I am having problems setting up a Bernoulli Mac Transportable 90-Pro on a Mac 
IIsi Sys 7.0 9/80 (internal). Description follows.

Connected power cord and SCSI cable (drive set as ID 5). Power to Bern--off.  
When Mac starts up, it freezes at "Welcome to Macintosh" message.  Mac starts 
up fine with SCSI cable off. 

Then turned on Bern. (no cartridge) first -- Mac starts up OK. Put in Bern 
Utilities floppy, dragged Driver v.3.4.2 to System Folder which places it in 
Control Panels Folder.  Restarted.  Seemed to freeze when the Iomega icon 
appeared during startup. Removed various other cdevs and extensions to avoid 
conflicts -- same deal. Holding Shift key to not load extensions on startup -- 
OK startup.

I put some other cdevs back.  In the unlikely case that the first loading of 
the driver is supposed to take a very long time, I restarted and saw the 
following: Iomega icon appeared first and froze. I let it sit "frozen" -- 
after about 3 minutes, the rest of the cdevs icons appeared to load.  Double 
clicking the icon in the control panels folder gives a message: The Iomega 
Driver control panel will not run because driver version 3.4.2 is not 
installed.  I put the cartridge in anyway and it goes up to speed but nothing 
else happens.

I don't know how to interpret the results, but I scanned SCSI bus with NU 2.0 
Disk Doctor it shows icons at 0 (I assume internal drive) and 5 (a diamond 
shaped icon--the Bernoulli?) and 7 (I assume the Mac). If I select SCSI 5, it 
says no partitions found (either with or without the cartridge in).

The Iomega Workshop application doesn't work either. 

I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions. (Especially since I won't be able 
to reach their tech service until Tuesday).  Thanks and have a good holiday.

I do not know why the extra Vram slows down my computer. I do know that before
I installed the Vram my LCII tested about 4.25 times as fast as a Classic using
Speedometer. I installed the Vram and since then the best test I've gotten
using the same program is about 3.35 times as fast as a Classic. It could be
something wrong with my using of the progarm or somthing wrong with the testing
program. I do know that I've run the test repetedly and gotten the same
results. It doesn't seem to matter weather I have the color set for 8 bit or 16
bit.

There is a comparison of the "Performance of the Mac Family" in the March
1992 MacUser, page 139.*  With their results, the SE/30 (monochrome) is
about 3.6 times faster than a MacClassic, and a IIsi (8-bit mode) is only
about 2.5 times faster than a Classic.  The IIsi (monochrome) results are
slightly faster than the SE/30 at around 3.9 times faster than a Classic. 

Additionally, the IIcx (I assume w/ an 8-bit video card) is listed at 3.2,
and the IIci (on-board 8-bit) is 3.1.  It is noted vigorously throughout
that on-board video really slows down performance (I heard a third of the
cycles went to managing the video?). 

-Mark 

* After seeing this, I added an 8-bit video card + color monitor to my
SE/30, and it feels ("my dog's better than your dog") faster than any IIsi
I've used running on-board video.

Subject: * Looking for info on SupraFax modem (14400)
Date: 7 Sep 92 00:35:59 GMT

Organization: New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, N.J.

Howdy,
	A friend recently opointed out the SupraFax modem which runs
both as a modem and fax at 14400 baud. I was wondering if anybody had
problems with this before I drop $300+ on it. I'm really looking for
something that will allow me to do work across a modem at more than 2400
(ACK!) baud and still allow me FAX access since I'm looking into
starting my own business. I'm assuming that the modem will automatically
connect at 9600 baud which is the speed I can call school at. This way I
don't have to wait for all those full-page screen refreshes :)
	As for the fax part of it...I'm 100% ignorant. I know NOTHING
about faxes so I'm going to throw some things out here that hopefully
can be 'interpreted' by someone who knows what I'm talking about. First
off, I'm guessing that faxes are sent (and received?) as some sort of
PICT-type file which is read in and printed as such. With the tiny
amount I know about faxes, I'd guess that they con't transmit characters
as TEXT, but rather a picture of text. This would lead to the question:
How does one send a fax of a Word document???? A GIF???? Having a fax
attatched to a computer to RECEIVE makes lots of sense, but as for
transmitting, I'm a bit at a loss for figuring out how the modem
software can take something like a Microsoft Word document and send it
without the document being printed first. I'm FAR from computer stupid
(geez, I program SGIs), but this is throwing me off. In any case, if you
have any raves or flames about this modem, or suggestions on any others
like the Hayes, please e-mail me. Thanx.

Doubtful.  I figure that Price Club got the 4/40s (one of which I bought, and 
am *very* happy with), and everyone else got a crack at the 2/20s.

It's a pity that they evidently stopped making them *before* trying the

distribution will work in the future.  Sigh.

Actually, the Plus is also very neat for heavy word processing and even (wait
for it!) for desktop publishing.  Add a full page monitor (Radius, or similar)
and any word processing or page layout job goes far faster than if you were
working on an SE'30--There is that much speed improvement because of working on
a page at a time!

Word 4.0 is better than 5.0 for the Plus, unless you have some very specific
needs for MSW 5's specific additions. It is possible to use Canvas 2's DA or
Canvas 3.04 and Word on a 4 megger Plus with some ease, and to produce some
very striking and cogent documents with what, for some techno-snobs, is
surprising speed.

All that said, I am only waiting for the October announcements of the Mac
IIvi/x to decide on my new Mac.  I will probably keep the Plus for word
processing, and net it to my new machine, since I could get nothing like a
reasonable cost/effectiveness price for my faithful Plus.

Last week I requested help in how to get my PB140 to behave properly when
plugged in, i.e. it wasn't going to sleep when plugged in, but would
when not plugged in. I had reinstalled the _Portable_ control panel
and clicked _Dont sleep when plugged in_ until I was blue in the face.

Someone responded with what turned out to be the Answer to *MY* problem.
It is pretty obscure (I've been using MACs for 7 years and wasn't
aware, but of course I rarely read the manuals as carefully as I should ;-)
so I thought you'd be interested...

*ANSWER*

You might try zapping the PRAM (hold down command-option-p-r while starting up).

Note that you will have to reset the date etc. after doing this.

*END of ANSWER*

I didn't have to fix the date. A problem with the appearance on one of my
startup Icons was also fixed.

True the SE/30 is faster than the si, but that's not the only issue.  As I
recall he wanted to sink over $900 into his SE to upgrade it.  That really
doesn't make economic sense with a computer of that age.  Regardless of
what you think his SE should be replaced with, he's gonna do better to SELL
the old SE and buy another computer.  Maybe a used SE/30.  Still, I think it
would be tough to beat the sale price on the si now for price/performance.
Plus you have to remember that you get a one year warranty with a new machine
and since it is NEW it should last longer.  The upgraded SE may have a new
motherboard, but the mouse, hard disk, keyboard, screen, etc all have 3 or
4 years use on them.
