The software Installer for the Power Macintosh Upgrade Card installs System 7.1 for 680x0 mode operation, PowerTalk requires System 7.1.1. After turning the Power Macintosh Card on in the Power Macintosh Card Control Panel, Shutting Down, and restarting you are in PowerPC 601 mode. The PowerTalk Manager contains the Drag Manager. The Drag Manager requires Process Manager 7.1.1 or later. As soon as you attempt to drag anything the computer will crash.
To use PowerTalk on a Power Macintosh Upgrade Card you must do the following:
1) Install the Power Macintosh Upgrade Card and its software.
2) Run the System 7 Pro Installer from the System 7 Pro "Install" disk.
Even better, boot off that disk in 680x0 mode and run the Installer.
This will re-install System 7 Pro when running your computer in 680x0
mode.
For optimum performance and stability in PowerPC mode, we recommend using the PowerTalk for Power Macintosh installer v. 1.0.2, which correctly handles both Power Macintosh computers and Power Macintosh Upgrade Cards.
The READ ME file on the NEW version of the PowerTalk for Power Macintosh installer includes these installation instructions.
All of the above applies with equal force to PowerShare Collaboration Servers, with one additional caveat: Although there are no known incompatibilities with PowerShare and Power Macintosh Upgrade Cards, we don't recommend this configuration.
