It does not install anything on other computers. This 800K version includes all the necessary files for the above three models, but does not include all of the files in the high-density version of this update. All other computers must use the high-density version. (If your Macintosh II, Macintosh SE, and Macintosh Plus has been upgraded to a 1.4 MB floppy disk drive, then you can use the 1.4 MB version of this update.) What is System Update 3.0? System Update 3.0 is a set of software enhancements that improves the performance and reliability of Macintosh computers running system software version 7.1, 7.1.1 (System 7 Pro), or 7.1.2 (for Power Macintosh). System Update 3.0 provides the enhancements of System Update 2.0.1, Hardware System Update 2.0, and Hardware System Update 1.0, plus additional enhancements. (For a review of the System Update 2.0.1, Hardware System Update 2.0, and Hardware System Update 1.0 enhancements, see "What Other Enhancements Does System Update 3.0 Provide?" at the end of this document.) What are the enhancements that System Update 3.0 provides? System Update 3.0 includes the following enhancements: - Provides system-level improvements to increase overall system performance and reliability on most Macintosh models. - Corrects a problem that potentially allowed the system to become corrupted during a power failure or a crash. This corruption would prevent the Macintosh from restarting. - Fixes a problem that prevented the Macintosh Plus from using any system software newer than 7.1. Users wishing to upgrade to newer system software must also delete the Finder Preferences file from the Preferences folder and restart. - Fixes the "About This Macintosh" box so the memory usage line does not get drawn outside of the box's bounds. - Prevents the potential file/media corruption that can happen when working with a file that is on a remote volume and the connection to that volume is lost. Now, when the remote volume is lost, its icon will remain dimmed on the desktop (similar to what happens to the icon for a manually ejected floppy disk). All attempts to open items on the lost volume will result in an access privilege error. If you need to save your work on the open file, you will need to use "Save As..." (or the equivalent) to save it to a different volume. In order to re-connect with the lost volume, you will first need to close the file you were working with, then drag the lost volume's dimmed icon to the Trash. - Increases reliability for remote file saving when the client is running System 7.1 or greater and the server is running a pre-7.0 system and using pre-3.0 AppleShare. - Fixes a problem with throwing away folders that are on an AppleShare volume. Sometimes when attempting to empty the Trash, the Finder would warn that the folder contained items in use and could not be deleted. The Finder will now properly delete such folders. System Update 3.0 includes the following updates: - Updates the Standard File package to include many fixes and enhancements. The most significant fix corrects a crash problem when more than 20 volumes are mounted. The most significant enhancement is the use of color icons. - Updates the Easy Access control panel to version 7.2. This new version allows Sticky Keys to remain active after waking up if it was active when the PowerBook or Portable went to sleep. Also, Easy Access now remembers whether sticky keys, mouse keys, and slow keys were on or off between restarts. - Replaces TeachText with SimpleText version 1.0. Among other improvements, SimpleText allows multiple documents to be open simultaneously, and allows users to easily use a variety of fonts, font sizes, and font styles. - Includes Apple HD SC Setup version 7.3.1,. This new version fixes a crash problem version 7.3 has when run on Macintosh models that do not support virtual memory. - Updates the Memory control panel to version 7.3. This new version prevents a potential crash during boot if the RAM disk was set too large. Also, this control panel now opens with 32-bit addressing on. Installing System Update 3.0 Before you install... Do you have Macintosh system software version 7.1, 7.1.1, or 7.1.2? You should install this update only if you have Macintosh system software version 7.1, 7.1.1, or 7.1.2 installed on your computer. If you have already installed earlier system updates, you should still install System Update 3.0 in order to have the latest version of all system software. System Update 3.0 provides additional functionality and fixes problems that the earlier updates did not address. Installation of System Update 3.0 includes three steps: 1. Install the System Update 2. Update your Apple utilities 3. Update your Apple drivers See the step-by-step instructions below.

System Update 3.0 includes enhancements from System Update 2.0.1, Hardware System Update 2.0, and Hardware System Update 1.0 (listed below). Some enhancements are Macintosh-model specific while others apply to a range of models. NOTE: This section contains only the items that apply to the Macintosh II, SE, and Plus. - Prevents fonts from being needlessly locked in memory during the boot process. This frees up memory on affected machines. - Adds software for the Apple Adjustable Keyboard, allowing you to connect the keyboard to any Macintosh computer without separately installing special keyboard software. - Installs the Sound Manager Update to improve sound performance on most Macintosh computers. (NOTE: When this software is installed, your system sound will revert to the Simple Beep. After installation, you may wish to reset the Sound control panel to your preferred sound.) - Includes Disk First Aid 7.2, a utility that repairs damaged disks. Apple strives to provide maximum reliability for its customers. This update provides specific improvements that many Apple Macintosh customers will find helpful. ©1994 Apple Computer, Inc.
