Filemaker Pro 8.5 needed

A long shot perhaps, but has anyone got a copy of FMPro v8.5 or higher that they'd be willing to part with? If so, please let me know how much you'd want for it.

Having just upgraded to an Intel MacBook Pro running 10.5, my ancient FMPro v3 databases have become orphaned (no Classic support) and I understand that v8.5 is the minimum I need to get them going again.

Cheers

I'm running v9 Pro. I can't let it go but if I can help in any way, let me know. Would an earlier version, say 6, not run under Rosetta?

Hi Mick,

If it would, that may be a way to go (I hadn't considered that possibility).

According to http://www.macintouch.com/imacintel/rosettacompat.html, v6 will run under Rosetta - so has anyone got a spare copy of that version?

Cheers
Simon

If you're feeling brave you could try eBay ;-) There's a version 7 with a current bid of £15 :

and several of the brand new version 10! Am I just naturally suspicious? ;-)

I'm bidding on that very item, as it happens :-)

Nope, but I've located one elsewhere thankfully.
