I and my friends got 5.0.3 from the developer CD 'night of the living disc' a few months ago -- I've been experiencing some isolated file trashing errors (mostly with shrconvert 2.1) and recently they've gotten worse. In fact things got so weird that I am now back on 5.0.2 until I can get an official release copy of 5.0.3. My sources tell me that the copy of 5.0.3 on the developer CD was only there so that people could demo the hypercard GS beta ... does anyone know what is really going on here?

The only thing changed between Living Disc and golden master is the Laserwriter driver. -- ____________________________________________________________________________ | | | Parik Rao, Univ. of California Santa Barbara... 6600prao@ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu | |_America Online:AFA Parik_______________________________________GEnie:P.RAO_|

That means that something altogether different was causing the random disk block overwrites. Maybe it's the ZipGS and the Ramfast firmware driver corrupting the O/S cache and causing blocks to get written back to disk with the wrong data in them...? What is the 'known incompatibility' between the Zip and the Ramfast anyway, and are Zip &/or CVT going to mail me or do I have to call them? Todd Whitesel toddpw @ tybalt.caltech.edu

You should send your Zip Chip GSX back to Zip and they will perform a small modification (a rewire I believe). You may wish to call them and ask how to do the mod yourself, but I'd recommend against it. Something else to check is the seeming incompatibilities between the Apple SCSI drivers and the RAMFast. I had problems having them both online (however, I didn't have a DMA SCSI online at the same time...) At any rate, if you do have another SCSI card in your system, remove the RAMFast driver. It'll chug it down a bit slower, but your other SCSI card will function properly. -- ____________________________________________________________________________ | | | Parik Rao, Univ. of California Santa Barbara... 6600prao@ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu | |_America Online:AFA Parik_______________________________________GEnie:P.RAO_|

There was a compatiblity problem with ZipGSX and RAMFast several weeks ago in Nov. it was hammered out a week after it appeared. The problem was on the ZipGSX. The latest version of ZipGSX is 1.01 or something like that. You should get in contact with Zip if you have version 1.00 in anycase. Uh oh, NOW what...
