I just received a new CD ROM from Apple, the Spring 1991 training disk that claims to have hypercardGS and stacks describing the new Apple II related products, including Hypercard GS itself and the Apple IIe card for the Macintosh LC. Anyway, I installed system 5.0.4 on my system and then launched hypercard GS. After reading the disk for a few seconds, my system crashes with a "System error 201" and I am forced to restart. My system is a 2.25 Meg Rom 01 GS with a Transwarp GS and a RamFast SCSI card. I have tried removing all of my additional desk accessories with no improvement. I should have enough RAM, what else could be wrong? Can anyone verify that the version of HypercardGS on this CD ROM works? I copied it onto my local hard disk for speed but I cannot get the darn thing to run. I have heard such positive things about this program that I was really looking forward to using it. Thanks in advance. Seymour Joseph

You don't have a RAMDISK of any kind do you? Seems like it could be overlooked somehow. I believe HyperCard GS requires 1.5 megs (2 megs recommended). Hmm. Dunno.. If you make progress, make sure to report it here.. -- /unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu Apple IIGS Forever! ULTIMA VI GS -mail me. CDs-mail me\ \ McIntosh Junior: The Power to Crush the Other Kids. /

Then try gooting from the system 504 disk itself. If you can boot the system 504 disk, but can't run hypercard, then you probably have a ramdisk allocated. If that doesn't work, try elaborating on what your system's setup contains (exactly). andy -- Andy Nicholas GEnie & America-Online: shrinkit Apple IIGS System Software CompuServe: 70771,2615 Apple Computer, Inc.

Thank you for your responses. Andy asked for more information so here it is: Again, I have a ROM 01 Apple IIGS. I have an octoram board with 2 one megabyte simms in it for a total of 2 meg of expansion ram. In slot 1 I have a RAMFAST SCSI board from CV Technologies. In slot 3 I have a Transwarp GS. In slot 5 I have an MDIdeas Supersonic Stereo card and digitizer. I use AppleTalk for printing so I have slot 7 set to AppleTalk. When I boot the system on my hard disk (5.0.4) I have 808k in use, 1495k free and 0k in ram disk When I try to launch hypercard by double clicking on it, or on a stack, it crashes with a "system error 201 occurred while loading the next program" When I boot from a system 5.0.4 system.disk master modified only by having the RAMFAST driver added and the 5.25" driver removed, I have 612k in use and 1691k free. I still have a 0k ramdisk. The system crashes exactly the same way. The Hypercard on the CD ROM was created Wed Dec 5 1990 at 4:10pm and the last modified date is Wed Dec 5 1990 at 5:58 pm. The file is 649,910 bytes long. I had to go through a lot of trouble to borrow a CD ROM player to use this and other Apple II CD's. Everything else I copied off of CD rom works fine. I had to return the CD ROM player so I don't know what I'll do if the files are bad. The files I have in my hypercard directory are: HypercardIIGS : the program Hypercard.IIGS : supposedly a stack to show off the program Home : The home stack Apple.IIe.card : a stack to describe the apple IIe card for the Maclc Start.Here : a top level stack for the other two tour stacks Hypercard.icons: an icon file Well, can anyone think of any other information that would shed light on this subject? Again, the copy of Hypercard GS I am working with came from the 111 Spring 1991 new products CDROM from Apple. Thanks again for any pointers Seymour

I know I had a problem with Hypercard GS crashing when I had the Grafspeed NDA installed. It worked fine when I made the NDA inactive. See if you have that NDA installed. -Scott -- = R.

I give up. I will either have to borrow the CDROM player again, or go buy HypercardGS (what if I buy it and it STILL won't run?!?) Seymour
