>We are running OS 8.5 on our collection machines.  They are both 7000 series.
>We are doing analysis version 3.3 on a G4 with OS 9.0 and simply

>We are using Analysis v 3.3 with Mac OS 8.6.  We ran into compatibility

>I'm running 7.6.1 on the 377 collection mac and B1-8.1 on the mac I
>check the tracking on. Both are running 3.3 and 3.4 Seq An just fine.

>We are using OS 8.5 with all newest versions of GeneScan, Sequence Analysis
