Current ZoeOS Requirements

• A Classic or Ultra Emulator device running EOS 4.0 or above.
• A Windows 2000 or XP personal computer
• A 1024x768 display (1280x1024 recommended).
• A fast CPU (750Mhz or greater recommended).
• 128 MB free RAM
• A bi-directional midi connection. As the quality of SysEx implementations in existing midi interfaces varies,
  an up-to-date or reliable midi interface is desirable.
  
• Java Virtual Machine 1.5 SE or greater (free software and a link provided in download section)
• A SCSI connection to your Emulator. While this is not an absolute requirement,
  it is highly recommended as this greatly enhances the power of ZoeOS.
  SCSI also requires ASPI 4.7 from Adaptec.
• NOTE: Working knowledge in the following areas is assumed and required on the part of the user. Zuonics has limited resources to support customers at length in these areas.
  • Midi connection procedures
  • SCSI and SMDI connection procedures
  • Using an E4 from the front panel.

Provisional requirements for planned Mac OS X release

• A Classic or Ultra Emulator IV running EOS 4.0 or greater.
• A Mac OS 10.4.x (Tiger, see Java requirement) desktop G3/G4/G5 or Powerbook
• Java Virtual Machine 1.5 SE or greater (Apple annoyed the developer community into a forced upgrade by releasing Java 1.5 for OS 10.4 only).
• A 1024x768 display (1280x1024 recommended).
• A standard mouse will cut it, but a two button PC mouse with a mouse wheel is highly recommended.
• A bi-directional midi connection.
• A SCSI connection to your Emulator. While this is not an absolute requirement,
  it is highly recommended as this greatly enhances the power of ZoeOS.

  The current candidates for a SCSI solution on OS 10.4.x are:

  • Powerbook: Ratoc Systems, Ultra SCSI CardBus PC Card for PowerBook, model CB31Pismo
    
  • Desktop G3/G4/G5: Atto UL3D or UL3S SCSI host bus adapter.
  
  If you know of any other SCSI sample transfer solutions known to work with OS 10.4.x, please let us know so we can share the information with others.
