Mac Users can use the ISRS system in a few different ways.
Since ISRS (MnSCU) Uniface software runs only on Windows machines (it used to run on Macs until 2000 with version 6.1 of Uniface) - here are the options:
Option 1)
- Use a spare Windows machine only when you need to use ISRS.
Option 2)
- Use Remote Desktop Connection to login to a Windows XP Professional computer from your Mac.
- I would recommend this option if you have a spare Windows computer that is running Windows XP Service Pack 2 Professional or get a used one – can be a couple years old (if you log in to the computer from your Mac - no other user can use the Windows machine at that time). Runs very fast
- To use Remote Desktop Connection
- On the Windows-based computer, click Start, and then click Control Panel.
- Double-click System, click the Remote tab, and then select the Allow users to connect remotely to this computer check box
- Write down the computer name of the Windows-based computer and input that name into the RDC Program
- Step 3 - Open RDC on your Mac
- Select the Option arrow (RDC 1.0.3) or RDC Menu; Preferences (RDC 2.0)
- Display tab (1024x768 - unless your screen resolution on your Mac is at 800x600 then select that resolution).
- Peformance tab (RDC 1.0.3) Select Custom; Select LAN 10Mbps or higher from pop-up list)
Option 3)
- Boot Camp (free).
- a Mac that has an Intel chip inside (2006 - present) using MacOS 10.4.x
- When your computer starts up you can select to be in a Windows operating system environment (you cannot be in the Mac OS X environment at the same time).
- Winclone
Option 4)
- Fusion or Parallels
- Can be in the Mac and Windows operating system at the same time.
