Radius Rocket Software

The software for a Radius Rocket.

RocketWare is for running the Rocket in accelerator mode. Version 1.3.2 and 1.5 included.
RocketShare is for running the Rocket in a hardware VM mode. A Stage II Rocket cannot run RocketWare. There is 1.0, 1.1 and 1.3.1 provided.

Also included: PhotoBooster disk, ColorComposer, RadiusWare and PhotoShop Updater.

CompactPro self-extracting archive with BinHex 4.0 protection.

Now there is RocketWare 1.3.2 at another website (http://radius.vintagebox.de/Download/radius/software/mac/Rocket/) but the disks were modified in a fashion that makes the Installer reject the disk. This is because the creation dates of the files were modified to some time back in the 1940s. The Installer will reject any file that does not match a particular creation date. This can be overcome in ResEdit. The disk images supplied here will work without issues. Tested on a Radius Rocket 33 on a Macintosh IIci.

It is not possible to run both RocketWare and RocketShare at the same time, at least with just one Rocket. Instead, RocketWare must be turned off before RocketShare can be used, or just not installed.

Update Dec 6 2014: Uploaded RocketShare, RocketWare and RadiusWare in separate archives with MacBinary encoding. Stuffit Deluxe 4.0 compressed. Each has the same Disinfectant log and download content text file. MD5:

MD5 (RadiusWare.sit.bin) = 46d32d0077ef4b01c8ac895a446be373
MD5 (RocketShare.sit.bin) = 3c3554965b8ff3951d07832867110135
MD5 (RocketWare.sit.bin) = 7d338c1cd37a5a8bf06a4b94b1654397

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k PPC

System 6.0.7, 6.0.8 (RocketWare 1.3.2), Mac OS 7.0.1 to 7.1 otherwise. Mac OS 7.5 is not recommended, if it is used then only RocketShare will be compatible. A Rocket will run on certain PPC Macs like the Power Macintosh 8100 but only with RocketShare. Warning: Composite SIMMs will NOT work with RocketWare 1.3.2 under System 6. Composite SIMMs have two or three chips on the module rather than the usual 8 or 9.
