All you experts who have BTDT: Has anyone encountered conflicts with SpeedDoubler 8 under OS8.x? I bought it on eBay in hopes of pepping up my PB 5300c (running OS 8.5.1) -- the consensus seemed to be that it would be just the ticket. It installed normally, but (a) clicking in any part of the "Desktop Pictures" folder turned the Finder icons and menu bar a nearly opaque green, and (b) no applications whatever would run while it was active. I suspected an extension conflict (the GV combined modem/ethernet card seemed a likely suspect), but the problems persisted even when SpeedDoubler was the only active extension, though fortunately they corrected themselves as soon as it was turned off.
So I tried to install SD on my desktop 7600 (under OS 8.6), but that machine was too smart to swallow it at all, giving instead a "Bad Disk" error message. Disk First Aid says the disk itself (the original Connectix locked floppy) is fine, and the eBay seller assures me she's used it with complete success. Any suggestions? SpeedDoubler is certainly something I can live without indefinitely, but does offer some desirable features and it would be nice to be able to use it if possible.
