HC < 2.0 will crash as soon it makes nifty calls to the sound manager. I've used HC 1.01 together with 6.07, I was able to play all sort of sounds, but when I tried the "dial" command (through the speaker) it made an awful crash.

As far as I know, the only compatibility problem here is with sound: 6.0.7 incorporates the new System 7.0 Sound Manager, and anything 1.2.5 does with sound (beeps, "play", etc.) may cause a crash under 6.0.7. As far as I can tell, there are no other problem areas for this combination; however, no warranty expressed or implied. Actually, unless you have one of the new Macs that requires it (Classic, IIsi or LC), there's no real reason you need to upgrade to 6.0.7. 6.0.5 is compatible with both 1.2.5 and 2.0. -- ========= jeanne a. e. devoto ======================================== jdevoto@apple.com | You may not distribute this article under a jdevoto@well.sf.ca.us | compilation copyright without my permission. ______________________________________________________________________ Apple Computer and I are not authorized | CI$: 72411,165 to speak for each other. |
