I apologize in advance if I missed any message on this subject... Today, I've been playing "Thrill Seeker". I just put Apple's System 7.0 on my Mac SE/30 - MacMinix now blows up during boot. I get a message something along the lines of "Memory manager panic error-unable to load RAM disk" and then the Mac locks up tight and requires a hardware reset. Of course, being familiar with earlier Systems, I used BootMan to boost the System Heap size. However, it seems like System 7.0 handles System Heap differently and this didn't change the situation. Since I don't have a lot of time to play with this due to other projects, I was wondering if anyone had any infinite words of wisdom about running MacMinix 1.5.1 with System 7.0 .... Probably, I will get responses like, "Never trust any software product whose version number ends in 0", but maybe, someone out there has got MacMinix to work with System 7.0.

Don't have lot of time or infinite words of wisdow, but it appears to run quite well on my Sys 7 IIsi 5MB (no faked memory). I don't use the RAM-disk though. I did a 'while true do; date; sleep 10; done' which used to crash under Multifinder in 6.0.7 in about 4-5 minutes, but so far it hasn't crashed un 7.0 (but I haven't let it run for hours...). The 'o' still doesn't work when I select the danish keyboard... >Paul McGinnis / TRADER@cup.portal.com >"Ooops is a word that should never be used around mainframe people..." -- /| / Jan B.
