Greetings, I can't seem to get MacOberon to work. I ftp'd it from apple.com, unstuffed, etc, then launched it. I get a system error. I tried downloading it 3 times, running it on 3 IIcx's. No luck. Any suggestions? I'm really interested in getting it to work. Thanks. Nate. gasser@eniac.seas.upenn.edu -- "Pessimism is not the same as Realism, and Optimism is not the same as Ignorance."

What I want to know is, who's the joker/idiot/incompetent/egotist/etc. who decided that it absolutely *had* to use a 68020 or better (and, from another message I just read, a large screen)? Maybe you've heard of the Mac Classic? Or a strange machine with a large installed base called the Mac SE? Growl. ++Brandon -- Me: Brandon S.

Most likely the same person who decided to give this to you free of charge! Please, do make your own which has all of these terrible design decisions corrected.

Oh, and source code to work from, assuming it's not in the package to begin with (as it is, being marked 68020&up it's marked for archival on a tape offsite, since I don't have the time to worry about stuff that *might* be made to work on my machine if I'm lucky). ++Brandon -- Me: Brandon S.

BTW, MacOberon also uses the FPU, so LC users can not use it without the PseudoFPU init (available on sumex).

For what it's worth: MacOberon does not recognize the Dove Marathon 030 card in my Mac II and refuses to load on the grounds that I have a 68000! I guess that's my problem. --Andy Holey --U. of Minnesota
