I also have a 512K->512KE->2 meg Dove upgraded Macintosh, but the
System Tools 6.0 release works just fine on my machine. I noticed
that someone else (David O'Rourke?) mentioned similar problems
getting any term programs to work under 6.0, with an identical
hardware setup. You didn't mention one thing, though: do you also
have the Dove SCSI add-on port? I do... perhaps the new System needs
to be able to find and initialize a SCSI port??? Comments?

One other interesting item of note: the only other incompatibility
I've ever run across which might be tied to the lack of a Macintosh
Plus logic board is the fact that the "Macintosh SE Guided Tour" disk
won't boot on my machine (it does boot on a 'regular' Plus). I can
run it manually after starting up with another system, however.

Disclaimer: I have more INITs in my System Folder than the mind can
            comfortably conceive.
