I made the mistake of forgetting all about the benefits of system
6 after I installed sys 7. That was a big mistake. Luckily, I had
some incompatibilities, so I installed sys 6 on a partition. Now,
I can easily switch between the two, and the difference is phenominal!
With system 6, I use just AutoDoubler, and no cache or MultiFinder.
In system 7, the last two have to be on. Because of what I consider
a system 6 advantage, I have tons of memory to work with. I think
putting sys 6 on a partition is a great idea for anybody who finds
that he/she has just enough memory for launching something big, but
could always use more.

Where could I find a copy of this via FTP, or is it not available for

I just got a 88 megabyte drive from APS.  For the drive, one included
cartridge, one extra cartridge, and second day air the total came to
$650.  APS is not the rock-bottom price, but it's close.  I chose them
because they were recommended on the net and they have a two year
warranty on the drive and media.  The included cartridge came with a
bootable 7.0 OS and 20 megabytes (!) of compressed fee/demo/share-ware
plus SCSI probe and another SCSI tool.  All in all I am very impressed
with the drive and APS.

One slight hitch is that it sometimes insists that the extra cartridge I
bought isn't correctly formatted.  Other times it mounts without
problems. I've heard that reformatting will fix it, but I haven't got
around to it.

Hmm. I have an interesting task that I haven't been able to cure. Now, being
my normal persistent self I would like to solve things out myself. 
Unfortunately I don't have time to do such... So, if you think you can help,
then read on!
   We are using eXodus and MacX to establish xterminal connections with
various UNIX hosts. Now, establishing an REXEC connection is child's play,
and doesn't really merit discussion. however, we're having the hardest
time establishing RSH connections with any sites that do not support the
REXEC command. Has anyone had luck with this? I know that eXodus does support
RSH commands, but I have been unable to have any luck. 
   First of all, how do I execute the command? Is it as simple as:
/usr/bin/X11/xterm -display your.ip.number.here:0
   Second of all, how do I place a macintosh in my .rhosts file so that
it can be recognized by any remote RSH queries? I tried :
your.ip.number.here +
your.ip.number.here *
your.ip.number.here
and none of them work. Any ideas? It's rather frustrating if not aggravating.
   If you think you have any ideas on the matter, then I would surely 
appreciate a reply as I need to have this up and running in the near future.

	I will point out, however, that StuffIt SpaceSaver is FULLY compatible
with (and has been tested on) AppleShare 2.0 & 3.0 servers and works quite
nicely to keep everything on the server (or only those files/folders of
your choice) compressed.

	The AutoDoubler Internal Compressor is quite similiar to what MDS
calls TCA's (Transportable Compressed Applications).  StuffIt SpaceSaver
does not currently provide resource-level compression.

I need a couple of cables for my Mac IIcx, namely:

1.  Mac serial port on one end, straight through to 9-pin D-connector
RS/232 on
the other, and
2.  Mac serial port on one end, null modem to 25-pin D RS/232 on
the other.

Ideally, these cables would be rather long -- about ten feet -- but
shorter is OK if it's a lot cheaper and/or faster.

Any recommendations for vendors?  It would be convenient if they'd
take a
college purchase order.

I thought part of the point of this grand arguement was that you wouldn't be
allowed to share your copy of the system with your friend.  If they are willing
to split the cost of the system with you without being able to have a copy of
it, I would really like to get to know him/her. :-)

This is a bit silly, I think.

A professor of mine has a blurb on her door which quotes educators
over the past 300 years lamenting the current state of education.
Prarie educators in the 1700's bemoan the fact that students don't know how
to prepare bark for writing on.  Later they gripe that students
can't make their own ink.  In the early 1900's they say the ballpoint
pen will be the death of modern education.

If the presence of an enscribing device gives a student a huge
intellectual advantage, that is a problem with our educational
system, not with the enscribing device.

And if one is truly concerned with wealthy people having an unfair
advantage over poor people in education, pda's aren't exactly the
most accesible example one could name.  A friend of mine taught
grade school in a Chicago ghetto.  They used to run out of paper.
Yes, paper.  Gosh, you're right.  It sure would be a shame if 
electronic notepads gave rich people a leg-up in American society.

sigh.

ok, rave over.  You  may return to your stations.

Hopefully someone with experience of both Mac and Amiga can help 
me with a few problemettes:

I am a Mac user, my friend has just bought an Amiga 600. I have
access to the net, he doesn't. I have rashly volunteered to
grab assorted freeware/shwareware from the net for him. So,
what I need to know is:

1) How do I transfer stuff from my Mac to his Amiga 600 ? I can
   save stuff onto MS-DOS disks - can the Amiga read these
   directly, or do I need some sort of utility ? If I need
   a utility, what is it called, where do I get it from, 
   and how do I get over the 'bootstrap' problem of getting
   it onto his Amiga in the first place ? Or perhaps there is
   a Mac utility which can read/write Amiga DOS disks ?

2) What compression/encoding scehems are used ? (Mac users:
   what are the Amiga equivalents of BINHEX, StuffIt, Compactor,
   etc) ?

3) What are some good sites where I can FTP stuff from (Mac users:
   what are the Amiga equivalents of sumex-aim.stanford.edu,
   ftp.apple.com, etc) ?

4) What is a popular freeware/shareware comms program, ideally
   with ZMODEM ? (Mac users: what is the Amiga equivalent of
   ZTerm, etc) ?

5) [Special bonus question for ham radio enthusiasts] Where can
   I get freeware/shareware morse, packet and other ham radio
   stuff for ther Amiga ?

Thanks for any help you can offer - please no Mac/Amiga advocacy
stuff, just the facts, via e-mail preferably...

Mac-To-Dos is a commercial program sold by Pacific Microelectronics for
around $200. There are some copies of version 1.6 floating about on the
Internet; they all should be removed from all archives.  There is NO
version of the product that is shareware or freeware or a demo--period.
Pacific Micro was very upset to find that the program was still at the
