Ok.. here's a toughy. how do we get Seti to work on OS X through Classic? where does the pref's and data need to go? if possible.. or should i just get the Mac OS X Server text version and try to run that?
(currently im loading OS 9 as boot over night to run SETI )

At MWNY I saw a rep run an OS X-native version of the 2.66 seti beta. I think maybe it's carbonized instead of cocoaized, but it's just a guess since it looks exactly like the current mac version. So it sounds like an OS X version should be out as soon as the 3.0 client is released, which shouldn't be too long as the 2.74 beta seems stable.

As soon as my beta comes (still Being Assembled!) I'll be installing the rhapsody-5.6 version, the one that's seti 2.4. It should be quite a bit faster than the 3.0 version since it doesn't have all the science, not to mention the gui. Science is good, though, I suppose... Maybe the seti people should just give a 2 WU credit for every one done in the 3.0 client. That would make everyone switch!

My experience with the latest text-only build
under OS X DP4 was that it was just a bit slower than the graphical version under 9.04. But remember, DP 4 was festooned with debug crap so I'd take it with a grain of salt. Try it!
