Using a stock 6.0.5 System Tools disk on a IIcx, I kept getting a ID=11 bomb
in the Arena program after a short time of playing. Thinking that it may have
something to do with the playing of sounds, and having had previous success
with 7.0 on an SE/30, I tried a stock 6.0.7 Systems Tools and then had no
problems.

This was a 6.0.5 disk locked from the very moment I got it. I started up from
it, pulled the Finder out of the System Folder on my hard disk to make sure
it wouldn't switch startup disks, and got the bomb.

Anyone else have similar problems? I'd like to avoid 6.0.7 if I can get 6.0.5
to work.
