I run HyperCard on my Spectre 128.  It only works if I use the second modt
(most) recent HyperCard 1.1.2.  I also need the System 6.0 release, which
I installed on my hard disk with the Installer program.

HyperCard 1.2.1 always crashes when I run it under any system release I try.
Funny thing is, Dave Small showed it running at COMDEX, and he had a
Mega ST 2. Weird stuff. I have the Spectre version 1.75.

The 1.5 release of Spectre worked the same way; HyperCard 1.2.1 would
lock up the system instead of crash (well, it eventually crashed).

Even now, if you cause a hypercard script error (either by typing in the
command box or running a bad script and an error alert is written by HyperCard,
), it freezes the system.  Kinda stinky IMHO.
