[comp.sys.mac] Bug in "Kolor" cdev?

I was working on my Mac SE, equipped with a Radius Accelerator (more
on that in my next post), and I noticed that the "Kolor" cdev, which
lets you add color to windows, menus, and controls, had appeared in my
cdev list, even though I wasn't using a Mac II. I clicked on it, and the
machine promptly died. This happened in several applications, including the
Finder.

If I didn't know better, I'd say that Kolor isn't checking for the presence
(or absence) of Color QuickDraw....

If you are using a 68020 board of *any* brand, watch out for this.

Just change the 'mach' resource to be
	'$3FFF $0000'
as documented in IM Volume V (APDA Draft), Page 17-6 (Control Panel).

Palomar's Colors cdev does this, and thus is not visible except
on a Mac II.  I would be suprised if Russ didn't get this right
on his released version of Kolor, as he researched all the
other issues very thoroughly.
