updater business / commercial software for mac

TechTool Protogo Updater is a useful tool if you have an old iPod lying around? Or perhaps a small portable hard drive or flash drive? Why not turn it into the ultimate Macintosh diagnostic, repair, and maintenance tool?

With TechTool Protogo its easy. Protogo allows you to quickly create a bootable diagnostic device that contains Micromats 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 Protege, you will have a device that allows you to carry all the tools youll need in your shirt pocket. But unlike Protege, youll 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 4 (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 youll 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 4 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.
