Mac OS X 10.2.8 (build 6S90)

Build 6S90 of Mac OS X 10.2.8, released by Apple Computer on October 3, 2003, is the final update to Mac OS X 10.2 "Jaguar". It only supports G5-based systems that were available at the time, and should not be installed on other models.

Enhancements

 * AirPort: The G5 will now wake up from sleep if both an AirPort Extreme card and some types of PCI cards are installed.
 * Bluetooth: Bluetooth devices now are available after the Mac wakes up from sleep.
 * CD burning: Support for various disc burners from Logitech, MCE, Format, TDK and LaCie were added.
 * Classic environment: Kernel panics no longer occur if the Classic environment is started with more than 2 GB of RAM installed.
 * FireWire:
 * A problem where some FireWire devices failed to work better if the user connected them after disconnecting certain types of digital cameras has been solved.
 * FireWire devices (including the iPod) remain available, even after the Mac wakes up from sleep.
 * iChat: Now works better via AirPort networks.
 * Internal modem: Stability when using the "Return to command state" modem string command with an Apple Internal 56k Modem (v.92) is now improved. The modem also maintains better connections to certain types of v.34 modems.
 * USB 2.0: Keyspan Twin Serial adapters now work better when connected to a USB 2.0 hub.

The latest Security Updates, along with updated security services, are now also bundled with the update.
