	Nope, afraid not. FTA disbanded around late November of 1991, most
either moving to a new platform (IBM, Amiga, Mac), or leaving the computer
scene altogether. Their very last finished product was NoiseTracker GS 1.0,
written and released by Olivier Goguel. 

	Olivier Goguel donated all the FTAs unfinished in-the-works software
to Joe Kohn (They included "Delta Demo", "Bouncin'Ferno", "Blue Helmet",
"Oil Landers", "Bulla", and maybe one or two that I've left out). There was
a project for a game called "Burger and Fries" to be done by Olivier and
Bill Heineman, but that seems to have gone uncompleted too. :(

	Last I heard, Olivier was working with programming projects for the
IBM. Too bad, he and the rest of the FTA had talent like no one else ever
before! :/

To both people who are having trouble with System 6 (HFS in
particular): have you tried re-installing the system software, using
the five disk set?  Run the Installer, use Custom Installation, and
reinstall all the appropriate options.

One particular problem is installing AppleWorks GS _after_ installing
System 6.  It seems that AppleWorks GS replaces some of the system
files with ones from its own system disk, which is only System 5.0.2.
Having a mixed set of files leads to very bad behaviour, to say the least.

Well, if I am reading you correctly here -- don't put the "FinderExtras"
folder in System.setup folder. Put the CONTENTS of FinderExtras into
System.setup folder.

In order to access Finder Extensions from outside the Finder I believe
one of the NDAs available for this purpose must be used. Anyone remember
the names of these NDAs. (I think there are two that I've heard of).

To use a DeskJet 500 with your Apple IIGS   Do the following:

First go get a cable ::  Mac+ to ImageWriter I   (NOT II)

Next go get the Harmonie Print Drivers

Finally get Pointless Trutype:

Works like a charm on my GS system and I loved it more than 
the StyleWriter and DeskWriter I used to own before the DeskJet500.

Is anybody out there having problems using a 65802 inside a //e inplace of the
65C02?  I'm having trouble using the 65802 and running an old (OLD) Rana Elite
5 meg hard drive.  I've tried using a 65816 (since there was talk of this
earlier) but I had the sam problem with it.

The hard drive has a card with ROM and RAM on it.  In $C800-CFFF, the banks
$CC00-CFFF are used for ROM, and the other 1k can select either another ROM or
up to 7 1k RAM by reading $c0f8-c0ff (when the card is in slot 7).  The problem
is that the demultiplexer is getting the wrong lower three bits and is 
selecting the wrong set of RAM or ROM.

On another note, I noticed that the //e board has four silver(?) contacts on
the lower left-hand corner.  Can I use these to power a logic probe?  In other
words, does anybody know the signals or purpose of these contact?

Thanks ahead of time

A new power supply should be about $80 at an Apple dealer. Other options are
buying an AE heavy duty power supply for a little less or Alltech probably has
power supplies. The II+ power supply is the same as a IIe power supply.

Hello,

     I had a few more questions after looking under the hood of my 
Franklin Ace 1000 Plus (Ace v2.2).  Like:

     It had a card in it, I don't know what it is.  The only thing it has
wrote on it is 'Dumpling-GX' and 'MICROTEK'.  Any ideas?

     What termial programs work best with it?

     Does it support the Super Serial Card so I can run a modem?  If so
which slot does it go in?

     Does it work just on a monitor or also on a T.V.(with one of those 
little switch controllers)?


                                       Thanx again,

I have recently been employed in the Product Returns Dept. of
MicroAGe Computers here in Tulsa. As such, I have access to 
all the goodies that customers return that the vendors won't
take back. Some of the stuf is in brand new condition but the 
vendors are anal-retentive about what they will take back.

There is an internal Superdrive sitting on our clearance 
center shelf and I would like to buy it and mount it in my 3.5"
drive case (the 3.5 drive is dead). Is this possible
without having an degree in Electrical Engineering and without
ripping up the case?

On a similar note, there are a ton of internal hard drives that
have been orphaned. I would love to put together a rack system 
with four or five of them linked in a SCSI chain. Any one have any
suggestions on how to go about something like this? (IE what sort
of power supply and such would I need)

One final question: Has anyone writen a driver for any of the
650Meg floptical drives out there yet? I have about 200Meg of
GIF images that I would love to archive on one of those things.

On the IIe, the testing is done using the auxiliary slot (and possibly
some of the normal slots as well).  The 'edge connector' on the IIe is
actually a power supply connection (for what, I have no idea - perhaps
it's used to test the voltage output of the power supply in a loaded IIe?)

Um, I think the original message (and the magazine article) are referring to
the 14MHz chip reengineered by Sanyo, and announced last fall. The horrors
of the three-month lead time...B-)

The "double the speed" sounds a bit misleading...I suppose it will double
the speed of a TWGS, if you're lucky to have a stable one.

To those who don't know: Installing a faster CPU will only help you if you
have an accelerator board, and then only if you upgrade the oscillator
crystal (to 4x the CPU speed) and the cache SRAM, at the same time. Here
we go again with this discussion...ah well...

(with the usual apologies for eventual misposting and/or my ignorance)

Context:

My wife teaches at a school that has some old Apple IIs.  Her kids produce
a  newspaper  with  a  (limited)  program  called Print Shop.  The program
apparently only came with about 15 pics that they can use.

Questions:

- are there  additional  picture  libraries  available  for  this  program
(either commercial or public domain - and in both cases where can  I  find
them)?
- can she use other picture formats (GIF,...) and convert them to a format
that Print Shop can use?  If this  is  the  case,  is  there  an  internal
conversion  utility  in  the  program  or does she need another conversion
utility and if so which one and where can we find it?
- in case we can use and convert other picture formats, how do we do that?
The  school doesn't have access to Internet, and I have a PC myself, but I
do have access to MACs at my work.  Can  I  convert  from  either  one  to
AppleII and if so, how?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, preferably via  e-mail,  because  I
don't  usually follow this newsgroup.  If I get some useful info, however,
I will summarize and post it here again.

	That was more of a "try it on your system and see what
happens".  I have a Visionary GS and a RamFAST and they work fine
together.  When I talked to Drew about it, he said test it out, if you
have problems, they would modify the RF to work with the Visionary.
