Macintosh SerialKeys
Please note the following restrictions to the operation
of SerialKeys for the Macintosh:
1. The Macintosh version of SerialKeys requires the
Macintosh computer Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) hardware to
be present. Therefore, it will not work with the very
early Macintosh computers, such as the original MAC
Plus, MAC 128, or MAC 512 computers.
2. The Macintosh version of SerialKeys has been
written to utilize several new operating system
features offered by the Macintosh System 7.0 (or newer)
and therefore may not run properly, if at all, on
systems prior to System 7.0.
3. The Macintosh version of SerialKeys should operate
on 68K as well as PowerPC Macintosh computers.
4. The Macintosh version of SerialKeys has not been
tested on any of the Macintosh "clone" computers now
appearing on the market.
5. The Macintosh version of SerialKeys requires an
unused serial port on your Macintosh computer. This
can be either your modem or printer port. If one of
these ports is not available, you will not be able to
run SerialKeys. Note, sometimes these ports appear
available (e.g., nothing is plugged into them), yet
they are still being used. For example, an internal
modem may tie up your modem port and/or AppleTalk can
tie up your printer port, even if cables are not
connected to the computer ports themselves. Disabling
your internal modem software (usually a control panel)
and AppleTalk (usually under the Chooser) and rebooting
your Macintosh may free up these ports for use with
SerialKeys.
6. If you wish to run Easy Access MouseKeys with
SerialKeys, you must start MouseKeys prior to starting
SerialKeys. The latest version of Easy Access allows
you to have any of the access features automatically
turn on when your computer is powered on. This option
provides a nice solution to the need for MouseKeys to
be on prior to starting SerialKeys, provided you wish
to use the two features together. Please see the
readme file for more information on this.
If you meet these requirements, and SerialKeys will
still not run on your computer, the software should
provide some kind of error message. Please contact us
with this information.
