I tried extracting a file called "binhex.macbinary" and GSHK wouldn't
touch it.  So I guess GSHK only likes it when the macbinary headers gets
in the way of a normal archive, but not when it is used as the sole
wrapping of a file.

If GSHK could handle Mac Resource Forks properly in relation to HFS
volumes though, I'd be very happy.

Geez...even I, who would rather see tool 35 exploited, have been impressed
by MODZap and Sonic Tracker. Hard to believe that Ian will be too happy
just concentrating on the 486. I also have one, and it's not what one imagine
as having a "spirit"! Very utilitarian. Simply doesn't have the character

I have just got a Dallas 2316E Smartwatch working in my //e and am considering
buying a Zip Chip but have read about the problems people have had with the
two chips together. I wrote my own clock driver (I did not buy a No Slot Clock
package but a Smartwatch for the PC package) with some help from one I pulled
off the net some years ago. I have no slotted 28 pin (E)PROMS that I could
place a 2316E under.

If the Zip chip caches the C100..CFFF area it must understand the //e INTCXROM
and SLOTC3ROM softswitches as well as the "access to CnXX turns on C800..CFFF
for slot n and access to CFFF turns off access to all C800..CFFF ROMS". If it
just understands the INTCXROM switch then it can cache the CD ROM but not cache
any slots (including slot 3). Which is correct?

There is not enough room left by the Thunderclock driver to add Zip chip disable
and enable code to the Smartwatch driver and still have it fit inside ProDOS 8.

Subject: Weird toolbox questions
Summary: I want to do the impossible.  Can you tell me how?
Organization: The Universal Society for the Prevention of Reality
Date: Sun, 11 Oct 92 09:36:26 GMT

Here's a question for the technical folks out there.  (Are Matt and Dave
listening?)

I've read the Dire Warnings about not tail-patching toolbox routines, but
I've run into a situation where I don't really have much of a choice.  I
need to know what kind of trouble I could run into by tail-patching the
xxxShutDown function of an arbitrary toolset (the tool set in question may
be any of the disk-based toolsets from the TOOLS directory...toolsets in
ROM, and the Resource Manager, aren't affected).  Of the toolsets
documented in the Toolbox Reference (vols. 1-3), only the Memory Manager is
documented as requiring a parameter for its ShutDown function...how likely
am I to to encounter other one-or-more-parameter ShutDown functions in
future toolsets?  Do MIDISynth, VideoOverlay, or MediaControl have any
parameters for their ShutDown functions?

The reason I need this is for a project I'm working on...if I can safely
tail-patch xxxShutDown for arbitrary "xxx", then I think I can move some of
the toolsets off of the boot disk and still have the system be able to find
them when it needs them.  Why would I want do do such a thing?  Because
System 6 doesn't fit comfortably onto an 800K floppy...I need to either
find more space on the boot disk or buy a hard drive.  I'm too poor to buy
a hard drive.

I had the same problem for quite some time and (apparently) have finally gotten
rid of it by removing several un-needed inits and DA's.  I don't know the 
exact cause, but I was running QC's Signature GS and I KNOW that "Sonics" was
screwing up the midi-synth tool (tool 035) for most programs with music.  I had
also had twilight installed but Signature's Phantom was pre-empting it.  I
probably removed a few other things too, but again, I couldn't tell you the
true cause, it just quit giving me trouble!  If you DO discover an actual
cause, I'm sure it would be worth posting for us all to see.

I have no idea why people are experiencing all these weird problems...

I have a Supra v.32bis FAXmodem and have really had no problems.

The main system I connect to has a bunch of Telebits, mostly T3000. 
About 6 out of 7 times I get a 14.4k connection, and once out of 7 I get a
9600 baud connection.

There's another BBS I call which has a bunch of USRs, mostly V.32bis and
Dual Standards and I usually get a 12.0k (?) connection to it, sometimes
I'll get 14.4k though.

The BBS at work has a USR Dual Standard, and I can connect to it at 9600 but
I can never connect to it at 14.4k (it's an older Dual Standard - the big
ones, not the newer small ones.)

There's a few other systems I call but I'm not sure what kind of modems they
have - but if it's v.32/v.32bis I can at least connect at 9600, if not at
12k or 14.4k.

I'm not even running the latest ROM (1.2H/1.2J) - my ROM version is 1.2C.

Are you sure you don't have your modem(s) set up correctly?

I usually get pretty good transfer rates too - on a compressed or zipped
megabyte file I usually get about 1590-1620 cps.

I picked up the GSHK1.1 posts from c.b.a2 used Kermit to download to my
computer and GSCII+ (v 2.3.1) to un-binscii.  And, my GSHK11.SEA was 9
bytes too long! No use of SSCII either (never knew it existed till now!).
Something is adding 9 bytes to this beast! What is it!!!

... also, changing the EOF in the directory header of the GSHK11.SEA file
from 118128(01CD70) to 118119 (01CD67) did the trick ... Thanks Matt.

The _Apple_IIGS_GS/OS_Reference is published by Addison-Wesley. Bookstores
_can_ get it. midiSynth is documented in the System 6.0 Reference (forget
exact title) published by Byte Works, Inc., and I do not believe bookstores
can get it.

All IIGS documentation is available from Resource Central.
If you subscribe to any of their periodicals, they have some deals till the
end of this or next month. The "core" tech books for $50 and discounts on
all others except for the System 6 one, since that's new. The "core" books
are definitely not all the required ones. I don't know whose idea it was
to call them the core.

>> Linda Catherine Havas

The IIGS keyboard problem is that the connectors are not soldered on
properly and connecting/disconnecting the ADB cables too often breaks
the connections. This could result in anything. Replacement keyboards
are more expensive than Mac keyboards, which work fine on the IIGS.

>> I think someone asked about DOS 3.3 FST and Vulcan HD...

I do believe that the DOS 3.3 FST will only read 5.25" disks. This is not
inline with how one normally thinks of GS/OS, since it's such a flexible,
modular OS, but I'm pretty sure it's true. I can double-check when I'm back
in my room if you want to know for sure. So, no, GS/OS apps won't 
automagically recognize DOS 3.3 partitions on Vulcan hard drives.

Depends on what you're printing. With text/draft printing the printer is always
the limiting factor. With bitmap graphics the communications line starts to
make more of a difference. In the specific case of the IWII I am not a high
authority (seeing as how I don't own one) but I would not be surprised if the
serial port slows you down a lot when you're printing graphics in Best quality
mode.

Has anybody got some real data on this? I know that with my Panasonic KX-1124i
I got quite an improvement over the serial port when I used a parallel
interface card.

I just got a StyleWriter for my GS.  The output is definitely laser-grade;
it definitely is sloooow, and it definitely does _not_ support landscape
mode printing.  I haven't tried printing fancy graphics yet, but since
the beast actually prints _only_ in graphics mode (no builtin fonts, thus
no P8 printing), I'd assume that it's performance with TrueType fonts
would indicate good graphics as well.
