Recently, our lab just got a Mac II. I tried to boot up the machine with Mac Plus System 5.1 and try to run MacWrite 4.5. Then a dialog poped up with a restart button and error id 10. I also tried invoke the 4.5 under the System that came with Mac II and got the same result. Does anyone out there have the simular problem? Is there a newer version of MacWrite that works on Mac II? Any response will be appreciated. Paul C.H.

MacWrite uses the TRAP instruction, which has a different size stack frame
on the 68020. Levco has a patch for the prodigy 4, and of course the
new apple software company (when they get off the ground) will be selling
a correction, improved version.

MacWrite 4.5 is incompatible with the 68020 processor, because it uses TRAP instructions and messes around with exception stack frames. There will be a revised version out shortly which works on the 68020. -- David Goldsmith Apple Computer, Inc.
