Re: Mastery Development software broken by Y2K?

Update...

I've been able to get one of our two systems running by replacing the
older ProDos 8 file on their program with the P8 file (renamed to
ProDos) from the GS/OS 6.01 system disk.  

This gets the file server working again, and the workstation IIE can
once again access and run software from the server.  

The thing that still doesn't work is the 'backup' feature on the server
software that would save the scores/progress of each student using the
system.  It seems that it records the date of the last backup and
compares it to the new date.  That part of the software is still not
liking the 2000 date, or perhaps it only reads the last two digits (its
proprietary software, and Mastery Development won't tell me where/how
this is done....they have announced they are dropping support on the
system all together).

We can probably live without that feature...even if students end up
having to re-do parts of the drills.


The second system still isn't working...I can't boot it from my system
disk to access/replace the ProDos on that one because we can't get  a
mouse to work on that IIGS.  Now we're looking for a different cpu to
use for that system as we suspect the current one has hardware problems
on the adb circuits....
