David,
 
We have Mac users that access TMS by using the Microsoft Mac Remote Desktop client (or one of several other RTS clients). It is a free download from Microsoft. There is, of course, a limit to how many users can hook up to the server simultaneously as each logon launches another instance of TMS. We run a half-dozen on a server with only 2 gigs of RAM without any problem.

Subject: TMS on dual platform

I’ve heard rumors that there are museums out there that run their TMS on a dual platform so that they can have Mac and PC users accessing data at the same time… It sounds like crazy science fiction to me, and it’s entirely possible that I’ve misunderstood, but is anyone doing such a thing?  If so, how do you do it?  Our graphic designers and image librarians who do their work on Macs would love access to TMS without having to have a second workstation…

 

Thanks,

David
