This requires access to the floppy controller, which is a chip containing firmware that be programmed to do so. To move, park, and set in different ways. To read these floppies, the read/write head of the floppy must be instructed Often they require 10-sectors, and the sector width on the disk is thinner. Proprietary floppy disk formats are highly unique in that the actual physical area that is marked off on the disk is a different cylindrical pattern than the Both restrictions are firmware limitations that our products have no way of circumventing. (one that works off a floppy controller, NOT a USB floppy drive). However - ONLY on Windows, and ONLY with a internal floppy drive If you want to look at the bug, it is 18795656 "Installer created with Packagemaker with OS check fails in Yosemite" under RADAR.Ĭhicken Systems Legacy products (such as Translator or the Ensoniq Tools products) support proprietary floppies. We"ve removed the OS check on all updaters to avoid the problem, as we aren"t really expecting anyone to try installing any of our products on OS's 10.3 or below anymore.īut the installers off the CD are beyond our control, so until Apple fixes this, the above workaround is necessary. In the meantime, this workaround works fine. We"ve reported the bug to Apple and we"ll see how fast they fix it. (We don"t know why they are doing string comparisons for equality in the first place.) The problem is that the script compares the string "10.10" >= "10.4.0" and for some reason it thinks it is less than "10.4.0". The problem is that the installers on the CD"s have a filter (that we elected to put into it) so any installation attempt on any OSX before 10.4 Tiger will fail. Run the installer from that location it should work.Duplicate the "distribution.dist" file for backup.A finder window opens with the "Contents" folder showing, enter into it.Ctl/Right-click and select "Open Package Contents".Copy the installer off the CD and on your Desktop (or wherever).
Here's the fix, it's an Apple/Javascript bug related to the installer (which is Apple-provided). Installations cannot proceed not all requirements were met. If you are installing any Chicken Systems product from CD on Mojave/Sierra/El Capitan/Yosemite, you may get an error in the installer, saying
