- Bzzzzt! Upgrade3.0.app wins, you lose :-) I did the same thing under PR2, but
- Icon.app under 2.x is positively stable compared with Icon.app under 3.0 PR2.
- But then I've not received the 3.0 release yet, so maybe that was a PR2 quirk.
- But somehow, I doubt it. The upgrade process probably marked Icon.app for
- removal for good reason.
-
- Now what I do is boot from my 2.1 MOD and mount my HD whenever I really need to
- use Icon.app. Not the slickest solution, but it works.
-
- By the way, has anyone with 3.0 and a PLI SuperFloppy 2.8 tried to initialize a
- NeXT floppy? Under PR2, I can initialize DOS and Mac floppies, but not NeXT.
- I get cylinder group magic number errors that fsck, disk, etc. can't seem to
- repair. I hope it's not my drive and the problem's gone in 3.0.
