I was reading this weeks INFO WORLD, where the statment was made that System 7.0 is not compatable with Apple's 8:24 GL (sic) card. Does anyone know if this extends to the 8:24 card; i.e., the version without the graphics co-processor? I've tried to install Sys. 7.0 on a IIci with the 8:24. Seems to work OK until I move some of my old (but compatable) INITs, etc. into the system folder. At that point, upon re-boot the system fails to come up, complaining with an "unimplemented trap" error. The system file must be mortally corrupted at this point, because removing the INITs does NOT remove the problem. The annoying part is a collegue in the building is up and running fine with these same extensions, on a IIci WITHOUT the 8:24. I can't explain it.... I like my 8:24, but if it comes down to it...I'll yank the muther out... Rick Brownrigg Kansas Geological Survey

It works fine on the 8.24GC card, except the acceleration aspects are disabled (i.e., it becomes a very expensive 8.24 card until the updated INIT is released) -- Chuq Von Rospach >=< chuq@apple.com >=< GEnie:CHUQ or MAC.BIGOT >=< ALink:CHUQ SFWA Nebula Awards Reports Editor =+= Editor, OtherRealms Book Reviewer, Amazing Stories ---@--- #include <standard/disclaimer.h> Recommended: ORION IN THE DYING TIME Ben Bova (Tor, Aug, ***-); SACRED VISIONS Greeley&Cassutt (Tor, Aug, ****+); MEN AT WORK George Will (****); XENOCIDE Orson Scott Card (August, ****)

When acceleration is turned off, it should work fine, as does the 8*24. The reason for this is that the Extension which accelerates quickdraw is not compatible with 7. -- Mark Wilkins -- ******* "Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitude!" ********** *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------* * Mark R.
