Name: 8-24 GC Software
Version: 7.0.1
Released: May 18, 1992
Description: This is a repost of the Macintosh 8-24 GC Video Card software previously posted here. It is intended for use with System 7.1 and earlier. It is not fully compatible with System 7.5. Version 1.1, included in this archive, is for use with System 6.
This software is available in the Apple Software Update s collection online at http://www.info.apple.com/swupdates/ .

• System 7.0 or greater (do NOT use System 6.0.x)
• an 8-24 GC card
• a minimum of 3 megabytes of RAM

• MacRendermanª 1.1
  When you try to render a ".rib" file from RenderAppª you will get a bus error
  some time during the rendering process. We recommend that you disable
  acceleration before attempting this process, since it may take some time
  for the bug to surface, and your rendering process will need to be restarted.
  This problem is caused by MacRenderman's access of various reserved fields
  in QuickDraw data structures. The developer has been notified of the issue.

• Aldus PageMakerª 4.01
  When using an Adobe Type Managerª font with PageMaker 4.01, no text appears on
  the screen when you type.
  ° This problem has been fixed in Aldus PageMaker 4.2

• Macromind Directorª 3.1
  While running an animation sequence, you will notice some screen corruption
  around moving objects. Please note that other programs or games created with
  Macromind Director will display similar screen corruption. The developer has been
  notified of this problem.

• ImageStudioª 1.7
  After launching ImageStudio, you will notice that the palette below the untitled
  document window, which is supposed to be grayscale, is solid black. We have
  notified the developer of this issue.

• DesignStudioª 2.0
  While scrolling up and down through pages of text, you will notice that some of
  the text will appear smeared on the screen. The problem does not result in data
  corruption or system locks. The developer has been notified of this problem.

• Aldus SuperPaint 3.0
  When running Aldus SuperPaint 3.0 random bus errors can occur. The developer has
  been notified of this issue.

• Imageª 1.26f
  The LUT display on the left side of the screen is white instead of grayscale or
  color. Text drawn on the screen will appear fuzzy. Images will appear with extra
  dots. We have notified the developer of this problem.

• FullWrite Professionalª 1.6(p1)
  Text that is highlighted disappears when you release the mouse. The developer has
  been notified of this problem.

• ClickChangeª
  With ClickChangeª enabled, the system will hang when you switch between colors
  and grays in the monitor control panel. Sometimes it takes a couple of times
  before your system will actually hang. The developer has been notified of the
  issue.

• Radius Rocketª
  The Radius Rocket is not compatible with the display card 8-24 GC.

• Microsoft Flight Simulator 4.0ª
  With the screen set to 4-bits per pixel or higher (16 colors), you will get a bus
  error upon launching Flight Simulator 4.0.ª This is an incompatibility related
  to Flight Simulator's access of reserved registers in the 680X0 that are used
  by system software. The developer has been notified of the issue.

• Maxima RAM diskª
  Maximaª causes portions of the menu titles and/or areas behind some menus to be
  filled with corrupted data (random data). This problem will occur more frequently
  if the cards are placed in the high numbered NuBus slots (e.g. $e or slot 6 on the
  IIfx). Technically, this RAM disk is moving information from RAM into ROM address
  space which is reserved for Apple software. We have notified the developer of this
  issue.

• AfterDarkª 2.0v (fish module only)
  When the "fish" module is active, you will notice a decrease in performance - the
  fish swim slower with the 8-24 GC acceleration ON. Technically, this is caused by
  misalignment of the fish pixmap drawings themselves, which leads to non-optimal
  performance. Other than this, the module works fine. This is likely to be fixed in
  future versions of the module.

• Startup Managerª
  When using Startup Manager to change the order that your INITs are launching,
  and if the 8-24 GC rocket appears on the second row, there will be slight screen
  corruption when the rocket flies. NOTE: This is an on-screen artifact only,
  and does not affect performance or data.

• "ECS" or Engineering Capturing Systemª
  When running the "Symbol" application, you will see 3 extra horizontal lines when
  the screen depth is set to 8-bits per pixel.

• A general note about games
  Most games will not be accelerated by the 8¥24GC card. Technically, this is
  most often caused by the developer not using GWorlds for animation.

• If you are using Chinese Talk II please make sure it is version 1.1 or greater.

• Please note that the 8¥24GC card does not accelerate the display of TrueTypeª fonts. For optimum performance, install the appropriate size bit-map
