=== For Mac OS X Users ===
Check that you have an Intel processor, and not a PowerPC (PPC) G3, G4, or G5 processor Apple Macintosh. You can do that by selecting '''About This Mac''' from the Apple menu. The window that appears must have "Intel" mentioned in the Processor section. SoaS is only available for Mac with Intel processors.
You may be able to prepare your flash drive on a Mac, but depending on the generation of the Mac, you may need to use another computer to test whether the prepared flash drive works.
