I purchased a Keyspan USB Serial adapter and Flexi 8 software. The Roland was previously hooked up to an ancient Quadra 840AV but I am having too many problems with that machine so it is definitely time to retire that old work horse and at least move into Mac OS X. I am a Mac only shop and have a PNC-1000 that I want to use with a USB only Mac.
I know I am resurrecting a pretty old thread here but I figured it would be better than starting a new one. It does a great job and the price was right.įirst of all, great forum! I am so glad I found it. But I would like to squeeze the last bit of life out of the old PNC-1000. If not, I think I may dump the PNC-1000 and go for a GX-300 or a FC-7000 instead. I will post my findings back here when and if I learn anything new regarding this setup. I will give Roland a call this week and see what they have to say. Just wanting to know what's possible for this older cutter to run in a Mac-only environment. Way back.Īnyways, I don't want to turn this into another Mac vs. But, for those of us who have discovered how much better the Mac platform is for design, security, and overall user-experience, going back to the PC is like stepping back in time. The PC is a good machine in its own right, and I should know, I've used them since the days of the 8Mhz 8088 XT and have been a PC tech for the last 15 years.
It works OK, and I still do all of my design on my Macs, but I personally would rather not have anything to do with the PC at all anymore, hence my original questions. I have my cutter plugged in to an old P3-800 running SignLab. And it's not that the PC isn't capable of doing the job, it's just that my most powerful computers happen to be Macs, and I simply don't like having PCs plugged into my local net and try to avoid it whenever possible. I guess what I need to know firstly is if CutStudio will even work with my older machine before I look at getting away from the PC altogether.
