Hi All, Here at the University of Cape Town Art Library we are investigating the purchase of CDROM equipment. The problem is that we need to be able to support both Macintosh and DOS/Windows environments because we are obtaining CDROMs in both formats. Macintosh is a fairly new thing for South Africa (except for the graphics fundis in the commercial world). I have heard of the PowerPC. Does it really support BOTH platforms? Are there any inherent problems? Should I rather get a separate CDROM player for each format?? I realise this is probably old hat for most of you, but I really do need advice please. Apologies for the crosslisting too.
