Compatibility
Architecture: PPC

? Apple PowerPC G3 with at least 16 MB of free RAM
? MacOS 8.6 or better (9.1 recommended)
? Currently fLOW only works with the built-in sound hardware of your
Apple Macintosh computer using the SoundManager. ASIO drivers or
external hardware is not supported. If you have such gear, it is
recommended to start your computer with all system extensions off (by
pressing the shift-key during startup) so that there will not be a
system extension conflict. In fact, fLOW does not require any system
extension, only the SoundManager that is already included in the Mac
OS.
