I had expected more response. Apparently people want to upgrade to
9.0 but have run into various problems in addition to the G4 problem.
The responses are below with id removed. At ISU we are running the
old G3's with 8.1 with collection 2.5 and Seq Anal 3.4. We have 9.0
on a 8600 and Seq Anal 3.4 seems to work ok on that.

I am using Seq Analysis 3.3 with OS 8.5.1.
On our PowerMac 7200 and 7600 which run our 2 ABI 377XL instruments
we are using
OS 8.0 and Seq Analysis v3.3. On our main lab computer (PowerMac G3) we are
running OS 8.6 and Seq Analysis v3.4 with no problems.
You need operating system 8.x, apparently Foster city cannot recommend
9.0 as yet as they are still running tests.
I use Mac OS 8.0 and 8.1 for both collection and sequence analysis 3.3 or
3.4 on the 377's. They are fine.
we are using Sequencing Analysis 3.4 on OS9 and Data Collection
2.6 on OS8.6
Both work without any problems
We are running OS 8.5 on an old style G3 with SeqAnalysis v3.3.
I have downloaded the update to v3.4 but not yet tried it.
we use old Mac OS 7.5 for the data collection(ABI Prism 377XL v.2.5)
and we analyze the data on Macs run on Mac OS 9.0 using ABI's
Sequence Analysis v. 3.4.
We are running OS 8.5 on our collection machines. They are both 7000 series.
We are doing analysis version 3.3 on a G4 with OS 9.0 and simply
living with the
reboot after lane tracking. We still have to use the old 7600 running 8.5 to
analyze our GeneScan gels. It will not even launch the tracker on the G4.
We are using Mac OS 8.1 and Sequencing Analysis 3.4.
We are using Analysis v 3.3 with Mac OS 8.6. We ran into compatibility
problems with Mac OS 9.0, so that's why we're still using 8.6
I'm running 7.6.1 on the 377 collection mac and B1-8.1 on the mac I
check the tracking on. Both are running 3.3 and 3.4 Seq An just fine.
We are using OS 8.5 with all newest versions of GeneScan, Sequence Analysis
and Genotyper.
