I just tried to install Vaccine V1.0 into a Mac IIci with a Radius Fullpage Display. The machine hangs during the boot sequence. Vaccine V1.0 is dated Mar'88, I just got V1.0.1 off Sumex-Aim, but it's dated Dec'88 - so, I'm not sure I'll even bother trying it. Is there an updated version of Vaccine that is IIci safe?

I've used Vaccine 1.01 on my ci with no ill effects. Terry Disclaimer et la Signaturo: Hell no, I'm not responsible for what I say! If everyone were responsible for what they said, we'd have had a balanced budget in 1984.

The machine hangs during the boot sequence. Anything that draws during the boot sequence is likely to hang your IIci. Apple has a recent technote (numbered 200 something) explaining why this is, but of course most INITs predate this warning. I get this if I install Vaccine along with KillVirus, which would normally trigger off a Vaccine warning about KillVirus installing a CODE resource. Try booting with everything except Vaccine, to let anything that wants reconfigure the System file. Then add Vaccine & reboot. This works for us just fine. (Dayna's "DOS Mounter" init had the same symptoms, at least in the demo that SUMEX has, but they just sent us an updated version that is IIci compatible).
