  On 8.1? More likely “System Error Type 11”.
  • kalleboo 6y ago
    Type 11 was really just an issue on PowerMacs, and this emulates a 68K Mac. (Type 11 was basically a catchall error for any native PPC exception) </pointless historical nitpick>

      Huh, TIL. (I only ever used one real 68k Mac, and that was something donated to my school’s art department).

      Also I believe 7.6 updated error reporting to native PPC codes so that a lot of the time an application could just crash on its own without crashing the whole system. Not always, but yeah even without protected memory.

        There was one release of System 7 where they advertised "Type 11 Errors are virtually eliminated!" Imagine that being a selling point in an Apple product today...
