	Connectix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Connectix Corporation was a software and hardware company, noted for having released innovative products that were either made obsolete as Apple incorporated the ideas into system software, or were sold to other companies once they become popular.
		It was formed in October 1988 by Jon Garber; dominant board members were Garber, Bonnie Fought (the two were later married), and close friend Roy McDonald.
		McDonald was still Chief Executive Officer and president when Connectix finally closed in August 2003.

		Connectix engineers then copied the Sony BIOS into the RAM of their computers and observed the functioning of the Sony BIOS in conjunction with the Virtual Game Station hardware emulation software as that hardware emulation software was being developed by Connectix.
		Connectix presented evidence that it observed the Sony BIOS in an emulated environment to observe the functional aspects of the Sony BIOS.

	SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT v. CONNECTIX CORP., 203 F.3d 596 (9th Cir. 2000) (LOISLAW)
		Connectix engineers initially used this copy of the Sony BIOS to begin the reverse engineering process, but abandoned it after realizing that it was a Japanese-language version.
		Connectix's commercial use of the copyrighted material was an intermediate one, and thus was only "indirect or derivative." Sega, 977 F.2d at 1522.
		Accordingly, we conclude that Connectix's intermediate copying of the Sony BIOS during the course of its reverse engineering of that product was a fair use under 17 U.S.C., as a matter of law.

		Connectix engineers initially used this copy of the Sony BIOS to begin the reverse engi- neering process, but abandoned it after realizing that it was a Japanese-language version.
		Consequently, if Connectix was to gain access to the functional elements of the Sony BIOS it had to be through a form of reverse engineering that required copy- ing the Sony BIOS onto a computer.6 Sony does not dispute this proposition.

		Consequently, if Connectix was to gain access to the functional elements of the Sony BIOS it had to be through a form of reverse engineering that required copying the Sony BIOS onto a computer.6 Sony does not dispute this proposition.
		Connectix's reverse engineering of the Sony BIOS extracted from a Sony PlayStation console purchased by Connectix engineers is protected as a fair use.

	Microsoft buy to boost server efforts \| CNET News.com
		Connectix is best known for its Virtual PC software, but has been trying to recast itself as a maker of server virtualization software, which lets a single machine perform like several independent machines running their own operating systems.
		Connectix has been focusing on its development of the virtualization products over the past year, Schmucker said, adding that the bulk of the company's current revenue comes from its Virtual PC for the Mac software.
		Connectix has been beta-testing Virtual Server, and before the Microsoft deal had expected the final version to ship in the first quarter.

		The Connectix Quickcam Technical FAQ (Proposal) December 4, 1997 This document is archived at http://www.cs.duke.edu/~reynolds/quickcam/ This file lists answers to some of the often heard technical questions about the Connectix Quickcam line of digital cameras.
		According to Connectix's specs, the QC's CCD chip is so sensitive to infrared light, that after removing the IR filter, a room lit by the light of a TV remote control can be seen perfectly through the eye of the QC.
		The Connectix method can mess up a printer that is attached to your parallel port, so the author chose a more "polite" method that will try to find your camera without barking at the printer.

	Future fuzzier for Mac, Linux as MS buys Connectix tech \| The Register
		Linux fell off the roadmap yesterday when Microsoft announced it had bought Connectix's virtual machine technology, and in characteristic style pitched it as meaning that existing Windows users would now be able to upgrade faster to new versions by running old windows virtually on new Windows.
		Products differently-purposed from Connectix's Virtual PC for Windows would therefore seem to us to stand in some considerable peril, particularly as there is at least a suggestion that Microsoft plans to roll the technology into the operating system.
		Connectix currently runs on two basic host platforms, Mac and windows, and allows you to run various other operating systems on those platforms.

		Connectix will continue to sell VGS until 30 June 30, at which point all of its VGS assets become Sony property.

	Virtual PC 3 Notes and Reports
		Connectix Virtual PC 3.0 was released in mid September, 1999.
		Connectix says the problem is that NetBIOS only allows one NetBIOS setting per Ethernet port, and both DAVE and VPC Windows are setting their own instance of NetBIOS.
		Connectix informs me that there is no workaround for this and eventually VPC should work with Windows Me, but they can not comment on unannounced products.

