The processor on my mac is 2,16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

I don't know about the firmware on the 360, how do I find that out?.... wait I think I found it....

Where do I download that from? The download page on the website only appears to have 15.1

I'm new to all of this and finding you have to be very tech savvy for this....

No, not really. Normally you wouldn't have to play around with your PB, except for the bad Mac thing. It's really only the combination between the Mac version and the PB version. So we have to get rid of one of the problems. Please PM Forkosigan and ask him for 15.2. In the download, you will find a how to.

I don't know who say you that PB360 will be a great device with MacOS, netronix/Pocketbook firmware have a lots of bug on the USB stack, and it does not work correctly on all version of OS X. You may need 10.5 to may have it work.

These ARE bugs of the netronix/PocketBook firmware, not bug from Mac OS.

I saw you post that further up... I specifically asked in this forum for a reader that would work with OS X 10.4.11. I'd been looking at Sonys but I saw that they have problems with the older operating systems. I was pointed towards the PB360 instead.

I'm not happy right now that I was misinformed. I do not want to update my OS. If my reader won't work I don't know what I'm going to do.

(In fact what's happen is that your PB360 is not recognised as a UMS drive, and it does not try to load the corresponding driver. 10.5 and 10.6 are more tolerant for such device, but anyway this is not the only bug found in the Netronix firmware (firmware that pocketbook used as their base code)

Are you telling me there's no fixing this, even if I update the firmware then?

I think this bug was adressed in the new firmware. Please ask Forkosigan, though.

I looked through Pocketbook's website and literature and I couldn't find any information about the OSes it supports. I recommend that it be added since it is a very important piece of data for prospective buyers.
