- Power Macintosh 4400 Update 1.0 - (8/20/98)
The Power Macintosh 4400 Update contains two patches for
Mac OS 8.1. The first patch corrects a memory corruption
problem caused by Mac OS Extended (HFS+) that results in
systems that will not boot after being upgraded to Mac OS
8.1. The symptom is a hang during startup (for example,
when the Happy Mac icon appears, or when the "Welcome to
Mac OS" screen appears, or while the extensions are
loading). This problem can occur even if there are no Mac
OS Extended volumes in use. The second patch corrects an
obscure problem with the ATA Manager. The symptom is what
appears to be a hung system -- the mouse pointer will
move but the system does not respond (it is in an
infinite loop). If you are using a PC Compatibility Card,
you will not be able to switch back to the Mac OS
environment. This update also corrects this problem. This
update modifies the system file to correct the Mac OS
Extended problem and installs the "4400 ATA INIT"
extension to correct the ATA Manager problem. When the
update is installed, the system version in the "About
This Computer" window will be listed as "Mac OS 8.1" and
"System Enabler 4400 Update". Note: an enabler is not
installed. This information is listed so that users can
determine if the update has been installed.

intermittent flashing question mark from a cold boot or a
restart. Restarting the computer may allow the hard drive
to boot up properly, but the flashing question mark may
return upon the next cold boot. In order to update the

and 54xx series Macintosh computers, such as the
Macintosh Performa 5400 and Power Macintosh 5400.
- * Fixes problems with using some external SCSI
devices, such as external hard disks, scanners, or
removable storage devices.
- * Fixes problems with printing to a Personal
LaserWriter SC or LaserWriter II SC printer. Apple

GX printer driver with LaserWriter SC printers because
there are known problems with the non-GX LaserWriter SC
printer driver. You can install QuickDraw GX from the
system software CD-ROM disc that came with your computer
or download the software from the Apple Software Update
sites on the Internet via
<http://www.info.apple.com/swupdates/>, America
Online, or CompuServe.
- * Adds support for additional Ethernet network

Updates needed if running OS 8.1
- Power Macintosh 4400 Update 1.0 - (8/20/98)
The Power Macintosh 4400 Update contains two patches for
Mac OS 8.1. The first patch corrects a memory corruption
problem caused by Mac OS Extended (HFS+) that results in
systems that will not boot after being upgraded to Mac OS
8.1. The symptom is a hang during startup (for example,
when the Happy Mac icon appears, or when the "Welcome to
Mac OS" screen appears, or while the extensions are
loading). This problem can occur even if there are no Mac
OS Extended volumes in use. The second patch corrects an
obscure problem with the ATA Manager. The symptom is what
appears to be a hung system -- the mouse pointer will
move but the system does not respond (it is in an
infinite loop). If you are using a PC Compatibility Card,
you will not be able to switch back to the Mac OS
environment. This update also corrects this problem. This
update modifies the system file to correct the Mac OS
Extended problem and installs the "4400 ATA INIT"
extension to correct the ATA Manager problem. When the
update is installed, the system version in the "About
This Computer" window will be listed as "Mac OS 8.1" and
"System Enabler 4400 Update". Note: an enabler is not
installed. This information is listed so that users can
determine if the update has been installed.
- AudioTuneUp 2.0 - (4/23/98) AudioTuneUp 2.0
fixes the following audio problems: * On PowerMac G3 and
PowerMac 4400 models attempting to record from the
external microphone using QuickTime does not work.
- Drive Setup 1.7.3 - (6/11/99) See Description
Above
- SerialDMA 2.1 - (7/8/98) Includes version 2.1
of the SerialDMA extension, which supplies a replacement
serial driver for a specific set of Mac OS computers.
This new driver fixes an incompatability that prevents
certain serial devices, such as digital cameras, from
establishing an initial connection. If you are using one
of the Mac OS computers listed above, and you are using a
serial device which cannot establish an initial
connection, you should install this update.