	Connectix previews virtual Windows, Linux even OS/2 tech. \| The Register
		Emulation specialist Connectix - the company that ran into so much trouble by daring to allow Mac and PC users to run PlayStation games - has released a preview version of its upcoming Virtual PC for Windows software.
		According to Connectix, it's all because you want to run multiple operating systems simultaneously without having to reboot from one to another.
		Connectix says you can run it on a 266MHz box, but recommends a 500MHz processor.

	CRN \| Microsoft To Buy Connectix To (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Connectix, which is privately held and was founded in 1988, provides virtualization software for Windows-based computing.
		Connectix also makes Virtual PC for Windows, Virtual PC for Mac and Virtual PC for OS/2, which allows customers to run multiple operating systems on a PC.
		The Connectix technology will allow customers to run multiple workloads on a single PC and server, thus enabling the full utilization of all system resources on a Pentium-based PC and high-end servers,a difficult challenge and an obstacle to new PC and server purchases, sources said.

	MacWindows: Virtual PC 5 Notes and Reports
		Connectix says that the update also fixes a bug that caused Mac OS 9.2.2 to freeze when Virtual PC shared folders and Apple file sharing were being used together.
		Connectix told us last week that Virtual PC 5 uses "more parts of the kernel than any other application," but said VPC still can't get the processing power it needs.
		Connectix acknowledges a problem with Virtual PC 5 crashing Mac OS X v 10.1.2 when the Virtual Switch networking option is turned on--this causes a kernel panic--a crash of the entire Mac OS X system.

	Astrophotography with a QuickCam
		After this, I built-in the round, "naked" Connectix BandW QuickCam PCB into plastic parts, added a part from a Barlow lens, so that the CCD can now be nicely and safely attached to my telescope, in the focuser, at the place where otherwise sits the lens.
		The underlying explanation for this could be that the Connectix QuickCam is not cooled, so that it is not at a constant temperature during the whole observation run.
		The Connectix BandW QuickCam is mounted so that it is continually positioned exactly behind one of the two lenses of the binocular.

		However, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed that preliminary injunction, saying Connectix's reverse-engineering efforts were protected under the fair-use tenet of copyright law.
		Connectix attorneys are considering asking the judge to throw out the rest of the case, based on Thursday's ruling.
		Connectix shipped the first version of its Virtual Game Station in January 1999 but was hit with the Sony suit soon after that.

		But if you are fortunate enough to have a brand new Mac, you next have to turn to Connectix's list of compatible games.
		Connectix's implementation of InputSprockets left a little to be desired; you can't save favorite controller set-ups and there is one spot in MGS where this is a bit aggravating (I won't say more, because it'd be something of a game spoiler!).

	Connectix Virtual Game Station Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Connectix is working on a few bugs while also talking with Sony...prior to releasing VGS to retail.
		While Tomb Raider II and III are available on the Playstation, their appearance and performance are no match to the slick 3D graphics and smooth gameplay when played on the Mac (Tomb Raider III is planned for the Mac this year, to be published by Aspyr Media).
		Connectix hopes to have a fix for both of these problems (128 extension conflict and CD-ROM incompatibility) prior to the public release of VGS.

		It would appear that we were not the only organisation to be impressed as last week Microsoft Corporation acquired all of the virtual machine solutions of the privately held company.
		It is a pity that the Microsoft acquisition means that the Virtual Server will be available only as a preview release on Microsoft's Web site from mid April with GA availability expected towards the end of 2003.

	Microsoft Eyes Virtual Server Space With Connectix Acquisition
		Part of Microsoft's attraction to Connectix's technology may be because it adds depth to its forthcoming Windows Server 2003 family by allowing existing NT 4 customers to keep their NT 4 applications running as virtual machines.
		Connectix describes Virtual Server as a native Windows-based server application that allows users to run a broad range of server operating environments, including as Windows, Linux, UNIX, OS/2 and DOS, concurrently on a single physical server, within isolated virtual machines.
		During the six-month transition period, Connectix will continue to sell and support Virtual PC for Windows, Virtual PC for Mac, and Virtual PC for OS/2 products through its current distribution channel partners.
