Up until now, I was using the software and colorimeter that came with the Artisan, but that won't be the case anymore. So I'm stuck. I haven't been able to find any software/hardware combination that is OS9 compatible. Can anyone offer some suggestions?
You could try this (but I don't guarantee it will work):
Calibrate and profile your monitor while connected to a Macintosh running Mac OS X; then connect the same monitor to your Mac running OS 9; copy the monitor profile from OS X onto the Mac with OS 9, place it in the ColorSync folder and activate it.
As long as (1) you don't make any changes to the OSD settings on the monitor and (2) your monitor profile is v2 (not v4), it might just work.
