Huh?
Performa 6360 & 6400: No QuickDraw GX Installer?
TECHINFO-0020745
TOPIC
I have both a Macintosh Performa 6360 and 6400 computer. I cannot find the QuickDraw GX installer on either my hard disk or my Performa CD-ROM disc. Was I supposed to get it? If not, why was it not included on the CD-ROM disc?
DISCUSSION
Performa 6400 w/Internal Global Village Modem
QuickDraw GX installer is only included with the Macintosh Performa 6400 computers which come with the internal Global Village communication slot card modem. QuickDraw GX can be found on the Macintosh Performa 6400 CD-ROM disc by following this path:Hard Disk Files
Apple Extras Files
System Software Extras
QuickDraw GX
Performa 6360, 6400 & 6400 (Video Editing) w/Internal Geoport
The Macintosh Performa 6360, 6400 and 6400 Video Editing Edition computers do not include QuickDraw GX in the System Software Extras folder. All of these computers currently ship with internal Geoport communication slot modem, instead of the Global Village communication slot card modem.These computers also ship with Adobe Acrobat 2.1 preinstalled. If you install QuickDraw GX over a System Folder that already has Adobe Acrobat 2.1 installed, you may receive an error message that says "substitution fonts for Acrobat or ATM may be damaged or missing...".
