Panther G5 specific issues

Rick Thompson

I understand a few previous post were deleted...dj this is a repeat in essence.

This seems to be serious. I have installed Panther on 2 computers, a DualG5 and an 800TiBook. I have 8.1 build 1290, which is not actually the last one, however I would be surprised if a later build is going to make a difference. I can not plot on the G5 from plotmaker. Plotmaker crashes almost every time, but if I plot 1 sheet, sometimes it works. I have cleaned the preferences but the problem persist. I can plot as usual on the Tibook, so to plot is requiring a move of the lbk and pmks, so I can't link. I plot stock plans daily...this is awful.

If anyone has a dual G5 and can plot from plotmaker (more than one sheet, a set of several sheets), please let me know...thank you

AirPort wi-fi seemed to be a problem for one user on a G5, he switched to a CAT-5 (Ethernet) cable and all was well, multiple sheets plotted instead of just one.
