I use and appreciate SuperCard 1.5, but do agree with the
frequent complaint that it's too slow. So when we were given a IIfx A/UX
system for evaluation, I thought it was a great opportunity to see how
my built-on-a-IIcx project would run on a machine which was a bit faster.
Using a 10meg Mac partition, I moved over all necessary files, and tried to
run it, first in 32-bit mode ('SuperCard is not 32-bit clean') and then
in 24-bit. Although the disk wasn't locked (can you lock a hard disk
with the active system?) I got the error 'disk is locked or insufficient
disk space'. SuperCard ran - just - but SuperEdit refused, using the same
error message. There was around 8meg free in the partition...
It's a new system, and I'm not familiar with it yet, but there must be
someone out there who's tried SuperCard and A/UX. I called Silicon Beach,
who told me they hadn't done any testing with that combination, and to
use system 6.0.5 instead. This might make me unpopular with our UN*X
people, though...
Any ideas?
