Subject: Problem with accelerator
Date: 7 Apr 1992 05:33:57 -0500
Organization: CS Dept, University of Texas at Austin
NNTP-Posting-Host: cs.utexas.edu

Hey there

I have an 'Excelerator XL20' accelerator board (from Irwin Magnetics)
installed in my Mac SE. That is the same as the old ORION board from MacPeak.
This is a board based on a 20 MHz 68020.
The big advantage of this board is, that I can install up to 8MB of RAM and
actually us them, although a Mac SE normally can use only 4MB. This is done
thanks to the CDEV, which somehow convinces the System, that there are 8 SIMM
(like in a Mac II) and not only 4 SIMMs. I have installed 5MB (4*1MB + 4*256K)
and with System 6.05 this worked okay with all the apps and games I use.
The problem is, that with System 7 this is not possible anymore.:-(

Description of problem:

If I instruct the CDEV to use only 4MB RAM (normal maximum for a Mac SE) than
all works OK. But if I tell the CDEV to use all the memory installed on the
board (that is 5MB in my case) strange things happen:
1. "About this Mac..." say Total Memory is still 4096K.
2. The amount of RAM occupied for System Software ("About this Mac...") is
   between 0.5 MB to 1 MB smaller than before.
3. In DiskTop 4.0.1 and OnLocation 2.0.1 (if I try to create a new index) the
   names for my HardDisks disappear.
4. With NowMenus installed I always get "Sorry, the original item could not be
   found" if I select something in a hierarchical menu (control panel, chooser
   or something in a folder that I put in the "Apple Menu Items").
5. The problem with NowMenus (4.) disappear if I install a memory hungry
   INIT/CDEV like ATM (with 512K cache) or TMON Pro, and so the RAM occupied
   with System Software is as big as before.

Obvious solutions:

Use System 6.05    : No way (no alias, no "hide application windows",
                         no custom folder icons, cleaner System Folder, etc.)
Use only 4MB       : With System 7? Good joke :-)
Call Irwin Magn.   : I did. They told me the accelerator is discontinued and
                     they have no update for the CDEV. They even told me, that
                     if I have equipped my board with a FPU and a PMMU, they
                     will not work under System 7 :-(

If you have any clues, solutions or tips, please e-mail them to me.

Thank you very much in advance

	I would like to make an addendum, to give credit where
	credit is due and to correct an oversight (though I did
	receive the information and should have remembered it):

	Virex actually was effective and led to the first
	reported sighting (that I know about) and credit goes
	both to the (unknown to me) user who reported it to
	Microcom, and to the people at Microcom who alerted
	everyone else.

	I have, of course, no way of knowing, personally, how
	effective SAM and VIREX and all the others are, but in
	the way I was told about how (now old) versions of SAM
	and VIREX would be able to detect and report the virus,
	there was a clause describing a certain setting or feature
	being used, which led me to believe that "otherwise, it
	would not detect the virus".  I humbly apologize if I
	jumped to conclusions incorrectly, but having heard people
	being dissuaded by articles indicating that "GateKeeper
	is more trouble to use than it is worth enduring", I am
	a bit inclined to try to convince people that "yes, it
	is worth the little effort and thought it takes to learn
	how to use it".  Lose your work (or hard disk) just one
	critical day, and you are free to imagine me thinking
	(or saying) "I told you so".		;-)

	Anyway, please practice "Safe Hex", and please DO SUPPORT
	the authors of the anti-virals you use, be that commercial,
	shareware, or PostcardWare (such as Disinfectant, GateKeeper,
	and some of the now retired, i.e. no longer updated, free
	anti-virals, AntiPan, Interferon, VirusRx,...
	I can't even remember them all anymore.  In case you didn't
	know, GateKeeper author Chris Johnson received last year's
	award from the Boston Computer Society of "Best FreeWare"
	(the details of this are becoming hazy now) and I am proud
	to have recognized him even before that with my own
	trophy of "A Part of the wall" (the Berlin kind) during an
	awards dinner of two at my favorite Vietnamese restaurant.

	If you happen to go to the WWDC conference, you can save

Many thanks to all the people who sent me hints, tips and moral support.
I finally managed to boot from a floppy by pressing command-option-shift-
-delete at startup (thanks to Jolyon A. Silversmith who was the first to
point out this solution). This enabled me to install a new driver onto my
hard disk, and though I couldn't mount the disk the conventional way (not
even with SCSI Probe) I was able to save about 90% of the files on the
disk using Format Recover (yes, Norton again :-).
BTW, did you ever want to backup a 105 Megs disk to floppies? You'd
better forget your plans for the weekend, then ;-).

