The system shipping with all the new macs is v. 6.0.7. Other than support for the particular new machines, this system permits a CDev sound recorder via external microphone. Question: does this system "fix" any known problems with v. 6.0.5 or earlier? -- Arthur Yuter via cmhGate - Net 226 fido<=>uucp gateway Col, OH UUCP: ...!osu-cis!n8emr!cmhgate!102!823!Arthur.Yuter INET: Arthur.Yuter@f823.n102.z1.FIDONET.ORG

I have a problem... My best friend just bought a Mac Classic and being the closest thing to a Mac Hacker he know's, he had me setup his system. I did the normal install program that ships with the system. In addition, I added the Vaccine CDEV that I had. The computer would crash on startup every time. I had a couple of other things in there also but the system stopped crashing when I removed Vaccine. Does anybody know what's wrong? Is there a new Vaccine CDEV that is compatible with System 6.0.7? But wait there's more. After I got it up and running, he started to copy his old floppies on to his hard drive. While browsing through one of them (he was scrolling through the file listing), he gota "bomb" that said the math coprocessor couldn't be found. Of course, there is no math coprocessor in a Mac Classic, but why the hell is anything looking for one? Particularly the system or finder! We copied the disk and everything scrolled fine, but I really don't like seeing system errors like that. Anybody know anything about this? If anybody know's anything about these errors, please e-mail me. e-mail is best since I barely have time to read the 2 new groups I do subscribe to, let alone this one also.

I had a similar problem shortly after installing 6.0.7 on my SE/030. I don't remember exactly what I was doing at the time, but I received the error about the not being able to find the coprocessor. However, I *do* have a coprocessor on my system, hence this error bothered me a little (for about thirty seconds). I just rebooted and everthing appears to be ok, I haven't had the error since. --Jerry -- Jerry Frain -- Systems Programmer Kansas State University Department of Computing & Info Sciences Internet : jxf@cis.ksu.edu Manhattan, Kansas UUCP : ...!rutgers!ksuvax1!jxf

The error occurs when I open a font suitcase, copy all fonts into another suitcase, and then try to remove all selected fonts (thus deleting the suitcase). Welp, looks like that good ol' 68882 is vital for copying fonts now! :) bill

ok...here's an odd one. And it doesn't have ANYTHING to do with System 7.0. Our office just purchased a couple of SE/30's, one with 5 megs of ram, and one with 2. They both came installed with 6.0.7. The machines replaced an SE and another SE/30 that had a bum hd. (they'll be handed down to some lucky student staffers...wheee) ANYWAYS...i was trying to convince my boss that Suitcase WAS a very necessary thing to have, but when i threw Suitcase 1.2.8 into his System Folder, with his assortment of Quickmail, TOPS, and other miscellaneous inits, it didn't even blink when i restarted... no icon, no da, no nothing... so i did the usual, remove all the inits/cdevs except suitcase routine, but alas, still no luck... then i upgraded to 1.2.10 and still the same problem. i renamed it _(space)Suitcase, so that it would load first. Still nothing... not even Sam Intercept was installed... any ideas what the heck is going on? Works on another SE/30 fine... worse yet, works on the students' plus... maybe a tip from the author? :} ---Darryl Lee 6600dayl@ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu
