Well, similar results exists for me. I'm running 6.0.4 on a mac Plus
with 4 megs of ram. I just recently installed a fresh 6.0.4 on my system.
With no inits and nothing else running under multifinder (except the finder
itself), MacMINIX causes an Illegal Address error and drops into macsbug
"almost". The crash is swift and painless, and leaves no clues. After it
drops into macsbug, macsbug does not respond either. The only "key" that
works is the reset button...
Any clues, Joe? I seen many others with this problem.
BTW, mine does work under unifinder but the command "term" doesn't. Has
anyone else gotten it to work? The progress of mine is limited to printing
out "Reader started" and then I get a hard crash similar to above.
Is there a fix to ps ? Mine can't read the kernel namestable (??).
Just dropping some problems on you all,

I seen many others with this problem. Well, I just checked on my Mac II and Mac IIcx, using the boot disk right out of the box, and it ran fine (Sys 6.0.3, Finder 6.1). Obviously, these are not Mac+'s, so I will try to dig one up and see if I can find the problem. Joe Pickert

Regarding term: term works fine if you make sure to use the -l option (e.g., term -s 1200 -l /dev/tty2). /dev/tty1 is the default, which under MacMINIX is the second tty window and NOT the serial line. Needless to say, it shouldn't crash the machine the way it does when you don't do it this way. Joe Pickert
