<p>"Until now, the only people that could use Mac OS X were those that bought<br />
a new Macintosh computer or owned a G3 or G4 computer that is currently<br />
supported by Apple," said Larry O'Connor, president of Other World<br />
Computing. "Our goal with Unsupported UtilityX is to take care of the loyal<br />
Mac users who have older systems that are not supported for OS X. With the<br />
UtilityX application, these users can now run OS X and truly revitalize<br />
their older, but still exceptional Macintosh computers. They will also be<br />
able to take advantage of the newer software products, which are designed<br />
to only operate with OS X, as well as continue to upgrade their existing<br />
system with faster hardware products rather than having to invest in<br />
entirely new systems."</p>
<p>Not only has Apple limited its support for OS X to Macintosh models driven<br />
by a G3 or G4 processor, OS X, as is, also cannot be installed on earlier<br />
machines. With the help of OWC's Unsupported UtilityX, users can install<br />
Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server on certain unsupported pre-G3 systems from an<br />
unmodified Mac OS X CD and do so with only three more mouse clicks than it<br />
takes to install OS X on an Apple-supported model. When OS X is installed<br />
on a system with Unsupported UtilityX, the features and usage are the same<br />
as they are on an Apple-supported model. OWC also provides ongoing<br />
technical support for these older systems that use Unsupported UtilityX to<br />
run OS X.</p>
<p>With the support of Unsupported UtilityX, users of the following Apple<br />
PowerMac models can install and utilize Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server:</p>
<p>=B7 7300, 7500, 7600<br />
=B7 8500, 8600<br />
=B7 9500, 9600, and<br />
=B7 Selected clones (Umax S900 and J700; and Power Computing PowerWave and<br />
PowerTowerPro)</p>
<p>"Although not all older Macintosh computers will be able to run OS X,<br />
Unsupported UtilityX has made it possible to revitalize many older systems<br />
and extend their usability," said Ryan Rempel, developer of Unsupported<br />
UtilityX and consultant to Other World Computing. "As we continue to<br />
improve the utility, we anticipate that more systems will be able to run OS<br />
X, and will see an increase in speed and functionality as well. We have<br />
received an overwhelming response to this utility, and as a result of our<br />
efforts, we have positioned OWC as one of the leading providers of ongoing<br />
support for Mac users."</p>
<p>Unsupported UtilityX 2.0 was released to support OS X release 10.1. Ryan<br />
Rempel and OWC released Unsupported UtilityX version 1.0 in June 2001 to<br />
support OS X 10.0.x versions. A new version of the utility was needed as<br />
Apple changed OS X 10.1 significantly enough to require more than just some<br />
minor adjustments to Unsupported UtilityX to continue support. Unsupported<br />
UtilityX 2.0 supports up to OS X 10.1, as well as the prior OS X versions.<br />
Version 2.0 should also support recently released OS X 10.1.1 and future<br />
versions of OS X 10.1 as is or with a few minor updates.</p>
