A question:
For some odd reason, my RasterOps ColorBoard/264 has trouble when I try
to run HyperCard 1.2.2 in 2 bit mode, specifically that it dumps me into the
debugger and begins spitting "Unimplemented A-Trap, MacsBug caused the
exception." I'm running on a Mac II with system 6.0.4., 32-bit QD v. 1.0,
and rev 1.1 of the ColorBoard/264. This problem crops up even with no inits
installed.
Is this an artifact of not having HC 1.2.5? Is it a problem with that
release? Does it have something to do with visual effects?

I have a RasterOps 264 board and have had no problems with HC 1.2.5 and sys 6.0.4 at any bit depth. - Ed Rotberg -

Apple isn't saying), and, FYI, earlier versions of the System are not compatible with HC 1.2.5. That's just the way it is. Try HC 1.2.5. If it doesn't work, ask again... << Brian >> -- | Brian S.

Now wait a minute... This might solve the problem, as some people have suggested, but that still leaves one thing unanswered. Several people have E-mailed to me that they are experiencing the same troubles except that each of them is using system 6.0.3. Don't be so quick to assume that the problem is that HC hasn't been upgraded... although I do intend to upgrade, there are others with the same problem who are running 6.0.3 and HC 1.2.2. Thanks for your help with my problem, though. It looks more like a 1.2.2 bug than an incompatibility with the system software. -- Mark Wilkins wilkins@jarthur.claremont.edu
