I'm running Mac OS 9.2 and my computer loves churning out that Seti data....but now....it stopped. What's happened and how can I get SETI back up and working on my computer? Thanks!

SETI@Home "Classic" has closed. From the Classic site:

On December 15, 2005, after 6 years of operation, Classic SETI@home sent out its last workunit. On December 22, we stopped receiving results. The current SETI@home project is up and running. Please join us! The new software uses the BOINC distributed computing platform, which enables your computer to work on other scientific endeavors like SETI@home if you wish. We could all use your CPU cycles! It's easy to switch over - just follow the instructions on the new SETI@home web site. We hope to see everyone there!

Thanks to all original SETI@home participants for their tremendous dedication to the project. You made SETI@home into something of lasting significance.


SETI/BOINC is running. However, BOINC has no client for Mac OSes prior to 10.3.9, so the only way to run BOINC is to upgrade your OS, as discussed by many in other threads here. Sorry!

It will also make a big difference what kind of Mac you have. Some of them will not accept a Mac OSX upgrade, some will but you have to reformat the disks just right. Soem of the G3s without a DVD can be ungraded to OSX but you will have to find it on CD's and upgrade to higher versions online.

Good Luck

Regards

With XPostFacto it is posible to install MacOS X on not supported systems. Please look at this postings : http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=19073#211847
