I just recently installed System 6 (like most everyone else has) and
found that if one of my HD partitions is formated as HFS, AppleWorks 3.0
will DIE at the title screen. By reformating the partition back to
ProDOS or telling the RamFAST to hide it, AppleWorks runs just fine.
My setup is Rom 3, 5 megs ram, Ramfast (rev D, 1M, 2.01e), ZipGS, and
Quantom 170S. (160M).
A bug in System 5.0.4 that Todd fixed with Ziptalk, I thought would be
fixed in System 6.0 appartently isn't. It's the problem of the pointer
disappearing while being moved up the screen. At least Ziptalk still
fixes it.
Other than that I find it is a really COOL system release! Thanks DTS.
A note to Ramfast owners. Since ProDOS 2.0.1 likes to map the extra
partitions to other slot/drives and so does the Ramfast, there will be
DOUBLES in the slot/drive list. Use ShrinkIt (P8 version) to see the
mapings. A fix is to assign the first two partitions to the slot the
Ramfast is in and let ProDOS 2.0.1 do the other mappings.
