    Try inserting "put toCard" between the two lines to see if the

You could also use TaifunBoot. It's a nice program.. It can be easily
configured to be virtually invisible.. If you press a modifier key
(of your choice), then the TaifunBoot screen comes up and lets you
choose a different System folder to boot.

SolarianGS is VERY much like the Mac version! I have not had any problems
with this program. I have a ROM 01, 4Mb RAM, Sys 6.  Have you tried
"shift booting" before launching SolarianGS? You may want to try to down-
load another copy. Try ccosun.caltech.edu

  You're trashing someone's allocated memory.  You shouldn't do that.
MattIsm: People, _always_ use QuickDraw's QDStartUp to allocate screen
memory and initialize the graphics subsystem for you.  If you don't,
you interfere with the smoothlaunch mechanism that's in 6.0, and you
annoy people like me who like their OS extensions (GNO) to be able
to recognize when a program is taking over the screen.  There are
much better ways to start up with a blank SHR screen than doing what you're
doing.. but whether a blank SHR screen is even necessary is debatable.

  IMHO, I like programs that, if they must put up a splash screen,
turn on QuickDraw, set the palettes to all black (during the
vertical retrace, say, so you don't get tearing) and then fade in
the picture.  Like AWGS does it.  It's nice and it's also guaranteed
to be compatible with future revisions of GNO &/or Switch-It! that
just might do some things that surprise you.

  So, how's it going Amrit? :-)

Amrit, I don't know why you are having "ghost" pixels, but I wonder if you are
allocating the SHR screen with the Memory Manager before you start writing to
it.

Ok, here's my suggestion (although you've proobably tried it, this seems to be
the BEST way of going about it): set the SCB's for each line to zero, then make
all colors in color table $0 BLACK ($000).  Then when you turn on the display,
it will show only a BLANK, black screen!  This is also the fastest way to clear
the display to black.  If you want, you can then fade in all the colors once
you've drawn everything you want.  Hope this helps...

From: mark@pokey.jsc.nasa.gov (Mark Manning)
Subject: Re: Microsoft Softcard problems
Organization: NASA
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1993 15:27:31 GMT

I have a CP/M card on my //e.  The reason I haven't transferred it to
the //gs is because the layout of the //gs is incompatible with what
the Microsoft card expects.

If you are unfamiliar with how the Softcard works, here is how:  Like other
cards for the Apple, the Softcard works on the off cycle of the Apple.  Or
in other words - the Apple computer produces a squared sine wave.  When the
wave is at one - the Apple computer does its work.  When the wave is at
zero, everything else does its work (including the Softcard).  Well, to make
a long story short - the Softcard expects the wave to be X long whereas
the //gs' wave is slightly shorter (or Y long).  The difference causes the
Softcard to go out of sync.  Now, this could all be a bunch of bunk.  I'm
not an electrician or a EEE person.  But I know about the sine wave, how it
works, and how it affects various things.  I also know that even in slow
mode the //gs is still faster than the //e.  Thus, it stands to reason that
the Softcard (which was made to ][+ standards) will not work properly on a
//gs.  It works ok on a //e (though every now and then it won't boot for
the same reason).

Your best bet is, if you want CP/M, to get a much newer card which was made
for the //e (or //gs).  If you are determined to use the Softcard, then I
would suggest turning off any kind of an accelerator you might have and
placing the system into its slowest mode.  This will help the Softcard with
trying to work with your system.

Keyboard problem:

The CP/M card has its own memory.  Certain of these memory locations were
mapped via ROM into specific places in the ][+'s memory so things like
reading the keyboard, writing to the disk drive, etc... could be accomplished
easily.  Unfortunately, these are not the same _exact_ memory locations
in the //gs anymore (which is why some DOS 3.3 programs do not work
properly under ProDOS).  Since the //gs does not read a keyboard in the
same manner as the //e did, it is to be expected that the Softcard would
have problems with this (and other things).  Again, your best bet is to
sell the Softcard and buy a CP/M card which is made for the //gs.

Of course, if you were REALLY industrious (sp?) you could rewrite the
CP/M operating system so it would allow for these changes.  No? ;)

Unless you have a RAMFast, you can only boot the first partition
of a hard drive. Another option is putting both Systems on the
first partition and renaming them as needed.
ie: 5.0.4: System504
    6.0: System

System 6 will boot.

  5.0.4: System
  6.0: System6

System 5.0.4 will boot.
 
This assumes the ProDOS file in the root directory is compatible with
both Systems, else it too would need to be renamed.
 
Or you could junk the unstable program.

Make sure you're using a double density disk; if you format a high density disk
on a GS without a SuperDrive, the LC won't be able to read it.  If you then
format a high density disk on the LC, which does have a SuperDrive, the GS
won't know what to do with it.

I don't think so -- the ProDOS FS init keeps Macintosh file type and 
creator information in the resource fork of files on ProDOS disks.  In fact,
it will add resource forks to Mac files without them when the files are put

Heh, boy did you step in it.  1) I work for a company that develops medical
software for hospitals, ambulance services, nursing homes, private practices,
etc.  When the software is written correctly, setting up a network of machines
using TCP/IP is just as easy as any other.  Even if it weren't, these people
require a consultant to come in and solve mundane problems anyway.  2) One of
the reasons for writing TCP/IP for the IIgs is because in the next couple of
years, you're going to see a lot more K-12 schools on the Internet.

Care to go another round?

I will admit that in many respects AppleTalk is better for smaller networks,
but the trend is toward massive connectivity and WAN's.  That is the real

I tried (twice) to put a 65802 in a Laser 128/EX that I had.  The

with a standard 65c02 in there.  I would say that the '802 is not

I have better luck and easier time doing it this way.
1.  format a 800K disk on your Mac
2.  put it in your IIgs running System 6.0 with the HFS installed.
3.  It will recongnize the Mac disk and you can copy your AW files to them
or as test files if the Micorsoft Works will not recgnize AW files.

 I found this easier than using the Apple File Exchange route.

>(Jump up and down...clap hands...squeal with glee)

  Whoa! Don't have a heart attack or otherwise damage yourself
before we can get you 1.1! :-)  Jumping up and down is dangerous,
ya know. :-)

  A sort-of press release will be posted soon, describing what
features will and will not be in 1.1.  We had to change our plans
for the 1.1 release, due to some external factors.
