 in 10.3

anyone get 6.5 to run in classic mode in osX.3 yet?

I only need to do it so i can move all the 6.5 details into 8.1 on my laptop while traveling !

I can't get the key installer to work like it used to, and new version of the driver doesn't seem to do it either. is it not possible anymore?

I suppose I can just open the 6.5 projects in 8.1 and convert them that way, but it would still be nice to get 6.5 to work..

thanks!

so far had no success, even starting up in OS 9, because AC 6.5 cannot detect the dongle.

If you have your System restore disks(or a system restore disk from an older mac), you can grab a System 9 folder from there.

You don't have to boot in 9 to be able to run ArchiCAD 6.5. It's enough to run the classic shell. However, you have to modify WIBU setup to be able to use the WIBU key. See Archiguide article at:

Finally AC 6.5 in OS X. would have been better were it not for installing and uninstalling, and, restarting throughout.
