Hi,


I updated my iMac (early 2008) to Mountain Lion and tried Astro IIDC 4.08 with my Flea3 firewire camera and it works. 4.08 appears not to be signed so I had to change the "Allow applications downloaded from:" setting to "Anywhere", found in the Security & Privacy tab of the System Preferences. After running Astro IIDC once I was able to set it back to "Mac App Store and identified developers".


GPUSB appears to work, not tested on the mount though.

Hi Folks;

I'm tied up with coding and don't have the time to clean up a partition, back it up, copy Lion to it and then download install Mountain Lion on to it. Maybe next week or so. I only have one Mac left that Apple will "allow me" to install Mountain Lion on anyhow.

So compatibility of Astro IIDC and Mountain Lion is unknown. If someone tries it out, let me know how you make out.

On a side note - apparently you can't make a back up .dmg install copy of "Mountain Lion" like one could with "Lion" (i.e if you copied the "ESD.dmg" in the Lion installer app, you could use that to install Lion from a Flash drive or DVD). You have to use your Apple ID and the Apple Store for each Mac, download 4+ gigabytes to each Mac your installing Mountain Lion on. I hope you and others all have unlimited data plans.

And both Snow Leopard and Lion are no longer available on the Apple Store - so your forced to either go Mountain Lion if you need to re-install or buy a new Mac.

PS: And Apple still hasn't released their "ThunderBolt to FireWire 800" adapter yet that they promised in June for a July Release. Maybe it's vaporware.

TTYL..
