The start-up messages are due to the SCC.manager trying to initialize appletalk and he hasn't selected a port for appletalk. Disabling or removing the SCC.manager file in the drivers folder should eliminate those messages. jalapeno wrote: > */system/drivers/SCC.manager > > the serial communications manager is the point guard for the zilog > chip when appletalk is active on the IIGS.

You also need to remove or disable AppleShare.FST in order to avoid a second error message during startup. The rest of the AppleTalk-related files will be wasting space but won't cause any particular side effects.
