Based on the following note, I tested my above prediction, and it was NOT confirmed. When I put the card back in slot 1, MAZ stopped working. So my theory is not correct. Date: Wed, 26 Jun 91 07:58:06 CDT From: John R. Howell MaxAppleZoom appears to have some strange bug in it that causes it to stop working after a certain date. The date is dependent on which NuBus slot your video card is in. If your card is in slot 1, MaxAppleZoom stops working on June 22, 1991. If you move your card to a higher slot you will gain approximately 12 days (10^20 seconds) before MaxAppleZoom quits for each slot you move. So you can still use MaxAppleZoom until some time towards the end of August if your card is in slot 6. You can always set your clock back also. Hopefully by the time the last slot runs out, someone will have heard from Naoto on how to fix this problem.
