Just finished installing a new machine with Sierra; after getting no love with the Jamstix Manager from my Archives I stumbled upon this thread. The above provided Manager completed the install and the install seems to be working perfectly. I was seriously fretting about what I was going to do if an OS X version wasn't still available!

Glad you got it sorted!

Here's an installation tip for those of you who are late to upgrading to Sierra (like me).

I downloaded and installed the version that's at:

http://www.rayzoon2.com/F4rT4hj34G4sluOX/JamstixManager.dmg

When the installer asked me whether I wanted to overwrite the app with the new one, I elected to keep them both. OSX then did a confusing thing:

The newer file (date stamped May 31, 2016) turns out to be the old version of Jamstixmanager and it fails when opened. That file is smaller - 2.6 mb in Finder.

The older file (date stamped Dec 23, 2013) turns out to be the new version of the app and works just fine. That file is larger - 9.3 mb in Finder.

Weird, but hey...

I imagine most of you have already upgraded to Sierra, but this might help you cautious laggards like me.
