So I recently picked up a very nice example of a dual floppy Macintosh SE which came with a Radius Accelerator 16 installed in it.
Alas, the hard drive was dead, so I've installed System 6 and System 7.0.1 on an external scsi2sd to see if I can get it working.
Despite installing the radiusware 16 extensions and even tracking down a copy of the 68020 SE patch for this accelerator, I cannot get any software that requires a 68020 to even try and use the processor.
The accelerator has been detected and is running, and the accelerator ROMs have been upgraded to the 2.1, so the accelerator can boot system 7. The 68020 is also detected in Tattletech and Mac Envy.
My litmus test for the moment has been jpegview, which does run quite nicely on my macintosh ii and LC, but it will always bomb out with an unimplemented trap - like it's only running as a 68000.
So my question is... do the radius accelerators only work as an accelerator, and they actually don't allow software that requires a 68020 to run?
Or is something still iffy with my configuration?
