Notes:
- NuBus PowerPC
Performas include the Power Mac 52xx, 53xx, 62xx, and
63xx and all derivatives (except the Power Mac 6360).
- Early units of the
iBook, the slot-loading iMacs, and the Power Mac G4 (AGP
Graphics) shipped with a special version of Mac OS 8.6
that supports OT 2.5.x. OT 2.5.x is not supported under
8.6 on any other hardware.
- Apple strongly recommends that your software require
Open Transport 1.1.1 or greater. Older versions of Open
Transport are either very buggy (OT 1.0.x) or not
supported on all hardware (OT 1.1). In addition, Open
Transport 1.1.1 contains critical developer features
(tilisten, sync idle events, third-party port scanners
and configurators) that your software may depend on.
- For more detailed information about the history of
OT's DHCP implementation, see Tech Info Library article
58372.
