- Hi people...
- I just purchased a Quik30 Accelerator in the version 68030+68882 at 25 MHz
- for the Mac SE (HDFD) of my girlfriend. I put into it 16 Meg RAM and plugged
- the card.
- Since the beginning I had problems with the software included with the card,
- but I thought it was init conflict and did not worry too much, letting my
- girlfriend found the right combination (it's she who uses the Mac, not me :-) )
-
- Well, after a couple of days she told me she had played with the software, with
- the following results:
-
- - Mac bombed (error 11);
- - she had to get the finder from backup, as it was grown up to 3.5 Meg;
- - now the companion disk doesn't boot anymore (it was a system 6, while she
- uses System 7.0.0 in Italian);
- - the computer believes to have a 68020 (yes, neither a 68000 nor a 68030)
- without rcognizing the coprocessor.
- - the system sees 4 Meg RAM, while the motherboard has just 2, so that the card
- is seen (of course, without a 68030 I cannot use utilities to see all RAM as
- system)
-
- Any clues? please answer directly to me, as I don't read this newsgroup (my
- background is unix-oriented).
