1. where can we find this new 6.OB1 Macsbug which seems to be working on a
macII/supermac screen ?
2. Is there a way of having Macsbug displaying on the standard apple b&w screen
when using also a supermac ? changing the cards didn't do anything !

MacsBug 6.0 B1 is available from A.P.D.A, the same place MPW is available from. It was sent there very recently, so I am not sure when they will be shipping it. Call APDA. MacsBug 6.0 B1 is about three times the size of MacsBug 5.5. It has many great new features, includes user definable macros and templates. I wrote all of the 5 series MacsBugs (5.1, 5.2, ... 5.5), but a new guy has written 6.0, almost from scratch. It is somewhat compatible, but is definitely a different animal. EITHER MacsBug 5.5 or MacsBug 6.0 B1 will automatically affix itself to the startup screen of a multiple screen Mac II setup. To change which monitor is the startup monitor, hold the option key down before clicking on the Monitors cdev in the Control Panel. You will then see a little face. Dragging that face to a monitor makes it the startup monitor, which means that the Startup Screen (or Welcome to Macintosh) will be displayed on that monitor. It also means that that is the MacsBug monitor. I was not able to get MacsBug 5.5 to work with lots of 3rd party displays because I did not have any access to any 3rd party displays. I asked my manager to get me a Radius FPD or a SuperMac but he would not buy it for me, so I could not get it to work. Simple, sad, but true. I still like my version of MacsBug, which is post 5.5. Maybe I can get permission to post it.... Don't hold your breath, however. The Apple Legal wheels grind slowly. Dan Allen Software Explorer Apple Computer
