[comp.sys.mac] Onque, Quick Keys and Suitcase 1.2.5 don't load on the IIci

Hi there,

My OnQue, Quick Keys, Suitcase 1.2.5 don't load in on my Mac IIci.  Is
anyone else facing the same problem?  I switched back to v1.2.2 of
Suitcase and it seems to work.  Quick Keys I got to work finally, by
running one of the applications that came with the QK package.  But
Onque does not work.  It does not work under finder or multifinder.  I
have 5 meg RAM.  InitCdev 2.0 shows Onque in its list of active INITs
but it does not show up on the menu bar.  Please reply via e-mail if
possible.  THANX in advance....

The other day I used my LaCie disk to boot a IIci and it basically
worked.  The Programmer's Key INIT seemed to have problems, but
QuicKeys 1.1 and Suitcase 1.2.5 loaded just fine.  Adobe Type Manager
even ran, and it was still too slow for my taste.  Can't say with
Onque--I don't have it.  Clearly something is wrong with your setup,
but I can tell you these two worked for me.

Know what?  Booting a IIci was no big thrill.  Sure is was nice to
know that my LaCie can do it, and sure it is faster, and *sure* I
would like one, but it is still a Macintosh, and things pretty much
acted like I was running a Macintosh.

Which is the *beauty* of it all.  I *was* running a Macintosh.  I can
use my hard disk on: my bottom-of-the-line Plus at home, my IIx at
work, my friend's top-of-the-line IIci, etc.  Some might have big
screens, some little, some color--some might even have several
screens.  Very different machines at some levels, but still all
Macintoshes.

Nice work, Apple.
