The emulation may be 100%, but it is not fully compatiable. The main reason that I say
this (and an Insignia rep that answered the phone agreed) deals with disk copy protection.
The mac drive/interface can't recognize the disk copy protection scheme used by many
DOS programs (mainly games). You can get around this by buying connecting a DOS
drive to your Mac. I haven't verified this, but the rep ordered to sell me one.

The manual makes no mention of this and to me is a slight misrepresentation. It took
a LD phone call to get the answer.

Also, a little FYI: It only emulates a 286. Judge your speed by it.

Has anyone heard anything about LIKEN - this claims to be a macintosh
emulation environment for unix systems.  I found it in a SUN World ad
by a company called Andataco.  However, the "fine print" at the bottom
of the page says - "Liken is a trademark of Xcelerated Systems Inc." 
So I assume that Andataco is the marketing firm.

- Has anyone used this and have any comments?

- Even at the educational price I may be better off buying another Mac
  if performance & integration is not outstanding.

- Are there any other similar products on the market?

Hi All,

There has been some discussion recently about RAM disks, I 
had a couple of questions that I hope people can answer. I
have a IIsi with 17K of RAM and a 110 Meg hard disk. I am
running system 7. My work consists mainly of using PageMaker,
Quicken and games (esp. Hellcats!! ;-) ). I would like to get
a performance improvement. I have thought about buying a Daystar
Cache Card, a friend has a IIci Daystar Fast Cache Card that they
do not need so all I need to buy is the IIsi dual port adapter. 
I have also thought about adding a RAM disk. I downloaded one of
the shareware ramdisks (ramdiskplus3.17.sit.hqx) and it seems like
it might be just the thing I need. Has anyone used this and how
do you like it? It seemed like if I was using PageMaker under the
RAM disk and I created a file that I would have to remember to move
it by hand to my hard drive or it would be lost...is this right? How
safe is it to have a RAM disk? Any and all information on this subject
would be welcome. e-mail is preferred but I do read this group...Oh,
one last question...Sometimes when I download a file and try to unbinhex
it, it fails  giving me the message "EOF error" what is this and what 
can I do about it? Thanks for any help!

Cheers,

The latest version of StuffIt (3.0.3) now contains a UNIX Compress (file.Z)
translator.  Still, MacCompress has a place on my hard disk: it is faster
than starting up StuffIt Deluxe (I suppose a really smart person would have
it on all the time, if one downloads/uploads as much as I do! :-),
automatically removes "file.Z" and replaces it with the uncompressed "file".
It can decompress a folder at a time, so you can get all your .Z files to
your mac and then decompress them in one fell swoop.

A nice feature in StuffIt 4 would be to unify the code for translators,
and make them available to magic menu.  Then, any compressed file the SD
knows about can be expanded with one key press (or menu choice), i.e., the
Magic Menu Expand File.  What could be sweeter than that?

I ran some PC-clone benchmark programs last night that I got from a clone-drone
friend of mine. I have a IIsi and SoftAT, and I was curious...
Well, the results were many and varied, but here's the poop:
My IIsi was rated to be between approximately 200% - 550% faster than a
4.77 MHz 8088-based original IBM PC. A different benchmark program said I have
the equivalent of a 10 MHz 8088 in my machine. Well, I thought that was kind
of funny, and I thought others might like to know what kind of a PC my mac
really is...
BTW, I wonder how a Quadra would do on these tests? Anyone with a Quadra and
SoftAT who would like to try, I would be glad to email the benchmark programs.

Bzzzzt.  I don't use SoftPC, but I use SoftAT, a sister product.

We have encountered problems with software that does goofy copy-protection.

We also have encountered a problem with software that uses the 80287.  This
was blamed (by Insignia) on a timing problem, caused by defective code in the
PC application that makes a request of the 287, and grabs data from the result
register before looking to see if the computation was complete yet.  This
timing problem does not occur if the pseudo-287 is disabled, but boy does it
take a long time to run.  Insignia said that this could be remedied by one of
several things (depending on source language): (1) recompiling with a
different compiler option, if a high level language such as fortran, pascal or
c, (2) rewriting some of the code, if it is written in assembler. We got back
to our application vendor and they were not interested in doing any of the
above without big bucks since we were not running it on a 'real' PC where the
problem does not show up.

Also, realize that SoftAT only emulates a 286/287, with EGA/CGA.  Seems to me
SoftPC is an 8086 or 8088 (or something smaller than the 286).  Insignia
provides a valuable product, but it does have emulation problems, and they are
a bit behind in the technology.

Interesting but not much use when the fundamental problem appears to be a slow
modem. From my understanding, "fetch" is an IP based system that requires either
a network or slip. 

The bottle-neck is *still* the modem. If you are running over a modem line that
supports 8 bits of data, you may want to track down a copy of Zmodem for the
UNIX box and your Macintosh. ZModem is not magic ( i.e. if your modem is slow,
your modem is slow ). ZModem is more effecient than kermit, it is more secure
than kermit, and it will let you resume an aborted download without starting
from scratch. Why don't you ask a user assistant at your site for a suggestion?

ZiffNet/Mac is a service offered by Ziff-Davis Publishing Company, the
Publisher for MacUser magazine. You require a CompuServe account. There

1.  Free scriptable HyperCard again

    It wouldn't have to be accelerated.

5.  A/UX right-to-copy licenses for $50 or less per machine (not $290).
6.  Ethernet transceivers for $25 or less per machine (not $122.50).

All of the above would make life easier for those of us still valiantly
trying to evangelize at our educational institutions...a job that has gotten
much more difficult with Apple's recent software unbundling decisions.

Anything that isn't free or bundled requires a separate purchase decision
(like HyperCard, now).  That's a huge obstacle when money is so tight.
We had trouble managing upgrades when they were free!  Our department receives
no yearly budget allocation for software updates, for example, so every
update has to be use- and cost-justified against other possible uses
of that money.  ANY extra costs are hard to justify when we already don't
have enough computers and the ones we _do_ have are outdated.

The Quadra 950 already has this.  It supports 19" displays at 1024 x 768 
at up to 16 bits/pixel (with 2 MB VRAM).   The Q700 has an older ROM which 
does not support this mode.  (There's also an issue with the clock 
generator not being able to generate the necessary video clock frequency.)
