Not sure what's going on at the moment.
I have everything working on my LC 630 DOS under system 7.5.3 with PC SETUP 2.1.7
But when I try to use OS 8.1 the PC SETUP control panel will not load. I select the PC SETUP control, then the screen just flashes for a second all the desktop icons disappear then re-appear. But the PC SETUP control panel does not open.
System: 40MB of RAM on board, and 36MB of RAM on card. Using a CF to IDE adapter with a 32GB industrial CF card (fixed disk mode). I have been using a SCSI2SD to move files across with (my new SCSI2SD FAT32 version), and boot from when I did a clean install (see below)
I've tried:
I was hoping to use OS 8.1 so I could use PC Exchange 2.2 and it's FAT32 and long file name support, along with HFS+.
Will continue to experiment.

I've tried:
- System 7.5.3 + PC SETUP 2.1.7 = working
- Upgrading the original working 7.5.3 install to 8.0 then 8.1 - not working, PC SETUP does not load.
- Clean install, re-initialized the internal HD (CF Card) using Drive Setup 1.7.3, full install of OS 8.1 (from the Apple CD 2000-09 System Recovery CD) , then installed PC SETUP 1.6.4 - same issue, then upgraded to 2.1.7 (as per the instructions for 2.1.7) - not working, PC SETUP does not load.
