I just received a new CD ROM from Apple, the Spring 1991 training disk
that claims to have hypercardGS and stacks describing the new Apple II
related products, including Hypercard GS itself and the Apple IIe card
for the Macintosh LC.

Anyway, I installed system 5.0.4 on my system and then launched
hypercard GS.  After reading the disk for a few seconds, my system
crashes with a "System error 201" and I am forced to restart.

My system is a 2.25 Meg Rom 01 GS with a Transwarp GS and a RamFast
SCSI card.

I have tried removing all of my additional desk accessories with no
improvement.  I should have enough RAM, what else could be wrong?  Can
anyone verify that the version of HypercardGS on this CD ROM works?  I
copied it onto my local hard disk for speed but I cannot get the darn
thing to run.

I have heard such positive things about this program that I was really
looking forward to using it.

Thanks in advance.
