TOPIC
This article describes the System Update 3.0, its contents, the intended audience, and system requirements.System Update Disk v 3.0 is a set of software enhancements for any Macintosh computer running System 7.1, 7.1.1, or 7.1.2.
This update also applies to any Performa version of System 7.1.
DISCUSSION
System Update Disk v 3.0 ships in these configurations:
-
The Standard Configuration ships as two 1.4 high density floppy disks.
-
A single 800K floppy configuration. This configuration provides the features of System Update Disk v 3.0 needed by machines that may not support FDHD floppies (the Macintosh Plus, SE and Macintosh II).
General Enhancements
These general enhancements are for all Macintosh computers running 7.1 or later.
-
Provides system-level improvements to increase overall system performance and reliability on most Macintosh models.
-
Corrects a problem that allowed the system to become corrupted during a power failure or crash and prevented it from restarting.
-
Prevents a PowerBook from trying to spin up its hard drive when the system is warning you that there is only 10 seconds of battery power remaining.
-
Fixes the About This Macintosh box so the memory usage line doesn't get drawn outside of its bounds.
-
Provides a solution to prevent the file corruption that can happen when a file is being modified remotely (Remote Access or file server) and the connection is unexpectedly broken. Now, when the remote volume is lost, its icon remains dimmed on the desktop.
-
Updates the Standard File package to include many fixes and enhancements. The most significant fix allows more than 20 volumes to be mounted, and the use of color icons.
-
Provides increased reliability for remote file saving when the client is running System 7.1 or greater while the server is running a pre-7.0 System and using pre-3.0 AppleShare.
-
Fixes a problem with throwing away folders which were on an AppleShare volume. Sometimes after attempting to empty the Trash the Finder would warn you that the folder contains items that are in use and could not be deleted. The Trash now properly handles folders from AppleShare volumes.
-
Updates the Easy Access Control Panel to version 7.2, fixing a wake up problem on PowerBooks. It now remembers whether sticky keys, mouse keys, and slow keys were on or off between restarts.
-
Includes SimpleText version 1.0, which replaces TeachText.
-
Includes Apple HD SC Setup version 7.3.1
Who Should Install System Update Disk v 3.0?
Install this update only if you have Macintosh system software version 7.1, 7.1.1, or 7.1.2 installed on your computer. It is compatible with the Performa versions of 7.1.x.
If you have already installed the earlier updates, you should still install System Update 3.0 in order to have the latest version of all system software. System Update 3.0 provides additional functionality and fixes problems that the earlier updates did not address.
Systems bought after May, 1994 have the System Update Disk v 3.0 already installed on their system.
