Existing users, 
This past weekend I was going to purchase a new 15" PowerBook and the new 2.3GH Dual-Core Power Mac. I brought my SuperDuper cloned system on an external firewire HDD to the retailer to boot up the new systems in order to do a pixel screen test before purchasing the systems. Both new systems would not boot--infact, the bootup process froze on the PowerBook and produced a kernal panic on the Power Mac; however, a 12" PowerBook would boot without any problem. Perhaps there is something related to the new DDR2 RAM, or some OS issue on the new systems that prevented reading and booting from a SuperDuper clone of my 10.4.2 system.
I will not buy any new system until a bootable, working clone is available. Waiting for a solution. Is this a SuperDuper issue?

Problems with New Power Mac and PowerBooks? - gregabf
The migration application works well, It will import your previous documents,sofware, etc. Unlike other copies, it has all prefs and passwords saved for yoru.Super Duper works welll for me as a daily back up of my main hard drive. I can boot from the copy, but would use migration to move to a new mac.

Can't boot new hardware with old OS version. - dnanian
Newly released Macs cannot be booted from versions of OSX released before the hardware. This is not a SuperDuper! limitation, but rather one of the OS.You'll be able to use the migration assistant during first boot to migrate the data from the copy, but you can't boot from it.
Hope that helps: in the future, please ask for support by emailing us at support -at- shirt-pocket.com, rather than posting here where I have to hunt for it. Thanks!
