I'm not sure that this should have gone to .programmers or .hardware, but here goes. What with the discussion of some incompatibilities of the IIci with (especially older) programs, can someone detail exactly what it is that is different with the ci? Would it be hardware (interrupt vectors, etc?) or software (requires being truly 32 bit clean?). Just curious.... --------------------------------------------------------------------- - Bob Wier Northern Arizona University summer:Ouray, Colorado winter:Flagstaff, Arizona USENET: ...arizona!naucse!rrw | BITNET: WIER@NAUVAX | WB5KXH

Bob, You guess it...applications MUST be "32-Bit Clean". Remember that the Mac IIci has 32-Bit QuickDraw in ROM. Fabian Ramirez SuperMac Technology fabian@cup.portal.com sun!cup.portal.com!fabian

I know this has worked for me and my IIcx with both SuperPaint and AirWarrior. Check around the Preferences dialogs for something like this in an application which dies. -MSM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark S.
