Updated 21 March, 2002.
On March 24, 2001, Apple, Inc. released its newest version of the MACINTOSH operating system MAC OS X (pronounced MAC OS ten). MAC OS X represents a significant change from previous operating systems (for example, MAC OS 8.x and 9.x), and sports a new graphical user interface, along with some major improvements to the underlying OS core. The MAC OS X core, based on a UNIX kernel, includes improvements to stability and performance, such as protected memory, preemptive multitasking, and symmetric multiprocessing. For more detailed information on MAC OS X go to http://www.apple.com/macosx.
Many applications written to work with MAC OS 9.x or earlier do not run natively on MAC OS X. To help bridge these operating systems, Apple will also ship MAC OS 9.x with MAC OS X. With MAC OS 9.x installed, MAC OS X launches OS 9.x when an OS 9.x application is started for the first time (this is referred to as running an application in Classic mode).
For KODAK digital camera users, it is important to note that MAC OS X does not support serial connections, and KODAK USB digital camera drivers from MAC OS 8.6 and MAC OS 9.x applications are not currently supported, even in Classic mode. What this means is that any MACINTOSH digital camera connection software developed by Kodak does not work with MAC OS X. Kodak image editing and printing software (for example, KODAK Pictures Now Desktop software), as well as third-party software that does image editing and printing, will work in Classic mode.

MAC OS X includes Image Capture Application that works with digital cameras supporting Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP or ISO 15740), including the KODAK EASYSHARE DX3900 and DX3215 Zoom Digital Cameras, KODAK EASYSHARE DX3700 Digital Camera, KODAK DX3600 Zoom Digital Camera, KODAK DX3500 Digital Camera, KODAK DC4800 Zoom Digital Camera, KODAK mc3 Portable Multimedia Device, and future KODAK cameras. Apple also includes native MAC OS X Image Capture Application support for KODAK DC220, DC260, DC265, and DC290 Zoom Digital Cameras (see Image Capture Application). With the release of MAC OS X v 10.1 on September 29th, 2001, the Image Capture Application now includes support for the KODAK DC240, DC280, DC3400, and DC5000 Zoom Digital Cameras.
