Message 57976 - Posted: 17 Dec 2008, 18:51:15 UTC

I am running Rosetta through Boinc on three machines - 2 Macs and a Vista. One of my Macs hasn't downloaded any work for weeks. I've reset the project, and no work... Any ideas?

because the team has decided not to support power mac and instead focus on standard intel/amd cpu type machines running linux or windows.

Hello michaelmastro,

The Intel based Mac's are still supported by the minirosetta, its the Power Mac (Mac PPC) based processors which are no longer supported by minirosetta.
Have a look at this thread with a reaction from David E K (techn/adm):
MAC Power PC - There was work for other platforms

Good luck to find some fine Wu's for your Mac powerpc.

Let's see if I've got this right...

I get the "...work for other platforms" message. I spend a good part of several days trying to fix the problem, including Updating; correcting server addresses; Updating; Detach from project; reattach project; etc.

And all this time, Rosetta could have issued some kind of message to PPC machines: an email, perhaps? Easier yet, they could have sent it directly to my Boinc manager! Instead they did nothing. No attempt to warn me.

Did I get this right?
