System 7.5: Sad Mac Caused by FWB Version 1.3 (2/95)


I upgraded my Macintosh to system 7.5, and the machine now gives me a 'sad mac' error 4 error tones. Doing a clean install did not help. I used FWB Hardware Toolkit version 1.3 to reformat the drive.

FWB Hardware Toolkit version 1.3 is not system 7.5 compatible, and you should be using version 1.6. The newest version is 1.6 and this the version that is 7.5 compatible. Contact FWB for an upgrade.
