I'm considering buying a IIvx in the near future and was wondering what 
is shipping with the standard package.

How is the system software shipping?

What CDs are included? Include general info about bundles and demo disks 
such as contents. Also, what have you thought of the quality of the 
software?

How is the Quicktime playback off of CD?

Have you played around with sampling a standard Audio CD? From the 
descriptions, this sounds like a pretty easy thing to do (direct audio 
through the SCSI interface...).

Any weird conflicts? (Other than MIDI)

Thanks,

I have a PB 145 with a 40 Mb HD, and I now have a (my advisor's)
Mac IIci with a 230 Mb drive. I know that the 140, 145, and 170
were not originally designed to be "dockable" to other Macs
like the 100 and the new PBs, but has anyone designed a kludge
to do this?

I'm trying to figure out an easy way to back up my PB145 using the
230 Mb HD of my IIci. I am using AppleTalk right now, but it is
_painfully_ slow to back up the entire drive (I actually have more
than 40 Mb on it, since I am using AutoDoubler on the PB).
Any suggestions for a quicker backup methid are welcome.

Yeah.  I've been there before.  It's a very common situation.

PB> I can tell stories. Oh yes.

I told stories about this same dealer, many years ago, on a local Mac BBS.
Back then they lied and tried to cheat me on warranty service.  Their
response?  They tried to browbeat the sysop and force him to either remove me
and my messages or face a lawsuit for libel or slander.  He stood his ground
on free speech rights, and they backed down.  I still have these particular
message threads archived, btw.

Anyway, I've since been in touch with the Apple Customer Assistance Center
regarding this issue of installing NuBus cards.  They assure me that, unless
the manufacturer of the expansion board specifically requires dealer
installation, customer installation will _not_ void the warranty of the
computer.

So I filed a formal complaint against the dealer.  What the hell.  As Peter
knows, they deserve it.

 I think have found the cause of my problems (your mileage may vary). I was
getting several a day and even had times where the system wouldn't boot. After
contacting ALYSIS for (yet) another problem with Disk Check and/or DiskExpress,
 a suggestion was made by the customer support rep that my problems with
Disk Express may have been caused by SCSI noise (bad ribbon cable and/or
terminators). I replaced my ribbon cable Wed. night and poof, no more problems.
On a side note, Greg's buttons has a conflict with Disk Check (proram will not
run with Gregs buttons installed).

2 days without an application quit, I can't stand it.      ;)

Make sure your "lasterwriter" file is the same version for all computers and
make sure it is in the correct file for the system you are using.  Also make
sure your printer driver files are the same for all computers you are using. 
You can mix 6.0.7 and 7.1 but you can't mix drivers.  The printer won't like

A .CPT file is one that has been archived by the application CompactPro.
Some other common download extensions for the mac are:

.HQX - BinHex
.SIT - Archived by the application StuffIt
.SEA - Self extracting archive. This should be an application.

I've heard of and/or seen some programs that can capture sequences of screen
dumps and transform them into QuickTime movies (CameraMan from Vision Software
and Spectator come to mind, although I believe that the former requires the
Apple Movie Converter). These seem quite useful for producing canned

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone with information about these or similar

I'm looking for Claris Translators for the Claris XTND system.  We're using
ccMail here, which uses the XTND system and comes with a few translators.
I would like to find out where to get other translators - in particular
for Word Perfect (both PC and Mac).  I called ccMail, who sent we to Claris.
I called Claris, who sent me to about 10 different places, from the "Claris
fulfillment center", to APDA, Apple, etc.  Claris had a listing for XTND
translators, but only for Claris products (one pleasant surprise from Claris
was that they sent me their translators free, even though I don't have any
of their apps).  The Claris people I talked to otherwise didn't know what
the Claris XTND system was - I had to explain what their product was to them.
They only knew they have a listing for their translators...

Anyway, does anyone know where I can get XTND translators for non-Claris
file formats?  In particular, I'm looking for a Word Perfect translator, as
the original reason I started looking for this is that people here sometimes
write something in WP, then attach it and send it in email so the person
at the other end gets it with all the formatting and such, and of course the
people at the other end have something else that won't read the WP format...
I thought the translator would be easier than having people save it as
text and resending it (plus they could read it without loosing all the
formatting)...

Please respond by email

Hi, I heard that there was a way to parse the hard drive.  For example,
if I have a 80Mb hard drive, can I separate it into two 40 Mb, so
that if something happens to the hard disk, I will most likely only have to
deal with the problem on 40Mb of memory?  Have I been misguided by a
rumor or is this possible?  Is it perhaps a system 7 thing?

I wouldn't do this. You'll be violating the copyright on the original disks
(since I'm 99.9% sure they were not free to ditribute separately from the Macs
they came with). That's what's better known as software piracy.

 ARE THERE ANY GOOD BOOKS ABOUT THE MAC?  (12.1)
  
       While there are a number of excellent books covering specific 
  software packages, there are not many books that are generally useful 
  to someone familiar with the net.  The Mac is Not a TypeWriter by Robin 
  Williams and The Macintosh Bible, by Arthur Naiman, Sharon Zardetto Aker 
  and a cast of hundreds are two exceptions.  Both are published by 
  PeachPit Press and are available in finer and seedier 
  bookstores everywhere.
  
       The Mac is Not a TypeWriter should be required reading for anyone 
  using a Macintosh to produce printed matter.  It teaches the differences 
  between typing and typography and shows you how to avoid looking like a 
  moron in print.
  
       The Macintosh Bible is a reference book that's surprisingly 
  enjoyable reading.  It's comprehensive enough to cover most questions 
  that appear in this newsgroup including the not so frequent ones.  It 
  also includes lots of information you probably need but didn't know 
  to ask.

Or, if you're a college student like I am and can't afford Stuffit Deluxe,
try Downline, available on sumex.  It will let you specify a folder for
operations on.  Then, you move the files into the folder, and they will be
stuffed.  It also works the other way -- I use it when I'm downloading.  It
watches the folder that I download to, and when it senses a binhexed file
there, it will debinhex it and unstuff it.

It can't handle any format other than Stuffit 1.5.1, though.

I did it and it was pretty easy.  If you are moderately handy with
electronics, I'd say gove it a try.  Keep in mind though that it does
void your warantee - if they know you did it.

I bought my upgrade memory mail order and they included a nice set
of step by step instructions.  I'd call around and ask the various
mai order folks if they included instructions.

Sorry, I didn't keep them around - though I posted them a while back.
Someone might have held on to them.  Good luck!
