Odds & Ends: Consultant bug fixed; QuickScan update in Europe; more

Consultant "weeks view" bug fixed According to Chronos, the previously reported "missing month" problem when scrolling back in Week view (see previous item), was fixed in a "silent" update of version 2.58 of Consultant. Although the version number remains unchanged, the program has been fixed. So, if you have this problem, redownload the update and try again. (Thanks, Joshua Rafofsky.)

Minolta QuickScan update Jim Eiselt grew impatient waiting for the SCSI Manager 4.3 compliant version of the driver for Minolta's QuickScan 35 slide scanner. So he checked on Minolta's European site and found that a new version 2.61 (English) was listed there. He installed this version and the scanner was finally recognized and performed perfectly on his G3/BW (with an Orange Micro Grappler installed).

iBook and sharpness of display A new TIL article (#58454) notes that the iBook's default resolution is 800 x 600. It has a scaled (interpolated) resolution of 640 x 480, which may be useful when playing games that require this mode. However, the display may not appear as sharp.

Cache utility triggers a stall? James Noble writes: "I installed the PowerLogix 466 G3 ZIF chip in my beige G3 desktop. Everything went fine until I upgraded to PowerLogix G3/G4 Cache Profiler 1.1." He then began to Mac OS 8.6 stalls of about 20-30 seconds. Downgrading to Profiler 1.0 eliminated the symptoms.

Update: R.E. Kramer replies: "The Cache Profiler is an application that is only active when it is being run! Both versions work fine with 8.6 on my non-Apple G3 upgraded machines."
