I appear to have discovered an incompatibility between the 32bit Quickdraw
init (32QD) and Hypercard.

If I have installed the 32QD init, set my monitor to 1 bit/pixel, Black &
White and invoke Hypercard, the system crashes.  If I remove the init or
if I set my monitor to 8 bit, color, Hypercard is more or less fine.

You may not care about it, but I was running at least one stack that told
Mac II users to switch to B&W mode to make the animation work properly.

Related problem: Invoking the Apple CD-ROM Explorer stack will normally
crash, no matter what your monitor bit depth is, if 32QD is present.
However, even if I remove the 32QD init, the StarDate demo will not work.
I can get the SE version of StarDate to work, but neither the B&W or Color
version will work on a Mac II.  (I have not tried a IIX).

It is possible that a later version of the 32QD init fixes this problem,
but I have not heard of the problem or any fixes for any bugs to 32QD.
I hope this problem is not present in the version of 32QD in the IIci ROMs.

Pertinant information:
     6.0.3 Finder,
     Hypercard 1.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.2,
     Tested on: Mac II with Radius 19" w/ Radius Directcolor/24
                                       & Radius Graphics Accelerator
                32 bit QD version 1.0 of 5/8/89 distributed by DTS,

     Also tested on: Mac IIx with Apple 13" w/ RasterOps 264, but not sure
                     of the 32QD version here.

"Finder's Fee" to Apple for this (if it is truely a bug): Send me an update?
