Installed on a G4 PPC/ DP 800/10.4.11 and on a Core 2 Duo 24” Intel iMac/10.5.1
TTP 4.6.1 installed as advertised. When I first ran the installer, I was expecting to be asked on which volume I wanted TTP to be installed; yet that did not happen. The installer automatically selects the boot volume.
The look & feel/UI of TTP was the same (at least to me) as TTP 4.0.2. Other than being Leopard compatible, I found no changes (or other benefits).
I ran the “Intermediate” tests with no unusual findings. Then, I ran the Maintenance and Optimization routines (including defragmenting files), again without consequence.
As with earlier versions, when TTP is first launched, it checks all other computers on one’s LAN to ensure no other copies of TTP are installed. If you try to run it from a second machine, it will just quit. Since that check/verification technique is so easily defeated, I am surprised Micromat continues with it.
As I can boot several other volumes, all containing TTP, I did not install the eDrive.
Once Alsoft releases the new Leopard compatible DiskWarrior, I expect I’ll only rarely use TTP. Still, if TTP saves my bacon between now and then, no doubt my tune will change.

Since I have TTP for OS9, I was wondering if the new "cat" made a difference. Thanks for answering my question! :ESP:
