I have a Mac IIci running System 6.0.5. I try to run many of my games that used to work fine on my older Mac Plus and all I get is a crash...ID=1. Using INIT CDEV 3.0, I turned off all inits, then turned off the cache RAM in the General CDEV, and try but it didn't help. Games like Air Traffic Controller 4.0 Continuum 1.01 MacGolf ... etc. Does anyone out there know why the Bus Errors (ID=1)? How can I get around this problem?

No solution, sorry, but the November 1990 issue of Macworld has an article about "The Vise of Progress" describing some of the reasons why some software has problems with the IIci. Rather long article, so I won't type it in :-), but it could be either because Apple started using PMMU in the IIci , or (more likely) the games are coded for a 16MHz clock rate and not the 25MHz. In either case check with the game vendor. Good luck....
