I am going to be getting an upgrade on my Mac II to a IIfx soon (*YEAH*), but I am worried about this memory manager bug that has been discovered in the 512K ROMs. Sooooooo, is there going to be a bugfix implemented in ROM so that new new machines will not have this problem, and if so, how do I make sure that the motherboard I get when I take my machine in has the new ROMs and not the old buggy ROMs. I am perfectly happy to wait as long as 2 or 3 months if the bugfix is due RSN. I think it would be worth it to make sure that I don't have to play with some kind of INIT to patch the problem... (For those new to the net, RSN = "Real Soon Now.") The preceding has been another fine product from the fevered brain of wirehead@oxy.edu "When you need the looniest opinions around, and you care enough to send only the very best, use wirehead..."fnordfnordfnordfnordfnordfnordfnordfnord

It's coming; there was mention over on c.s.m.programmer last week of something called MMInit, from Apple, which would fix the problem. However, it's still a bit flaky (people running it have reported more crashes than usual in normal use), so they're still working on it. I would think, though, that it is a case of "Real Soon Now," and not "Right after System 7." :-) | Francis Stracke | My opinions are my own.
