[comp.sys.mac.misc] IIsi problems

kingson@uxh.cso.uiuc.edu (Kingson Gunawan) (03/29/91)

I have a IIsi 2/40 that I just bought about 2 weeks ago.  I have several problem
s already with the system:
        1. While I copy a QMS PS-410 utility disk, it always crashed with
           system error exectly when it copies the sample folder.
        2. I ran Shanghai 2.0 when the game is done (I lost) after the
           the sound the program made the system crashed if I choose
           to restart a game.
        3. Some other assorted problems.
Now, my questions are:
        1. Is there a different between IIsi 3/40 and 2/40 besides the memory
           configuration?
        2. Is the problem copying the disk in (1) above happens with other
           IIsi or some sort of problem with my hardware or system?
        3. Does the program in (2) above have problem with any IIsi?
My IIsi configuration is:
	IIsi 2/40
	external HD 105
	RasterOps 24s with NuBus Adapter driving Seiko CM1445
	Abaton InterFax 24/96
	QMS PS-410
	both HD's were formatted using OnTrack HD management software
	Inits: ColorFinder, DeskPict, RasterOps Ext, TMON, Rival,Window,
	       Init Cdev, Directory Assistance, After Dark 2.0, Mouse 2
Any from you guys out there I greatly appriciate it.

This is because QMS has some files in this folder that begin with a period,
which is a no-no!  Before copying the disk, rename the files so that
they don't start with a period, then copy.

This is a known problem with Shanghai 2.0; contact Activision/Mediagenic 
to find out when the bugfix version will be released (or send me mail
and I can send you a patch you can do with ResEdit).
