All other URLs for Moebius II subject to change Moebius II technical advisory - 2000.11.28 Configuration alert - Sseyo Koan plug-in 8.02 for Windows Sseyo has released version 8.02 of the Koan browser plug-in. For users who have installed this latest version of plug-in, please be aware that certain inherited set up values from the previous Koan plug-in installation for Windows may result in a set up where the plug-in will not work at all. Specifically, if you have used values of what amounts to several seconds or more for the Reaction Time setting in previous Koan plug-in versions installed on your system, the use of Koan plug-in 8.02 may cause possible browser and / or operating system crashes when attempting playback. It has been found that a Reaction Time value of about 1/4 second or 250 mS, is usually sufficient for most systems which are of processor speeds of Pentium-133 or faster, but if you have a processor of slower speed than that, you may need to halve the reaction time, or use an even lower value. Problem alert - Koan incompatibility with Netscape 6 and Mozilla browsers Please be advised that Netscape 6.0 official release, preview releases 1 to 3, and Mozilla browsers uses the new Mozilla browser plug-in API (Application Programming Interface) standards which were publicized during the development of this generation of browsers over the last several years. As a result of Sseyo not having been aware of these new browser plug-in API changes, the necessary plug-in modifications to maintain compatibility with the new plug-in API protocol were not included. Therefore, all of Sseyo's recent Koan interactive plug-in versions, including version 7.X and 8.X, are incompatible with these browsers when used in interactive mode. Moebius II is one such site which uses the Koan plug-in in interactive mode. Big Eyes Media has advised Sseyo of this new plug-in API development and it is hoped that Sseyo will release browser plug-in updates in the near future to maintain compatibility with the latest Netscape and Mozilla browsers. In the meantime, if you are a Netscape user, you must use Netscape Communicator 4.X or Navigator 4.X browser releases to successfully access Moebius II. Over Heard visitors If you are visiting Moebius II to view the Over Heard on-line exhibit, and do not wish to be concerned with any of these Koan related issues, please visit the direct Over Heard entry, which uses FAME audio and requires only a Macromedia Flash browser plug-in (without any need for Koan installation) to obtain real time algorithmic / generative audio. Big Eyes Media apologizes for the above inconveniences which are unfortunately beyond our control, and hopes that this advisory will assist you in isolating any access problems you may have with Moebius II. Thank you once again for your interest in Moebius II. Continue entry into Moebius II here Big Eyes Media |
