- Hi,
-
- I tested E/D 1.99k a bit more, using 1.99f and 1.99j and a Quadra as references.
-
- Concerning stability it seems as though we are getting there, but I
- definitely see differences (besides the already mentioned Speedometer 3.11
- test screens that do not show colour in 1.99j and 1.99k) between
- colour availability on E/D and a Quadra.
-
- For instance Tangram and Floortiles (both games) have screens that show
- black blocks and or wrong colours in the latest two versions.
- (All is fine with 1.99f)
-
- If Ardi has Speedometer around, check the very first title screen; the icon
- showed has colour on a Mac which is missing in all versions of E/D.
-
- Also it seems that the latest two versions are *very* dependent on EMM
- availability and settings concerning performance. I timed the following:
-
- 1.99f 1.99j 1.99k
- ---------------------------
- loading E/D 7 10 41 sec.
- loading HyperCard 2.1 15 28 67 sec.
-
- figures for E/D 1.99k improved when removing EMM386 but were still much
- higher than 1.99f
-
- Anybody else having the same experience?
-
- Will test more later ...
