K8055 Control Panel Intel Mac

Hi,

I’ve just got a K8055 however I can’t use it as the control panel that comes with the board is a PowerPC app and my MacBook it running OS X Lion which has dropped Rosetta and PowerPC app support. I’ve tried running the Windows version through Wine Bottler however the program doesn’t recognise the board. So if anyone knows of any apps that are either Intel or universal binary can you please tell me.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Flib99,

If I understand the MacBook correctly, you can import source code built for Linux and with some tweaking, make it run.

The following link

libk8055.sourceforge.net/

points to a Linux alternative for the K8055D.dll meant for Linux machines. ( I am testing it out currently. )

The tweaking part requires knowledge of the Lion OS and of programming.

I hope that this helps.

I have some good news. I took a second look at that site. It supports Mac OS X.
