Does anyone know of a problem using MacBugs 6.0 with SuperMac Video cards? I am using a Mac II with 6.0.2,6.1, and MacBugs 6.0. MacBugs Loads and is present but when it is activated all I get is a light gray screen. I can type in commands and they get processed but nothing appears on the screen. The only thing I can think of is that I have a SuperMac ColorCard. Is there a problem with using MacBugs with other display cards? The copy of MacBugs works fine on an identical system but it has an apple video card. If there is a problem does anyone have a patch or does apple plan to fix the problem? Any help would be appeciated. Thanks -Mike Neil (The MacKid) MacKid@caen.engin.umich.edu or Mike_Neil@UB.CC.UMICH.EDU

Yup, you've found a bug in the software. I found this bug a while ago, and reported it both to SuperMac and to APDA. SuperMac claims the card is not to blame, and that the bug is with MacsBug. Apple says MacsBug is fine, and that SuperMac must be doing something wrong. In any case, the thing doesn't work if a SuperMac card is installed. It doesn't matter if the card is the main device either. Any ideas anyone?

Macsbug works fine when the Mac is set to 2-color (B&W) mode. If I know that I'm going to use Macsbug, I switch into 2-color mode (Switch-A-Roo FKey works great). Hope this helps.
