    ************************ SYSTEM ENABLERS ***************************

    The most current System Enablers are located in the System Enablers folder located on the MacTest Pro CD.

    In some situations, the field appearing in several MacTest Pro windows that identifies the name of the machine being tested can be left blank or list a non-specific computer, e.g. "Macintosh". It can occur when using System 7.5 (or later). The correct name should still appear in the Hardware Info Log. Also the blank, or non-specific field display does not impact tests in any way. You can sometimes change the machine name display by removing from the bootable disk any System Enablers that are not required for the machine under test. Refer to the list of System Enablers below to determine which Enabler is required for each machine.

    ******************** PERFORMA SYSTEM ENABLERS **********************

    Macintosh Performa 6100 series machines do not require System Enablers, however they do require System 7.5 or later.

    All bootable MacTest Pro Emergency (1.44) disks include System 7.5 and the appropriate Enabler files for the machines that are tested with those disks. Following is a list of the current Enabler files, the machines they support, and the current version numbers.

    Most machines that require System Enablers prior to System 7.5, do not require those Enablers when running System 7.5 (or later).
