Does anyone know of any problems with 6.0.5 and the mouse. We just installed 6.0.5 and the mouse starts to move errantly across the screen. A couple of machines have experienced this, SE's and SE/30's. Any ideas? Pete

Last I heard, A+ was working on fixing this, but I don't recall whether they'd resolved the problem or not. Other 3rd-party ADB devices may have similar problems due to some changes Apple made in the ADB drivers (for compat. with the IIfx). Check with your manufacturer to be sure...

Russotto russotto@eng.umd.edu russotto@wam.umd.edu Kensington recommends that all ADB Macs running 6.0.5 install an INIT on their machines which is supposed to guarantee that their ADB Turbo mouse will work. They don't say that you will always have problems, just that you may have problems. There are pretty significant changes with the ADB Manager in 6.0.5. This INIT was posted to binaries awhile ago. It can be obtained from Kensington or probably be reposted.

I'm curious as to Apple Computer's instructions to its dealers regarding System 6.0.5. I'm told by one of the local dealers in New York City that the upgrade must be purchased and may not be copied off them. Is this true? Of course, they're selling it at $49.95, which is much more expensive than the $35 that APDA charges. And the APDA versions don't have user documentation either. =============================================================================== Kok-Yong Tan can be contacted via: | "Oscularis fundamentum!"

Is this true? I have gone to my local "certified" apple dealer and he
copied them for me FREE right before my very eyes and customers too.
Didn't seem like this was illegal. Either your getting shafted, or I
am getting a GREAT deal! (BTW: I gave him my original system disks to
copy over.) What gives?

Could someone tell me what's so special with System 6.05?
I'm forced to upgrade my MacPlus to 6.05 because HC 2.0 don't work
with any older System.
After using System 6.05 for about two weeks, I find it slow (updating windows
for exemple) and I'm also asking myself why I have so many mysterious crashes
since the upgrade.
So... Does anybody know what's in System 6.05 that HC 2.0 can't live without?
or... What is the difference between 6.04 and 6.05?

TextEdit 3.0 and Sound Manager fixes. HC 2.0 uses TextEdit, the Macintosh OS text editing facility for its handling of text in fields, etc. TE 3.0 provides full Script Manager compatability which means that HC 2.0 can now handle multi-lingual text in its fields. Also, there were changes/fixes made to the Sound Manager which HC needs... Leonard Rosenthol Software Ventures -- Leonard Rosenthol Software Ventures Corp. MicroPhone II Development Team
