    just wondering if 9.5 can be installed on a system running 8.5.6 with
    wire 2.4.1 which we have to keep for compatible workflow and interchange
    between more then one system ?

    should i not install the new version of wire to not ruin 8.5.6 s access
    to wire and burn ?

    im no expert on these things, but i remember it being a major from 8 to 9, restripe framestores revised irix stuff, quite a big deal. so i would of thought not, but you never know in this strange world of unix…..

    We were running flame 8.5.4 on irix 6.5.23, and we run 9.2.3 now, and irix is still 6.5.23. I guess 9.5 still uses irix 6.5.23…

    About stone+wire software, if flame 8.5.6 works with newer stone software, you might be able to run both versions on the same system. But don’t forget, clip/setup transfer will be one direction only. Newer version will read the older versions clips, and setups, but you can’t do the reverse. And older versions libraries will be read only.

    However this won’t be a recommended setup, it might be doable…

    Hi

    on 9.5 my irix version is 6.5, not sure if it went up to that at 9.5 or 9.1

    jh

    ps also the ram had to be increased to cope with 64 bit…

    Irix needs to be updated to 6.5.23f
    For that , you need foundation 2, overlays 2 and 3 Irix cd
    3 libraries use by discreet needs to be updated to 64bit

    Other discreet versions will be still running fine
