I have had many Bus error bombs on my Mac LC running System 6.0.7. When I use Suitcase II with MacroMaker and startup Mutifinder, every thing is fine. But, when I do the same, and start-up with Finder - I get a Bus error. I thought Finder was suppose to be more stable than Multifinder. The other time I get a Bus error is when I tried to edit a fkeys ID in ResEdit 2.1. I get a Bus error. My question is - What is a Bus error, and does anyone know what is going on here? Is this a known bug? Many thanks, =Mike -- = Michael K.

A number of INIT conflicts under Finder disappear under MultiFinder, and I believe most people feel that memory management under MF is quite a bit better than under "UniFinder." I've never had luck with SuperLaserSpool under Finder, for ex., but under MultiFinder it's just fine, and the manufacturer acknowledges that (though they claim that the crashes can be fixed by increasing the size of the System heap). If you're fine under MultiFinder, you might just want to shrug your shoulders and forget running under Finder.
