- I have been trying for days to get MCL V2.0 to work. Here's the story:
-
- 0. I have a IIci with 4MB of RAM, running System 7.0.0 + Tuneup. I use Init
- Manager (Baseline Publishing) to control my INITs. MCL 2.0b1 ran on
- it with no trouble. I use virtual memory {14MB) and do not use 32-bit
- mode.
-
- 1. I copied the MCL 2.0 folder from the final-edition CDROM. I put ptable
- into the correct folder (even though it isn't needed). I rebooted the
- system. The ptable icon came up x-ed out (which it should). I then
- double-clicked the MCL 2.0 icon, and after a lot of disk activity I get
- a DS Bomb - "MCL 2.0" Error Type 7.
-
- 2. I tried it without inits, except for Init Manager. Same problem.
-
- 3. I tried it without ANY startup code (booting with shift key pressed) and
- MCL came up, but with insufficient memory, since virtual memory is
- apparently one of the startup resources.
-
- 4. I replaced Init Manager with Apple's Extension Manager V1.6. Same problem.
-
- 5. I removed the Syquest disk that had my copy of MCL 2.0, and double-clicked
- the original on the CDROM. Same problem.
-
- There are a few more things I need to try, but they get increasingly intrusive
- to my configuration. Before I move all the INITs to a non-system folder,
- replace all the System files, or add more real memory, I will ask you all a
- couple of questions:
-
- What is an Error Type 7?
- Are there known problems with defective CDROMs? (I could try extracting MCL
- from the virtual floppies).
- Are there known INIT problems, or problems with 7.0.0 + Tune-up?
- Do I need 7.0.1 or 7.1.0 beta?
- Why do I ask so many questions?
-
- Please help me before I dust off my C++ compiler :-)
