Deck II Vesion 2.2 Release Notes

.,::. __ .. ,.. ....•. Please reboot while holding the shift key down before proceeding!!! This will insure that all INITs and CDEVs are off while installation takes place. ------------------------------ SPECIAL NOTE: If you are planning to run DECK II and METRO on a Mac with 8 megabytes of RAM or less, you will need to DECREASE DECK II's preferred RAM partition from 5000 to 3500 after installation. Do this by selecting the DECK II in the Finder and choosing Get Info on the File menu. SPECIAL NOTE: DECK II now has a new installation procedure. All installation is automatic, so NO Extras diskette is required, and NO DECK Resources file is needed. SPECIAL NOTE: If you are running DECK II on a Power Macintosh, you will want to allocate at least 8 megabytes of RAM to DECK II. Do this by selecting the DECK II in the. Finder and choosing Get Info on the File menu. SPECIAL NOTE for Power Macintosh users: This version runs on Power Macintoshes using System 7.1.2 as well as System 7.5. For best results however, OSC recommends running DECK II under System 7.5. Power Macintosh, 840A V, or 660A V users should also be certain that their hard drives are formatted with drivers that fully support SCSI Manager 4.3. OSC recommends using the driver from Charis in their Anubis formatting utility or the driver from Transoft in SCSIDirector. Symptoms of not having SCSI Manager 4.3 compatible drivers include slow user interface response, decreased track count, and "Disk too slow" messages. Power Macintosh users should know that the "Analog Input Level" sub-menu is controlling an input pre-amp (you are increasing the level of the signal) whereas on other machines where this item is available it is controlling an input attenuator (you are decreasing the level of the signal). This is why Power Macintosh users have had to set this item to a low number for best results and other users have had to set this item to a high number for best results. This is due to hardware differences between the various platforms. ------------------------------ PLEASE READ these Release Notes for DECK II™ version 2.2.
