[comp.sys.apple] More Problems with GS/OS V3.0

shatara@memit.dec.com (Chris Shatara) (09/03/89)

I started to run into some strange doings under GS/OS V3.0.  My first 
problem is with Purge-o-matic.

I took the suggestion that was posted here on using POM with Deluxe Paint 
II.  This worked fine.  Problem is that sometimes it doesn't.  I had on 
several occasions encountered a "GS/OS system Error" when I use POM to 
start up POM or SHRConvert 2.1  I find that if I power down the system 
keep it off for a few seconds and then turn on the power, it will 
sometimes work and things are back to normal.  When it fails on DP-II it 
also fails on SHRConv.2.1  The error message is:


    GS/OS SYSTEM ERROR
    ADDRESS = $00E284		LC BANK $0
    ERROR CODE = $0002 

    This is for DP-II.  I get a different address for SHRC 2.1  I haven't 
noticed whether the address is the same for different occurances.  I have
1.25 M of memory, I've installed the system via the installer. I also 
tried setting the RAM disk setting to 0.  I have an APPLE expansion memory
card.

The other problem I have I've already discussed in a separate topic.  That 
is encountering an 

    INITIALIZATION ERROR --->0201

when attempting to run DiskTimerGS.  I don't know if this is related to 
the above problem or not.  

Anyone out there have any thoughts on these problems.

Thanks in advance for your help.....Chris

I'm not sure if my experiences are directly related but I'll share them
anyway.

I also got a GS/OS system error when running SHRConvert's POM.  And on one
execution it bombed to the monitor.  BUT, this only happened when I
switched the SHRConvert-Finder.Icons it to my Icon dir.!!  AND as soon as I
started getting weird problems a little bell went off in my head and Dave's
words came back to me, "Don't mess with Sys. 5.0's Icons!"  So I swapped
back and haven't had narry a problem since....

I had several other "transitional" problems when executing other
applications and transitioning back to the Finder.  If you are using
somebody's Finder.Icons (besides Apple's), I suggest you switch back and
see if your problems go way.
