Mac and Band in a Box

Alan Pagliere · Post by **Alan Pagliere** » 20 Jun 2004 11:58 am

Thinking about getting Band in a Box for my Mac.
Everything I've seen on the web says that the "latest" version of Band in a Box for the Mac is iffy when used in OS X and so they "recommend" booting in OS 9. Several questions...
1) Does Band in a Box on the Mac run in OS 9? If things were good, there would be an OS X versionl. If they were bad, it would run in OS 9 in "Classic" mode. If they were bad, it would require booting in OS 9. (Of course, I shouldn't complain, because if things were truly awful, one wouldn't even be able to get the program to run on a Mac at all).

1) Is this still true, that you have to boot to 9? The first time I heard this was a couple of years ago.
2) Is there any development work going on for the Mac?
3) Does anyone else out there run it on a Mac? How is it?

I run BIAB on a mac and need to reboot in os 9. It is ok but not near as good as the PC version. I would wait for the OSX version. I'll buy the upgrade or new software whenever it comes out.

Thanks everybody. I will hold out. Sounds like it's been "any day now" for some time, but if everyone else is waiting on it, so will I.

Another nice thing about this thread is that by following all the links, I saw lots of you forum-ites use Macs. I had no idea there were so many of us out there...
