'slt1' and 'nubs' calls) always returns 0 on the IIsi (i.e. no NuBus slots), whether or NOT there is a NuBus adapter card in it (so if you have a routine that asks how many NuBus slots there are in your current machine, and then trys to talk to those cards it won't work on the IIsi). I was told this was a "feature" and not a "bug" because thats the way the gestalt programmer intended it to work. Oh well, I've had to go back to "if I'm on a IIci, then I have 3 slots...". Thought y'all might be interested. Mark -- --------------------------------- Mark Dawson Service Diagnostic Engineering AppleLink: Dawson.M Apple says what it says; I say what I say.

According to the draft 6.0.7 release notes I ftp'd from apple.com just a few days ago, it says: "Two selectors ('slt1' and 'nubs') have been replaced by one new and improved ('sltc') selector. The GestaltNuBusConnector selector will return a bitMap indicating the location and number of NuBus slots in the machine. For example, on a Macintosh II the result would be %1111110000000000 indicating 6 slots starting with slot 9." Why do comments come to mind about one hand not knowing what the other is up to...?
