Huh?
TECHINFO-0020776
TOPIC
I have a Power Macintosh 5400 and want to use the Button Disabler control panel that shipped with my Power Macintosh 5200. After installing this control panel, it says that it will not work with this Macintosh. Is this correct?
DISCUSSION
Yes. This is correct. Button Disabler version 1.1 was the last version of the control panel released by Apple as part of System Software 7.5. The Power Macintosh 5200/75, 5260/100 and 5300/100 computers shipped with a System Software 7.5 based installer. This installer for these computers was created from System Software 7.5. This computer specific installer allows users to custom install the Button Disabler control panel v1.1. The Power Macintosh 5260/120*, 5400/120 and 5400/180 computers currently ship with a System Software 7.5.3 based installer which does not include the Button Disabler control panel.
*NOTE: The Power Macintosh 5260/120 does not ship with the Button Disabler control panel. However, since the Power Macintosh 5260 logic board is based on the Power Macintosh 5200/5300 logic board, the control panel should install and work correctly.
