[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] HC 2.0 doesn't work with IIfx Finder 6.1.7 System 6.0.7

martin@cs.uchicago.edu (Charles Martin) (04/04/91)

I have a Mac IIfx with Finder 6.1.7 and System 6.0.7.  When I start
Hypercard 2.0, using Open or double clicking the App or the Home
Stack, I get the menubar but no cards.  If I do Open Stack from within
Hypercard, I still get no cards.  Just the menubar.  Is this a known
bug?

I have had similar problems, plus this under multifinder:

	Coprocessor not found

This requires rebooting the machine.

I am running the same configuration, and  both Charles and I have
Radius TPD/19s.  I thought at first that the problem might be due
to the Radius MATH init but removing the init made no difference.

Hypercard does seem to work ok under Finder.

Well, by removing all inits and slowly reinstalling them, I found
the offending init:  Electric Dvorak and its companion, Keyboard Shortcuts.
recall that the error was

     Coproccessor not found

I don't expect much sympathy here, but gee it sure would be nice if
someone on the HyperCard team could find a patch, since Electric Dvorak
*does* seem to work w/ everything else.  (Well, there are a few
wrinkles here and there, but no crashes.)

The problem is that HC 2.0 did not like the WDEF I was using from the
WindChooser INIT found on SUMEX.
