Does there exist a list showing which Inits or CDEV are (not) compatible with A/UX 2.0 ? For example SCSIProbe2.01 crashes.

Most likely because it tries to make use of the _SCSIDispatch selector, which is not present on the A/UX 2.0(.1) system - no SCSI Manager support. Tech Note #229, especially the new revised one, soon to open near your cinema, is a good place to check for issues with Mac binaries that will not work with A/UX. BTW, I've had sleepless nights pondering about why I thought that the _HFSDispatch was used to fake multiple monitors, I have a vague feeling that it's _SCSIDispatch that someone had patched in order to create multiple partitions (one way to do it), anyway sometimes you get overflooded with information, and the brain can't build patterns fast enough.

And SuperClock 3.9 gives a bomb box if it's in your system folder when you log in to a 24- or 32-bit Mac environment with A/UX 2.0. This is rather special: nothing else I have fails as spectacularly. SuperClock 3.1, which works otherwise, jams the Finder if you attempt to use its control panel interface from a 32-bit environment. As to other CDEVs and INITs, I've tried a few freely-available ones, and junked them if they fail. I have not kept a tally. Currently working are Serial Mapper 2.3 (only relevant if you have a Taniwha CommCard); DepthGauge 2.0.18; ShortCut 1.0.1 (commercial from Aladdin; good stuff); and OnCue 1.3 (also commercial). As a matter of interest, can anybody point to a problem-free menu-bar clock? -- Dominic Dunlop

It's given me no problems since my upgrade to 2.0 (and works equally fine under 2.0.1). >As to other CDEVs and INITs, I've tried a few freely-available ones, and >junked them if they fail.

SuperClock! 3.9 works for me as well (IIfx, A/UX 2.0, global system folder). Other INITs which work in my environment: IconWrap 1.2, !DeskPict 1.1, SUM Partition, ColorFinder, Messages, Public Folder, RAM Disk, Suitecase II, Transform, Type Reunion. John Dundas Jet Propulsion Laboratory

This is >rather special: nothing else I have fails as spectacularly. I have the same problem. I get a Bomb ( = 1) when I run SuperClock! 3.9 from sumex. I had to log in using the Console Emulator so I could delete the INIT. This is A/UX 2.0, MacIIcx, 8 Meg, logged in as root, either 32 bit, or 24 bit. I have a 80 Meg and 330 Meg disk. I have NO aditional INITs. I copied it from my MacOS folder on my 80 Meg disk. It works fine there. Does ANYONE have any clue why SuperClock! 3.9 works for some but not others? -- Bruce G.
