Last night, I hooked up my shiny new H-P DeskWriter inkjet printer to my Mac-IIcx, running 6.0.4. I use DiskLock from Fifth Generation Systems because I keep some confidential clinical information on the hard disk. With the DiskLock init installed, the DeskWriter driver freezes up during a print command, and you can't break out of it with command-period. MacsBug ES command doesn't get things back, either, so you're stuck with a reboot. Does anyone know anything about this problem? - Chuck Hoffman, GTE Laboratories, Inc. | I'm not sure why we're here, cah0@bunny.gte.com | but I am sure that while we're Telephone (U.S.A.) 617-466-2131 | here, we're supposed to help GTE VoiceNet: 679-2131 | each other.

Since the time I posted this, I contacted both vendors. Fifth Generation says they have an upgrade for my DiskLock 1.0.1 to 2.0 for $30. (I did register when I got the original.) H-P says they are aware of the problem with 1.0.1, and that their DeskWriter driver is compatible with 2.0. Currently, a new copy of DiskLock goes for a little over $100 from the resellers. Does anyone know what the problem actually is, or how it was fixed? - Chuck Hoffman, GTE Laboratories, Inc. | I'm not sure why we're here, cah0@bunny.gte.com | but I am sure that while we're Telephone (U.S.A.) 617-466-2131 | here, we're supposed to help GTE VoiceNet: 679-2131 | each other.
