IdentityTool Preview Release [OS X]
Metrophage:
I ran IdentityTool earlier today, and it did not work for me in 10.2.8, in case anybody needed to know. This was on a FW800 which was set up with Jaguar for some old peripherals. The program did run, but the buttons didn't do anything. I was able to check the current script up in the menu. Trying to run the script IdentityTool froze. Next time I tried to boot the system, it wouldn't boot anything until I reset the NVRAM in Open Firmware. Then it worked fine. I upgraded that partition from 10.2 to 10.3 and was then able to run the program without problems. Of course, by then I could have just typed the stuff in OF and saved time.
Nice work just the same! I was planning on breaking out my FW800 this week anyway, and was unaware of the great work having been done recently on these unsupported systems. First reading about this today, and then DieHard posted a new installer disc today with iMic's edited ROM on it. Handy he saved me the trouble of tinkering with it since I had only two blank CDs left. Great, great work guys! I am so psyched to have a working MDD again.

LeopardAssist 3 had some issues running on Jaguar as well. Seems to be combination of issues running the REALbasic libraries on Jaguar and some missing command line tools.
In the absolute worst case scenario, I'll have to limit the application to running on Panther, Tiger and Leopard.

My g5 will continue to collect dust. Osx runs faster on my mdd so I doubt os9 would be any better on it.
IIO:
you must be joking.
OSX on a G5 is about 10 times faster compared to an MDD.
for music and video i have no use for OSX on a G4.
