Iburst on OSX 10.5.2 Loepard

[shaunbridgens]

Hi

I am trying to get my Ibusrt modem working via a PCMCIA adaptor the work on OSX 10.5.2 Leopard. I use the same setup on my Windows XP and Vista and Now also Windows 7 and it works fine. I downloaded the driver for MAC but it does not see the modem. I installed the driver and also setup up PPP connection but still nothing. I have the very first Modem for laptops, the olg grey one. Still a faithfull Iburst customer since they first launched in SA a few years ago. PLEASE HELP?

Have you considered updating to 10.5.6?

i cannot update to any version after that as then it freeze and wont boot again ...

I would format if I were you and try get updated to 10.5.6.

What laptop you using? Wow, I haven't seen those old grey devices in ages! Did they come out in PCMIA Express units as well?

Hi Limnos

I am currently formtting again and not loading any patches to update as it refuses to do so. I forgot to mention that i am running a hackintosh edition of Leopard 10.5.2 and it;s running on my PC via pci converter. Will let you know what i achieved. Also Iburst support says i should try the latest device drivers for that express modem and see what happens.

Cheers

It might have helped to mention this, i am doubting whether you will get this to work properly. I know iburst had specific drivers for specific modems for specific versions of the osx. On a normal machine it works instantly, i would imagine the problem lies directly with the hack u have done

Hmmm, I need to acquire iAtkos 10.5.5, been out of the game for quite a few months.

Hi there

The only driver that we have for Leopard is the following.

Mac Leopard - PowerMac UTC laptop driver (file size: 733 KB)

http://www.iburst.co.za/downloads/drivers/Mac Leopard - PowerMac UTC iBurst_Modem_v245_10.5p.zip

Running a desktop with a PCMCIA PCI adapter I have never tried.


Please let us know if you get it up and going.

Cheers

Shaun
