I loaded System 7.0 on my MAC FX and I had to go back to 6.0.5... A REAL PAIN..... After installing System 7 on my FX and upon reboot I would get the BOMB window and I got a message that said "BUS ERROR - RESTART and hold down the shift key to disable SYS EXTENSIONS. Well I did what the message said and I would get the same bomb upon reboot. I then took everything out of the System folder and reloaded 7.0 and still the same message upon reboot. Does not look good. Does anyone have a clue as to what might be happening??????? Thanks, Pete Haase

You may have an incompatible driver for your hard drive, or a NuBus card that isn't System 7 compatible. What NuBus boards do you have, what kind of hard drive, and what driver do you use to format your hard drive? -- Eric Dittman Texas Instruments - Component Test Facility dittman@skitzo.csc.ti.com dittman@skbat.csc.ti.com Disclaimer: I don't speak for Texas Instruments or the Component Test Facility.

I used the 800k installer disks to update the II I'm working on to system 7.0 (from 6.0.7), and I got the same problem you're describing. I eventually tracked the problem to the driver for my e-net board. The driver seems to be incompatable with 7.0. I used resEdit to delete it from the system file, and everything appeared to work ok (no network, though). I'm back at 6.0.7, since I need the network access. Does this problem sound familiar to anyone else? Have a day... John -- | John M.
