[comp.protocols.appletalk] FastPath Manager Crashes on System 7.0b4

eljazzar@utkux1.utk.edu (Mohamad El Jazzar) (05/13/91)

This question may not be appropriate to this list, but it seems to be the
closest:

Did anyone try to run the FastPath Manager on a Mac running System 7.0b4?
It always crashes when looking for k-boxes with "address error".  This
happens for both version 5.1 and 5.2.1 (latest version) of the manager.

(Mac SE, 4/40, System 7.0 beta 4)

For me, running a MacII (with MMU) and 7.0b4, FPM 5.2.1 doesn't crash, but it
does splatter some odd characters across the screen.  Seems to work, though.

I've seen this as well, but only when using it across LocalTalk. When I
use FPMgr with Phase 2 EtherTalk as the selected interface, I get some
strange behavior, but never crashing. 

Make sure that both virtual memory and 32-bit addressing are both
disabled. The word I have from Shiva is that FPMgr doesn't deal well
with either. 

Hope this helps,
