[comp.sys.mac] Radius QuickColor/Mac IIci

jfh@enzyme.berkeley.edu (John Heckendorn) (10/21/89)

This may have been asked before, but I couldn't find it in my
archives:

I've recently tried using a Radius QuickColor (QD accelerator)
card (with Radius monitor and color video card) on a Mac IIci.
However, the software installer returns a message that the IIci
is an unknown machine and can't proceed, and when I drag the
QC init to the System Folder and reboot, I get a message that the
32-bit QuickDraw in the IIci is incompatible with the init.  Adding
the Radius-supplied 32-bit QD init will not override the 32-bit
QD in the ci's ROM.

Has anyone worked out a patch for this?  I've tried reaching Radius
without success (phone lines out here are still jammed at times)?

Thanks!

Yes!  Radius has!  Contact our Technical Support people at (408) 434-1012
(I think that's the number - I never call it myself).  I don't know if
we have "officially" release the new version of the QuickColor init, but
they should be able to get you the latest "beta" version of it (which
from what I've seen seems to fix the problem with no additional problems).
There is also a new version of II Display for the Mac IIci - you'll want
to request this too.

}Thanks!

No problem!  Glad I could help.  If you have problems getting this stuff
from Tech Support, ask whoever you're talking to to give me a call (Steve
Lemke in Engineering) and I'll talk to them about it.  Good luck getting
through on those lines - I think the bay area phone lines are starting to
settle down a bit now and hopefully you can get through.  Worst case, you
can reply to this news posting and/or write to me on AppleLink through
the Internet:  Radius.QA@applelink.apple.com
