I have a Mac II with 6.0. I downloaded the ScreenDump II utility that was just posted to comp.binaries.mac, installed it, and ran it. When I ran it, the Mac played a bit of music, blanked the screen, and put up an angry mac with two rows of hex digits underneath. Bad News! So, I reboot. Same thing. So I reboot off of a floppy. Well, I got the Mac to boot, but now it doesn't see my hard disk. At all! Really Bad News! Luckily, I'm a member of the BCS Mac group, and they were able to help me somewhat. They had me clear the PRAM by holding down the Shift, Command and Option keys and clicking on the Control Panel. Then I rebooted from a floppy and got my hard drive back. Unfortunately, it doesn't recognize my network interface now. I've replaced the System file, removed the application, and cleared the PRAM again, but to no avail. Any suggestions for getting my network interface back will be gratefully accepted. My Mac is feeling very lonesome. -Nancy Connor FTP Software ...!harvard!ftp!nancy nancy@ftp.com

If you replace this, they're gone. Appleshare comes with a Workstation Installer disk which you run on your system file to configure it for network connection. Your system probably had something similar done to it. Rerun this program, or--if you came to your Mac with it already running--talk to your network administrator. ---------- General Question: Has anyone else had problems with Screendump II? I've downloaded it and wanna run it, but I'd rather not be the net's guinea pig either...

Since I didn't hear anything useful from the net, I rebuilt the System File (using the Installer to re-install the network stuff along the way), and things are back to normal. Is the person who originally wrote ScreenDump II reading this newsgroup? If so, I would really appreciate it if you would please get in touch with me. I deleted the copy off my Mac when it caused problems, and the original article has been expired here, so I no longer have your address. -Nancy Connor FTP Software ...!harvard!ftp!nancy nancy@ftp.com

I'm very surprised at the problems with it, since I've nver had any trouble with it... I got it from a PD disk a while ago, ran it, installed the FKEYs and have used it without ANY problems ever since (Mac II, System 6.0.2, Finder 6.1, No networking). Could people who have installed it OK please mail me as I'm interested in where it can fail since we'll be networking soon. As for the guy who wrote it, the info in the program says he is : Mike Whittingham Mark 3 Software, 215 Thayer Pond Road, Wilton, CT 06897 So good luck ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Graham Wills, gwills@maths.tcd.ie TCD Ireland -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
