Initial Compatibility
Highlights from Apple's Read Me files and associated documentation:Connectix Virtual PC and Mac OS 8.6 Connectix Virtual PC 2.1.1 and earlier (including version 1.X) are not compatible with Mac OS 8.6 and users should update to version 2.1.2 or later. The 2.1.2 updater is available as a free download for all Virtual PC 2.0 owners on the Connectix web site.

Installing Mac OS 8.6 on computers with Ultra Wide SCSI cards Some older Ultra Wide SCSI cards require a firmware update before they will work with Mac OS 8.6. If the card's firmware is not compatible, your computer will crash during installation or when you start up from the CD. Before installing Mac OS 8.6, contact the manufacturer of your SCSI card to determine if a firmware update is necessary.
Third-party Finder and utility software Some third-party programs that extend or add features to the Mac OS may not be compatible with Mac OS 8.6. Examples include programs that change the way menus work, change how files are stored, or alter the way you work with files in the Finder. You may need to upgrade these applications before you can access the files they affect. For more information, contact the third-party software manufacturer.
Mac OS 8.6 and Virex 5.9.1 glitch?
Steve Maser has found that if you have the Virex 5.9.1 enabled and have Mac OS 8.6 installed, some software installers may have one of two problems:
- They will stop with an 'unexpected error' (Meeting Maker 5.5.3 does this)
- They will look like they work, but they won't install all the parts (Timbuktu Pro does this)

Timbuktu Mac Os Update
What is Timbuktu Pro 6.0.3 (OS9) & 5.2.4 (OS8)? Timbuktu Pro is absolutely the best remote control or VNC-like suite for PPC Macs. It offered seamless integration between Windows and Macs allowing file exchanges on all drives, an email-like message system with file attachments, a VOIP-like intercom feature allowing conversations with the distant computers users, an IP scanner to instantaneously find all Timbuktu clients on LAN, an address book and of course, it allowed for complete visual remote control of the distant computer, even from a Mac to a Windows PC or vice versa. It could also allow guest sessions, password-protected accounts with different access rights and invitations or 'ask for permission' for any remote action. It also logged the history of everything in files for future lookups, which was great for unattended remote control sessions analysis. At the time of writing this, Timbukutu Pro 6 was still useful almost 15 years after its release and a 17 years old G3 iMac with Timbukutu Pro could still remote control and exchange files with an actual distant Windows 7 64-bits PC effortlessly. timbuktu_pro_(6.0.3).sit(6.73 MiB / 7.05 MB) Timbuktu Pro 6.0.3 for Mac OS 9.x / compressed w/ Stuffit 357 / 2015-12-08 / 50005970ae962f41c4720a1ff25378accbcc7ef4 / / timbuktupro_5.2.4_(macos8).sit(4.5 MiB / 4.72 MB) Timbuktu Pro 5.2.4 for Mac OS 8.x / compressed w/ Stuffit 73 / 2015-12-08 / 2015-12-08 / d9243ef2bc912e1623f624458f6aaace235fee4d / / timbuktupro_6.0.1_(osx).sit(4.06 MiB / 4.26 MB) Timbuktu Pro 6.0.1 for early OSX 10.0.4 and up / compressed w/ Stuffit 81 / 2015-12-08 / 2015-12-08 / 1ca0022dc5d91e0379f4d2c70f0770d41a6b0307 / / timbuktu_pro_(v8.0.3_-_xp_compat_mode).zip(11.27 MiB / 11.82 MB) Timbuktu Pro 8.0.3 for Windows XP, Vista, 7 (compatible with 6.0.3 for Mac) / Zipped 143 / 2015-12-08 / d84c3318d9648f28d598370643609558d1e414c2 / / Architecture
