Subject: [A] Best Big Monitors and I/F Cards

I want to thank the people, who responded to my request for advice on 21
inch monitors and interface cards to drive them.  They gave me advice based
on their experience and, forunately, the usual Mac periodicals came into my
inbox the next day with reviews on same.  Thanks to Dave Saunders, Bob
Haushalter, Greg (gpwidin@mmm.com), and the others whose e-mail responses
were trashed by weird electrons while I was on vacation.

Looks like it's a SuperMac 21" SuperMatch Color Display and SuperMac
Spectrum/24 PDQ for my super Mac.  The Thunder/24 I/F card, which several
recommended, was too expensive for my budget.

Hi netters,
-TeachText :
Few weeks ago, I had request for help on comp.sys.mac.apps about how to get
Monaco 9 in TeachText. An excellent helper, Frank Probul who is also author
of "MiniSystem-Installer-1.0b1", shows me concise and accurate answers as
follows :
 ---------
Copy TeachText, rename it for the font you want like "TeachText Monaco 9"
Open this TeachText with ResEdit.
Open CODE-Resource 1.

CHANGE FONT:

Search for "0001 A887" at offset $4A88 (or near this address)
  0001: Font ID,
  A887: TextFont Trap ID
change the ID for the font you want: documented in Inside Mac 1, Page 219
   2: NewYork
   3: Geneva
   4: Monaco
 $14: Times
 $15: Helvetica
 $16: Courier

SIZE:

Search for "000C A88A" at offset $4A88 (or near this address)
  000C: size,
  A88A: TextSize Trap ID
change the size, documented in Inside Mac 1, Page 219
  0009:  9-Point
  000A: 10-Point
  000C: 12-Point
  000E: 14-Point
  0012: 18-Point

Furthermore, I asked him how to have a 75-column window. Here's the answer
:
"I think the colunm-width is calulated dynamically when opening the window.
If someone wants to patch this, he has to re-write the whole window-opening
and
window-resizing routines, not only changing two bytes."

I put the answers here is to inform to those guys who love Monaco 9 and
often use TeachText as fast Text Editor in Nuntius, and shows my gratitude
to him.

Subject: finder quits unexpectedly (Q)

Yesterday I had a strange problem with my finder deciding to quit of its own
accord. I created a new folder and then started to type a name and the finder
just quit (then restarted). I then clicked on the name of the folder (at this
stage, still called Untitled Folder) and the finder quit again. I could
duplicate this as many times as I pleased even after deleting the folder and
creating a new one.

The only clue I have to what was going on was the DiskStatus told me I only
had
about 400K of RAM left (although About the Finder said I had 3.5 M, which was
closer to the truth I think). What gives? Has anyone seen this problem
before?
I rebooted and rebuilt the desktop and the problem is gone but I'm curious as
to what has happened.

     My experience recently with mac.archive.umich.edu is that I always get
an error message or no files listed when trying to use the 'dir' (and 'list'
on vm-cms) command. It works fine if use a plain 'ls' command to list just the
names in the directory. I find 'dir' much more useful than 'ls' so I hope they
can fix it before too long. Other than this, I have had no problems
with the site and have recently gotton some files from there.

Subject: HP ScanJet SCSI interface

I have a Hewlett-Packard ScanJet Plus scanner, which I love. However, it
requires a parallel-to-SCSI interface box which is now fizzling out. The
trade-in replacement cost (from Hewlett-Packard) is $230. Nearly everybody
I've talked to who has had an HP ScanJet with the external interface has
said this is a regularly-occuring problem, which is somewhat like buying a
car and having to replace the transmission every couple of years or so.
  Hewlett-Packard claims that this is not the case and that the interface
in fact has a low failure rate. I have heard otherwise from several scanjet
owners. If you have had this problem, please e-mail me. If enough people
complain at the same time, perhaps HP'll come up with at least a more
reasonable replacement policy and we won't have to shell out a few hundred
dollars every few years just to keep a scanner running.

Subject: IIsi problems...

Aside from the well-discussed sound problem, does anyone else have a problem
with their power light cutting off?  The solution for this (for me) also
solves the sound problem.  A semi-firm whack to the right side of the machine
fixes it in no time.

Upon investigating, it SEEMS that the pressure of the monitor on the power
supply inside the mac (back right) pushes the logic board and cuts the
contact of the speaker/power light circuit.  If I figgle with the power
supply, the light comes and goes.

Does anyone have a real solution for this one?

Well. I'm running SP 3.0 on a Quadra with 32-bit ON and the cache enabled

I think you may have another conflict of some sort.

Superpaint 3.0 is supposed to be 32-bit clean. But it needs a lot of memory
when working with  documents. Boost its memory to 3000 or higher and see if
the error message goes away.

What's been done (so far) is to redirect the DNS pointers to alias
mac.archive.umich.edu to shavenyak.css.itd.umich.edu.

shavenyak has a few problems, primary to your application is the lack
of an ls -l or dir command. Use ls to look for/at files, and you
should be ok.

