DISCUSSION TOPIC ------------------------------------------------------------ This article explains the changes made in system software version 6.0.3, and how it improves support for certain software and hardware. DISCUSSION ------------------------------------------------------- Macintosh SE/30 requires System 6.0.3. The following are the only changes in 6.0.3: 1) Patched the .SONY driver to fix a tolerance problem when initializing MS-DOS disks. This problem would show up when you formatted a MS-DOS disk on an Apple SuperDrive (formerly Apple FDHD) and then used the disk on a PC. If you formatted this disk on the PC you did not see any problem. 2) Placed a hook in the System File that lets a file called "32-Bit QuickDraw" attach itself to the System file. We are not supplying the "32-Bit QuickDraw" file, only the ability to add the file at a later date. 3) Time Manager upgraded to work with the Macintosh SE/30. 4) Removed the NewYork 18 and 24 from the disk for space reasons. 5) Changed the Responder INIT to return the names "Macintosh SE/30" and "Macintosh IIx" when used with Inter-Poll. 6) Apple File Exchange had some bugs fixed. Network users do NOT need to upgrade any other machines on the network. You can use System 6.0.3 on other machines but you do not HAVE to upgrade other network users unless you want to. There were NO changes to the AppleTalk protocols or Printer Drivers. Had they changed, other network users would need to be upgraded. The following are the only users who should upgrade to System 6.0.3: - Owners of Macintosh SE/30 computers - People who use Apple File Exchange (on any Macintosh CPU) - Users of 24-bit color boards, when the 32-bit QuickDraw file becomes available |
