I understand that IIci users are not supposed to use system 6.0.7 and that the Stylewriter needs 6.0.7.... So does that mean that IIci users shouldn't buy stylewriters till system 7.0 comes out??? Waaaahhhhhhhhh!!! :) Mark Sartor

You can use 6.0.7 on any Mac. We're running it on our IIci at work
and have no problems at all (and this with a slew of INITs).

I am also using a ton of INITs. So, you can buy your StyleWriter now (although why you would want one I do not know). maurice -- Maurice Sharp MSc.

I was running 6.0.5 on my IIci with no trouble at all; as soon as I "upgraded" (if that would be the right term) all *sorts* of problems appeared. Most notable: When using Apple File Exchange, selecting *any* translator other than the "text translation" bombs the system. The file is converted with no problem; Immediately after converting, the system bombs with a bus error. When using GIFFER to save a GIF file as a PICT, the system will give a bus error intermittently. Ditto copying a large PICT file from the clipboard to DeskDraw or DeskPaint. Other programs give minor problems.....nothing really major. Think twice...... Dave _________________________________________________________________________ Dave Hightower | opinion?

I "couldn't" upgrade to 6.0.7 (SE/30) because of the sound manager problems (my son has lots of stuff that won't work with the new one). SO, I decided to give the StyleWriter a go with 6.0.5. It worked! Perhaps *something* won't work properly -- but I have not found it yet. Bruce Beare bjb@pyramid.com

I had numerous crashes running 6.0.7 - particularly when running applications using sound. Cosmic Osmo crashed frequently. Superclock would take the machine down when the hour alarm sounded. Since going back to 6.0.5, I have had no problems. The two different stories I have been reading here (it works great! vs. it's trash) may relate to how much sound is generated the applications people are running. a.schnable@att.com

I have been using my StyleWriter with my SE/30 for a few days, running System 6.0.5 and have encountered no problems so far.
