--------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW 24688 Mac OS 8.5: ATM Data File Launches AOL Installer
Some users of Mac OS 8.5 may, upon attempting to install Adobe Type Manager, inadvertently double-click on the VISE data file contained in the folder rather than the actual installer program. Doing so will launch the America Online 4.0 Installer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW 24685 Apple System Profiler: Power Macintosh 6500 Cache Size
We have a Power Macintosh 6500 that shipped with a 512K L2 cache DIMM. We are using Apple System Profiler version 2.1.1 included with Mac OS 8.5 to confirm that we actually have 512K L2 cache. Unfortunately, Apple System Profiler reports that I have "External L2 cache: 256K". I have downloaded version 2.1.2 from Apple's Software Updates web site and this issue still occurs.
- Is Apple aware of this issue? - How can I check to see if my computer actually has 512K of L2 cache?
