It doesn't matter where the System Folder is. Here's my suggestions:
Be sure Mac partition is the last one on the bus. Check the Spectre menu so
that it is set for boot from HD. Be sure you can see the name of the MAC hard
di
disk from the Spectre menu.
Can you access other files OK once it's booted? Mine works with most System
versions.

Wednesday night at 10 PM on the channel 5 news broadcast here in
Los Angeles CA. they had the LYNX on TV. They were showing it playing
the Gauntlet III game. Pretty impressive!
Hows that for free advertisement ?

Does anyone have the public domain game Parabellum?
It is a jumping-climbing platform game. I have only
seen it mentioned in a UK magazine (ST Format,
November 89, page 37). If someone has it, can you
please send it to me (UUENCODEd). Thanks in advance.

Message-ID: <6175.264aea94@jetson.uh.edu>
I have a question for anyone who has done any type of work on printer
drivers/print spoolers for the ST.
I would like to know how I would go about in intercepting any printer output
(as in a print spooler) but instead of spooling it, I want to add on a cover
page to the stream, then continue with the stream. Of course, the cover page
would be an option. I want to have it installed as either a desk acc. or as an
auto program. I am also planning on writting this in Pascal. Anyone want to
help?

This is what Atari ST Internals from Abacus says about Prtblk.
C: void Prtblk(parameter)
long paramter;
Assembler:
move.l parameter,-(sp)
move.w #36,-(sp)
trap #14
addq.l #6,sp
This function resembles and is used by the function Scrdmp (20). The function
expects a paramter list, however, whose address is passed to it. This list
is constructed as follows:
long blkprt Address of the screen RAM
int offset
int width Screen width
int height Screen height
int left
int right
int scrres Screen resolution (0, 1, or 2)
int dstres Printer resolution (0 or 1)
long colpal Address of the color palette
int type Printer type (0-3)
int port Printer port (0=Centronics, 1=RS-232)
long masks Pointer to half-tone mask
Example:
move.l #parameter,-(sp) Address of the parameter block
move.w #36,-(sp) prtplk
trap #14
addq.l #6,sp
...
parameter dc.l ...
Hope this helps.

I have an even simpler problem... Where can Unix windows be found (by
anonymous ftp)??? Also, how much mem does it require, does it a hard drive,
etc...

Of course you can run external Programs out of Uniterm.
Just increase the System Memory in the Buffers Dialog(SETTINGS->BUFFERS-...)
and you will see, that most Programs, you need can be started...
I used to use Z-Modem....
ALL
====
By the way: does anyone has a real nice working Z-Modem?
I only have the Version which waits every 1024 Byte Block for the receiver
to ACK... If you are sending Files from an UNIX-Maschine, you will see,
that you get mostly an undisturbed Datastream... Should anyone out there
has a Version, which does that in just both Ways ST->UNIX UNIX->ST, then
send me a note....
Greetings
