You'll need Macsbug 6.2 (available from APDA) in order to work on the IIfx.
More than likely, all other debuggers will have problems running as well
since it's no longer possible to talk to ADB directly to get keypresses, etc.
I don't know why the other debuggers are having problems (they must be doing
something bad :-))...
