Micromat Tech Tool Protogo

Do you have an old portable hard drive or flash drive lying around? Why not turn it into the ultimate Macintosh diagnostic, repair, and maintenance tool? With TechTool Protogo it's easy. Protogo allows you to quickly create a bootable diagnostic device that contains Micromat's most powerful tools as well as any of your own utilities you may wish to install. You can then use this device to boot, check, maintain, and repair Macintosh computers as needed. Like our award-winning product, TechTool Protégé, you will have a device that allows you to carry all the tools you'll need in your shirt pocket. But unlike Protege, you'll have plenty of space left over for a multitude of additional utilities as well as ample drive space when you need to recover data.

TechTool Protogo ships on a DVD that includes the Protogo configuration application, TechTool Pro Classic (for Mac OS 9 systems and below), TechTool Pro 5 (for Mac OS X), and DiskStudio. Protogo includes several profiles for standard system/utility configurations so that you can easily set up a device for your particular needs. Simply select the device, select the desired profile and then press a single button. Protogo will format and configure the device and then install all of the system files and tools you'll need. You can also create and save your own profiles that include the custom components you desire (even including third-party utilities). The standard profiles range from a minimal bootable system with TechTool Pro 5 and DiskStudio, to a full-blown Mac OS X installation including a Finder, Classic, and multiple utility programs.

A device created by Protogo boots and runs software much faster than from a CD/DVD repair disk. It also includes memory swap space for the Mac OS, which increases speed and stability as well. In addition, you can re-configure the device at any time to add new utilities, updated versions of software or newer versions of the Mac OS.

TechTool Protogo gives you the power to create and maintain your own pocket-sized toolkit for the Macintosh–exactly the way you want it–on one portable device. Just plug it in and all your tools will be at your fingertips.


System Requirements:

• Mac OS X 10.4.9 or greater.
• DVD drive.
• 512 MB RAM or greater.
• 2GB or larger target device.**

MICROMAT TECH TOOL PRO

	The complete Macintosh problem-solving utility.

Designed for ease of use by both the novice and the Macintosh professional.

Use TechTool Pro to keep your Macintosh running smoothly. TechTool Pro is a full-featured utility program containing options for testing and repair, maintenance (including disk defragmentation), and data recovery. All it takes is one click of the mouse to perform a comprehensive suite of tests on your computer's hardware and attached drives. TechTool Pro does it all. There is no need to purchase additional software to keep your computer performing at its best. In fact, it’s so good that Apple includes a copy of its sibling, TechTool Deluxe, in its AppleCare Protection Plan.

You don’t need to be an expert technician to run TechTool Pro. The interface allows you to easily perform a comprehensive suite of tests unattended, so even novices can run the program with just one click of the mouse. At the conclusion of testing a detailed report is generated. This report summarizes what was done, alerts you of any problems that were found, and instructs you how to proceed in that case.

An innovative feature unique to TechTool Pro is the eDrive. The program lets you create an emergency startup partition that includes TechTool Pro on one of your hard drives. It does this without the need to reinitialize your hard drive. Once you have an eDrive (which can be easily updated), you no longer need to use the program DVD for testing or maintenance.

TechTool Pro is a feature-packed release of the most comprehensive diagnostic, repair, and maintenance utility of all time! No product comes close to TechTool Pro for ensuring that all your hardware and software is operating at peak performance. Use TechTool Pro for:

	Diagnostics and Repair Use the Check Computer feature to perform a complete diagnostics check of the computer and the Macintosh formatted hard drives with one click of the mouse. This includes a SMART test of the computer's built-in hard drive to check for impending drive failure, a test of the computer's available RAM, a check of the disk directories, and much more. If problems are found, advice is provided on how to proceed to repair the problem. Use Check Computer regularly as a part of a preventive maintenance program.
	Volume Rebuild In addition to testing the disk directories of hard drives, TechTool Pro can also perform a complete rebuild of them. This optimizes these critical data structures and, on a corrupted drive, repair any problems. Use volume rebuild to keep your hard drives operating at their peak performance.
	Optimization TechTool Pro performs both file and volume optimization. File optimization consolidates each individual file into a contiguous area of the hard drive. Volume optimization consolidates the free space on a hard drive. Optimizing enhances the overall performance of your drives and simplifies the file storage layout.
	Data Recovery TechTool Pro includes several methods of data recovery. Use them to recover data from corrupted drives that don't mount on the desktop and save the data to another location. Use the Trash History feature to track the location of deleted files and increase the chance of their recovery in the case of an accidental deletion.
	eDrive One of the unique features of TechTool Pro is the eDrive. This is a bootable Mac OS X partition containing TechTool Pro and a small copy of your system that you can use when performing regular maintenance or in the case of an emergency. It is created on one of your hard drives without the need to reformat it.
	Protection TechTool Pro includes the option to install the TechTool Protection system preference. This is where you configure automatic functions that operate in the background. In particular, you can configure Protection to track deleted files, monitor the free space on your hard drives, save backups of critical directory data to help with recovery in the event of drive corruption, and to monitor the SMART routines of your hard drives. If problems are found, Protection provides an onscreen alert and can even be configured to send an email alert.

TechTool Pro 5 is a feature-packed release of the most comprehensive diagnostic, repair, and maintenance utility of all time! A must-have Macintosh application, this utility from Micromat is truly the one indispensable product you need to ensure your Mac is always trouble free.

System Requirements:

• Macintosh PowerPC G4 or newer.
• Mac OS X 10.4.9 or greater.
• DVD drive.
• 512 MB RAM or higher.

A Better Understanding of "OEM" Software

Most software publishers make available an "OEM" version of their products. What exactly is "OEM" software?

Literally speaking, "OEM" stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. This term refers to independent builders of computer systems who design their hardware with "original" or unique parts. These parts are built or acquired according to the specifications of the builder, and result in machines which are original or unique from other name-brand machines.

An "Original Equipment Manufacturer" can be as big as DELL Corporation or Hewlett-Packard, and yet as small as your local computer store who builds two or three new computers a week.

Most software publishers feature a retail-box product with an attractive point-of-sale package, enclosed literature or manual, and a telephone or email support line for after-sale technical help for the end-user customer.

But the publisher also likes to make available to original equipment manufacturers and system builders a lower-cost, no-frills version of the same software product. Why lower-cost? ---because the publisher wants to give the OEM builder an incentive to bundle the software product with every machine the builder produces....and, in return, the system builder assumes the responsibility of after-sale technical support of the product.

Think of OEM software as one of the most successful ways for a publisher to brand its product by making it available to a wider audience which is, in effect, built into every machine. OEM software is also a great way for a manufacturer of computers or an installer of hard drives to give his end-user customer an instant menu of the latest and most popular software programs, thus sparing the end-user the hassle of making his/her own installations.
