- 030/MAC+ AID CDEV
-
- If you’ve experienced inexplicable bombs with your new 030 board from Dove,
- particularly while printing, it may be because one of the Toolbox Traps
- (_Fix2Long) is not implemented after the 030 is installed. _Fix2Long is
- a routine that is called by most word processing, page layout, and
- graphics applications and if not implemented, usually results in a bomb
- when the application tries to access it.
-
- Dove will undoubtedly issue a revision to its software interface that
- cures this problem. In the meantime, the 030/MAC+ AID CDEV offers a
- quick,free fix that will immediately expand the number of applications you
- can use with the 030 in place.
-
- 030/MAC+ AID is a Control Panel Device that checks the current status of
- the _Fix2Long trap on your Macintosh, and if it is not implemented, offers
- the option to install the trap. Once the option to install is exercised,
- the trap is immediately installed and on subsequent startups, automatically
- installed until the option is cancelled through the CDEV, or the CDEV is
- removed from your System file.
-
- This version of the 030/MAC+ AID CDEV is optimized for the Macintosh Plus,
- but will work for other Macintosh ROMs.
-
- To use, drag 030/MAC+ AID to your System file. It will be immediately
- available through the Control Panel. Each time it is accessed, it makes
- a direct check of the Toolbox trap tables and the routines they point to
- to see if _Fix2Long is implemented. If it is not, you are advised and
- have the option to install the trap.
