Mac IIfx incompatible software
as experienced on an fx with
---------------------------------
  1 FDHD
  4 Mb RAM
170 Mb Quantum internal running SilverLining 5.18
Apple EtherTalk NB Card
Apple Display Card 4x8 w/Apple Two Page Monitor 53 cm (21 inch)
(this information is probably irrelevant)
---------------------------------
Cricket Graph 1.3
Cricket Graph (any version up to 1.3.2 and beyond - phone to TechSupport)
remedy: buy Kaleida Graph or Igor
..
DCM MacTran Plus 3.0 (ERR 01, bus error when trying to load editor)
DCM MacTran Plus 4.0 (the same, based on a phone to Tech Support)
remedy: do not use the built-editor, but MDS Edit, Vantage, QUED/M instead
remedy: buy an MPW-based FORTRAN like Language System's or Absoft's
..
SuperPaint 2.0 (hangs up the screen when loading)
remedy: copy the application to an older Mac, modify menu/menuitem/button
"Options/Preferences.../Next/Next/Use only QuickDraw for screen rendering"
and copy the application back to the fx - your SuperPaint 2.0 will work
..
and lots of shareware software where no remedy was found