Keep up the good work,

I just (finally) updated from System 6.0.x to System 7, and went straight
to 7.0.1 with TuneUp 1.1 (yes, I know 1.1 has been retracted, but haven't
seen 1.1.1 yet) -- anyway, under 6.0.x, I usually got about a 12KB/min
throughput on a 2400baud modem, but now under System 7 am only getting
50 or 60 percent of that.

Anyone else had that happen?

I'm not sure if it's System 7.0.1 or the 68040, but Suitcase II WILL crash on
startup on a Quadra with a bad F-Line instruction if you cut a suitcase and
either don't paste it into another permanent set or paste it into the
temporary items set.  What this means is that to delete a suitcase from the
list to be opened at startup on a Quadra you must create a new set, say
"Deleted Items" and paste the suitcase into that.

Fifth Generation Systems said they were working on a fix when I first called
them about this in February; in the mean time the workaround I gave might help
you, though you'll need to reboot without extensions and reinstall Suitcase
2.0 to get your Powerbook "up" again...

A few weeks ago, I installed sys. 7.0.1 on the machines here at IMV.
The date format was set correctly, and the International control panel was
installed per default.

So, no, it isn't too much to ask, and at least here in Denmark, it already

I guess your problem is the specific localization for NZ.

You need to set the file type information so that it will be
"recognized as TIFF".  ResEdit will work fine.  Check your FrameMaker
manual if wants an imported TIFF file have a specfic "file extension"
like ".TIF".  If necessary, use ResEdit and look at FrameMaker's BNDL
resource.  It will tell you what type of files (and their signatures)
it can write/read.  Look for "TIFF".

Hope this helps.

Howdy,

Right now it says 'Transfer Complete' which I'm getting REAL tired of. I
was looking for a line from Star Trek TOS or TNG where someone says
"Transfer successful" or something like that. I don't have a recorder or
I'd do it myself. I looked at the files on smaug.cs.hope.edu, but they
don't have anything that I really think fits. If anyone can tell me
where to get one, I'd appreciate it.

I have been using AutoDoubler for about two weeks now, and I think it's great!
The only problem I've been having is that it takes a *long* time (upwards
of two or three minutes) for BeHierarchic to construct my Apple Menu at
boot time (I have aliases to about 120 megs of files in my Apple Menu).
This wouldn't be too much of a problem, but in the course of my work
during the day, I reboot pretty often. I have tried using MenuChoice, but
it seems to work only occassionally. Does anyone have any ideas?

Configuration:
Mac IIci, 8 MEG RAM, System 7.0.1, Tune-Up 1.1.1

Frontier _WILL_ do this.  You set your program up as an "agent" and it

I'd like to be able to get a minimal System 7 which can boot any Mac
(or at least SE, Classic, LC, and IIcx) PLUS Appleshare client soft-
ware ("Network extension" and "Appleshare"..?) PLUS an 80k program
onto one HD floppy disk.

Is this at all possible?  As installed by the installer, it leaves me
with about 130k... I'd need about 300.  I looked throught the System
file, and found that a large amount of the space is taken up by 
resources of type 'ptch', 'PACK', and 'lpch'.  I know PACK are the
auto-loading packages, like SANE and the standard file dialogs...
any of those that are good candidates for removing?  My program
doesn't need SANE, I think.  I assume 'ptch' and 'lpch' are patches?
Any of those removable?  What about 32 bit quickdraw?  Is that in
the System file somewhere and can I take it out?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Something similar happened to me when I ran speed disk on my IIci.  I didn't
encounter any problems during the optimization cycle, but when I tried to
reboot I also got the sad-mac.  I found out from symantec that the problem is
that I had Disklock installed.  The passwords are stored in invisible files
whose locations are most likely moved during optimization.  I found that my
hard disk device driver was corrupted and causing the sad-mac.  I was able to
recover fairly painlessly with the copy of silverlining I used to partition the
disk originally. I had to bypass using the hard disk as the startup to boot off
a floppy, in order to get past the sad-mac.  The solution according to customer
support at Symantec was de-install disklock before optimization.
