- Also wanted to let everyone know what they are up against with AUX and the
- IIVX systems...
-
- I tried the normal IICI install and the Quadra install... both said that the
- system software level was not supported on the Vx
-
- point 1 - the VX REQUIRE 7.1, AUX is not compatible with 7.1
- This affects other that may want 7.1 but have a Quadra
- or a IIci
-
- I made a 7.1 install disk... by transferring the System files from the
- 7.1 install onto a copy of the AUX install disks.
- point 2 - 7.1 is too large for a 1.4 meg disk with the AUX install
- stuff on it... and the fonts folder is a new novelty that
- may be the cause of problems.
-
- I formated a hard disk to use as an install disk rather than a floppy. Got
- all of the system stuff straightened out, or so I thought and proceeded to
- try and install... IT WAS ACTUALLY WORKING....
- Then after the load hit a certain point, the screen went grey (this is normal
- in the install... remember the screen blanks and the load banner comes back to
- finish). With this install the loading banner never came back, the system
- was hung. So I thought to myself, the video is different (per Apple the IIVX
- uses the LCII video scheme).
- point 3 - the internal video seems to be incompatable.
-
- Not to be discouraged, I installed a TOBY video card (known to work with
- AUX on the IICi if you did not want to use internal video and slow the
- machine down....Same thing happened as before..
- point 4 - standard video did not make a difference.
-
- I can see nowhere else to go except to hound apple about this...If anyone
- knows someone high enough in Apple to get results, yet low enought to listen
- to me about this please let me know about him/her. I understand that a new
- director of AUX vars was created... If someone knows how to get to him let
- me know.
