Is it me? Solarian? MacsBug Beta? Its highly unlikely that Macsbug is responsible for the bomb. More than likely, Macsbug takes up some memory, and Solarian loads at a different location, and a dangling pointer in Solarian which happened to hit an innocent byte in memory now hits an important byte, and you bomb. The original Solarian crashed on a IIci, and had to be upgraded to wor. I wouldn't be surprised if the same was true of the IIsi. David

Never tried the older 1.03 on the IIsi. Shareware fee $25. P.S.
