I can't seem to get Solarian II 1.02 to work on my IIfx. I'm using the Apple 8.24 card Apple Two Page Display. I have the Monitors cdev set to 256 colors (or gray levels, not that it matters). It starts up fine, and the opening screen and high score screen are displayed. But as soon as the game starts -- a *big* crash. Is this a known problem, or possibly an INIT conflict (I'm not running that many, and they're almost all commercial products and very stable: Suitcase II, QuicKeys, ATM, TypeAlign, Disktop INIT, Shield, etc.). Any light you could shed on this would be appreciated. -- Steve Baumgarten | "New York... when civilization falls apart, Davis Polk & Wardwell | remember, we were way ahead of you." baumgart@esquire.dpw.com | cmcl2!esquire!baumgart | - David Letterman

False. It (version 1.02) works on my IIci, which ALWAYS has 32-BQD turned on (it's in ROM). The previous version did not work, however. -- --Adam schabtac@stout.atd.ucar.edu Disclaimer: The above has nothing to do with NCAR.

I have noticed that some programs crash becuase of the combination of two monitors and the init ( SuperPaint 2.0 worked great until I got a second monitor!)

I think the problem with Solarian is not 32-bit quickdraw, but with 24-bit video cards (which are generally running 32-bit quickdraw which probably accounts for the confusion). I ran it on a system which had *both* a 24-bit (RasterOps) card and an 8-bit Apple card. 32-bit QD was running, and both cards were in 8-bit mode. It would not run correctly on the 24-bit card, but ran fine if I dragged it over to the 8-bit screen. Note that the Apple 8.24 is a 24-bit board, by my definition, even when running in 8-bit mode. I have run across other programs which have problems with 24-bit cards--I am not sure why.
