The 030 slot is designed to accept only card for the LCII (and most for the
original LC). It can be used for anything that a Nubus slot can be used for.

Since there has been several threads on various Sony monitors (1320, 1302,
1304), I would like to ask an addition comparison. How would you rate the
Sony 1304s with the Mac 14" monitors? Here in the bay area, these monitors
are selling at equivalent prices. Both are .25dp, although the the 1304s
does have greater resolution with a 24 bit video, 1024x768. But does this
make it better than the Mac 14"??

I read somewhere that Radius was working on Rocket and RocketShare
compatablity with both the IIfx and IIsi. Now they made it with the fx,
but what about the IIsi-version?

Is the problem mainly the feeble powersupply, or is there some other
(maybe more serious) problems in implementing IIsi compatablity?

Still hoping...

We have one of these on our PB100 too.  Luckily it's in the lower

   In this case, You had booted with the floppy in, that's what
Douglas_J._Kiang@fourd.com mentioned, as opposed to booting sans floppy,
then putting it in.

    Again, look to Douglas_J's message, If the PB100 is asleep, it is shut
down.  To put the drive in while it is on is bad, it's just like plugging
any drive into any machine that's on.  If it is asleep, treat it as if it
were shut down, except that if you remove all the batteries and unplug it
(including the backup batteries) you'll lose your RAMdisk and everything
you were running.
    Of course, it's always a good habit to shut down before doing anything,
so that you don't try it with any other powerbooks.

I use the Felix, which is another small absolute pointing device, and like

Yes, I'd get the Soft Solutions kit, or I'd take the power supply board out of
the Mac and send it to them for repair and upgrade. They replace components
with heavier-duty parts to prevent it from happening again. However, I'd still
add a Fanny Mac from MacConnection after fixing the Mac.

Most people don't need the best machine out there - they need to buy
something that will do what they need it to do - and it'll do that job
for quite some time.

It's a bit more frustrating for those in going into a different
profession - that of Computer Programming.  I need to upgrade my mac so
that I can actually do some coding.  But if I get a loan for a computer
now, that I won't be able to pay off for several years, long before it's
paid off, the computer will be obsolete.  That's no big deal for most

Similar, although they will be larger and draw more power, which is    
why they're not planning an LC/LCII version at this time.  They
*have* stated that they're planning a IIsi version, but it was a few   
machines down on their list of priorities (they're also not sure if
they'll be able to do a dual-slot adaptor for the IIsi yet).  The
'040 PowerCache itself should be out in a month or so, but you may
have to wait a few months for your adaptor to come out (IIci's, 
IIvx's, IIvi's and P600's are the only machines that don't need an  
adaptor).

I purchased a Western Digital 'Preference' 40 Meg drive in 1989.
The case is nice and it has only 1 bad sector after lots of use and abuse.
However, it is slow (~70ms access time). It is actually a RLL drive with
a SCSI controller.

They have not produced a new driver since May of 91 and have removed even
that from their support BBS. Silverlining will not format this drive.

I would recommend avoiding Western Digital for use with Macs.

Regrettably, he does not enumerate the 'problems'.  I've just purchased the

Regrettably, unfounded speculation and the occasional untruth are all too

I can't be specific as of yet but,  I have talked to Apple, Mark of the

   As I said before.  The problem has recently been discovered and this is why I am not being specific.  This is not "speculation" as Mr. Evans seems to think but fact.  Dear Mr. Evans I am not an idiot
as you may think trying to mislead people.  I am warning them of an existing
problem.  I didn't just make this up off the top of my head.  What is the
problem?? I have some information on the subject but not enough to draw
conclusions.  At this present moment I am trying to evaluate the severity of
this situation.  I have heard some very positive views, and some very negative
views.  An Apple employee has been very helpful and supportive, so have the
third party manufacturers that I have contacted.  If you want me to make some

software fix developed which will solve most of the problems however there
will still be some drawbacks regarding special situations and system
exclusive....... this however is as Mr. Evans put it "speculation" ... Get the

I need some help with a Mac 128

I got it to try to see if the 64K drams could be replaced with 256K drams and
make it a 512 cheaply so I could get some rough familiarity with the Mac
platform.  The unit does not boot.  When powered on, it makes a very rough beep
tone and puts noisy vertical lines on the screen.  It gets no farther than
this, but I think it is trying to put an icon on the center of the screen
(there is a noisy little clump in the center).  
If anyone can tell me whether to suspect the motherboard or the video board,
and if anyone has a spare 128/ 512/ 512e board that they have upgraded from,
I'd appreciate it. I would like to give about $25 for a 128, $35-40 for a 512,
and $55 or so for a 512e, but since this is dead, I'm negotiable. Of course
I'll pay shipping.
