I believe that LSP 1.01 will only work with the Macintosh II in 2-bit mode.

They are about to release an upgade which will fully implement Mac II interfaces
and be more compatible with the Macintosh II.

LSP 1.01 seems to have trouble with the context switching and multi-color mode.
Highliting gets screwup up, menu's get cerebrally damaged, selection 
highlighting results in pure black, not inverted video.  

I believe something in quickdraw globals is being mucked.

From talking to Think, they were real helpful and sorry about the problem
and promised to genuflect three times every hour in front of a picture
of Andy Hertzfeld until the bugs are resolved.  :-)   <- NOTE: this was
a JOKE for those who didn't realize that.  TeeHeeHee.
