VideoWorks Accelerator: Macintosh IIci Incompatibility



I have a Macintosh IIci with System Software 6.0.4, a MacroMind accelerator,
and PhotoMac. I get the error message, "System needs the Jackson Pollock
software patch or system may not start up". Have you heard of this error?

Receiving the error message, "System needs the Jackson Pollock software patch
or system may not start up", indicates that the application isn't calling
32-Bit QuickDraw properly. Alternatives include not using 32-Bit QuickDraw or
obtaining an update from the software manufacturer that corrects this
incompatibility.

Some versions of VideoWorks Accelerator aren't compatible with 32-Bit QuickDraw
nor with the Macintosh IIci. Running it under these configurations results in
the above error message. A revision of Accelerator that fixes this problem is
now available. It is free of charge to Accelerator owners on a request basis
only.

PhotoMac is reportedly compatible with the Macintosh IIci and 32-Bit
QuickDraw.