Jeff,
If you're confident that the items you'd order from MacProducts do NEVER
require repair or technical advice (and if the price is right) - why not.
But don't expect them to give any after-sales support.
I bought a modem from them when I was in Boston back in 1990. It works
fine, but the software version was not bug-free. It took me over 2 years
to finally get a new version (of QuickLink II Fax software), but only
after I contacted one of Smith Micro's key employees via email and
complained publicly about MacProducts and Smith Micro in the digest.

Hi all!

I'm putting an addition on my house and, therefore, have an opportunity to
install some wiring with an eye on the future.  I can easily envision a few
Macs (or whatever replaces them) scattered about, with a printer, a modem
or two, perhaps a file server, all living in the basement or some other
central location.  These things all need to talk to each other.  So, here's
the question:  What single wiring scheme is most likely to support both
current communications and coming technology?  Plain old 4-pair telco, run
as a passive star to each room will manage LocalTalk, telephone, and even

    Well, I happen to own a 950 (although I am currently experiencing a

can assure you that there are 4 banks (of 4) of SIMMs. It comes with 8M

Subject: Report: Soft-PC (Warning)

Hi to all of MAC Netlandia...

Here is a WARNING for anyone who is considering getting Soft-pc for their Mac
(this borders on Mac blasphemy doesnt it...?)

Functionally SoftPC works as advertised with no crashes or hitches found to
date.
(I am doing simple C++ compiles using a command line version of Turbo-c++ Ver
1.0)

But... If you bug the 'zoom' box the screen expands to full screen mode & you
lose the last two lines of the DOS prompt off the bottom of the screen.! The
product still works; you just cant read the last two lines of the screen
(difficult to see what youre typing on a MsDos command line thats off the
screen... I am using soft pc Ver 2.5 on my PBK-100).
I would prefer to use the full-screen mode as the program is noticeably faster
(no clipping required within the mac window...)

Even worse, when I phoned to ask about a fix to this problem; the folks at
Insignia Solutions were quite terse; saying just don't run it in a large
window
(I didnt need to phone them to figure that out...) with no outlook for a fix
or
patch to cure the problem.

Come ON; (being a software developer by trade) I know for a fact that software
is hard to develop, but gimme a break; I can't believe that they never hit the
zoom box in the window during testing.... They are selling products that they
know are buggy. (I think this problem only manifests itself the PBKs; because
of their screen dimensions)

My take is they are a small company with too few resources to ix the
problem...
but geeez, I cant believe that they have never tried this on a PBK; hell,
there
ads show their software running on a PBK  (in a small window of course).

Please take heed when dealing with this firm as they are unscrupulous &
unprincipled...

Perhaps by publicizing this bug; they will correct it in a future version.

Comments &/or fixes: Email me at GHudd@lax1b.xerox:com

I will be happy to summarise and redistribute any/all comments/fixes to the
net.

Speed Disk:

Mel, I think you've got speed disk confused with something else.  I have
put speed disk through many a torture test, including pulling the plug in
the middle of an optimization SEVERAL times.  If memory serves me, a
simplified version of speed disk's algorithm is:

	1. Read the file from the disk.
	2. Write the file to another portion of the disk.
	3. Write the directory entry for it's new position.
	4. Delete the directory entry for it's old position.

Because the old directory entry isn't deleted until a new one is entered,
you cannot lose a file to a power failure or other such nuisances.  Even if
the plug is pulled during step 3, the directory entry for the old position
still exists, and so, therefore, does the file, since it is never actually
"erased" from the disk.

I am not trying to say that there is _NO_ way to lose data with speed disk,
only that it is not likely to happen due to a power outage.  And as I said
before, I have put speed disk through MANY such torture tests - and never
once lost a single file.

Just a happy speed disk user,
Russ Arcuri

Subject: Strategic Conquest 3.0

I have Strategic Conquest 2.055 and have enjoyed the game
tremendously.  I've seen ads for version 3.0.  I'd like to
hear from those who have upgraded.
 1) What is different between v2 and v3 (besides version 7
    support)?
 2) Does the program still "cheat"? - that is, it does not
    build pieces in the same number of days that you do
    (in version 2 anyway).
 3) Is version 3 more challenging?

Thanks
Al Best

Subject: SuperBoomerang/DA II conflict

While it may be true that running SuperBoomerang and DA II
at the sme time may cause the same error to occur, it is
not the cause on my machine.  This is simply because I am
not running DA II.  After originally posting this problem,
i have received numerous messages saying that it may be a
conflict between SuperBoomerang and any application that
has a "new folder" button in the save dialog.  I have not
tried using DeltaGraph Pro without SuperBoomerang off.  We
shall see!  :-)

Subject: TigerSoftware?

Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with TigerSoftware?
They have two "new" products listed that might be fun. One is a CD-Rom
game called "Beyond The Wall Of Stars", the other is a game called
"Capitalist Pig" (love the title). Any info on these would be
appreciated. (It's my birthday, time to buy some toys!)

				  thanks!

it. Thanks.
