Radius Rocket 32-bit addressing issue on a Macintosh IIX

[d3jsp]

Is anyone able to get their Radius Rocket to work with a Macintosh IIX with 32-bit addressing?
If I turn on 32-bit addressing with any amount of ram (tried 32MB, 128MB, 20MB) then it will freeze on the "Welcome to Macintosh" Logo after a reboot (this is after the Rocket Radius logo)
It works just fine without 32-bit addressing turned on

Didn't the IIx have dirty 32 bit addressing?

In the control panel of MacOS 7.1, there is an option to enable 32-bit addressing though. It crashes if that is switched on.

That’s what I mean, on the IIx (and SE/30) there was an issue with the way 32 bit addressing worked.. I wonder if that may be introducing some kind of incompatibility. You don’t happen to have access to a Mac that had the same ROM slot but had a 32 bit clean module do you?

Which MODE32 do you have installed?

I was going to suggest the same thing. If you have a IIfx or a IIsi ROM (or any of the modern ROM replacements which are all based on IIsi), I would try that.

The March 1993 Rocket compatibility guide says it was tested with Connectix MODE32 1.02 and 1.2 and requires RadiusWare 1.3 or later.

FWIW, my IIfx freezes with RocketWare with 32bit addressing enabled… but that was with 128MB of memory. Others on this forum had the same freeze with 32bit enabled, but it worked when they took it down to 20MB of memory.

RocketShare works fine with 32bit addressing and with a ton of memory.

@d3jsp sounds like you already tried 20MB so I assume you saw the other threads. did you try any lower than 20?

Yup, that is it! Works with the latest MODE32 enabled and Rocketware 1.5. Works with 128MB of ram as well.

Thanks again
