08.001 What does error #___ mean?
By: Jeff Hurlburt (in II Alive, 1996 plus updates)
Error Codes
Codes are in hexadecimal and are listed in numerical order. Except for a
few IIgs System Failure codes, the system or sub-system reporting the error is
shown along with the error description.
Most IIgs tool set error 'descriptions'-- like divByZeroErr-- consist of
just the error name as published in the Toolbox References. When such an error
is reported, the first two digits identify the Tool Set; the last two identify
the error# (sometimes this identifies the individual Tool involved in the
error). The name and number of each Tool Set which reports errors is identified
in the listing by labeling the first error in each Tool Set group.
Many of the descriptions for 00xx codes refer to GS/OS errors. Usually,
these codes have the same (or a very similar) meaning as ProDOS 16 (P16) codes,
SmartPort codes, and 8-bit ProDOS 8 (P8) Machine Language Interface (MLI)
codes. When there is a significant difference, other meanings are shown.
Note 1: Thanks to information supplied by David Empson several early System
Failure Code messages (e.g. "File map destroyed") are now considered to be
suspect as to accuracy. Yes, some kind of error has occurred; but, as David
points out, the messages seem to have been incorrectly copied from Mac with no
particular regard to relevance on the IIgs:
For example, all the errors referring to "Can't load a package" make no
sense - the IIgs doesn't have any such thing as a package (but early Macintosh
system software does). Here is another big clue: error $30 is allegedly "Please
insert disk (File Manager alert)". There is no such thing as the "File
Manager" on the IIgs, but there is on the Mac."-- David Empson
Basically, it appears that the faulty messages function as defaults (place
holders) when more accurate third-party messages are not supplied. The suspect
messages may appear; so, they remain in this listing; but, now they are marked.
Error messages marked ** indicate a System Failure message considered to be
suspect.
Note 2: Error messages marked **** indicate that a more detailed discussion is
available in Question 004.
