Mac EKG is an INIT which measures various performance statistics each time
you boot your Macintosh.  It then tells you how this performance compares
to the previous time you booted.  This can be useful if you change a piece of
software which causes a change in performance.

If you are interested in hardware diagnostics for the Macintosh you should
also look into Peace of Mind, by Polybus Systems Corporation.  It includes
comprehensive and extensive testing of all major hardware and selected
peripherals.  For more info, reply, or call (800) 695-4239.

Subject: Powerbook troubles
Organization: University of Saskatchewan
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 1992 20:01:30 GMT

I don't read this group very often, so if this has been posted before
- sorry.  I am just wondering if anyone has encountered the same 
problems as I have.

The firm I am doing some work for (Not the University of Saskatchewan) 
has recently purchased 25 powerbook 170's (8Meg Ram / 80 Meg HD - no 
modem).

When they recieved them 6 were DOA.  In the one week that they have had 
them - 6 more have gone bad.  I have traced the problem to the 6MB mem
chips they (a local vendor) installed.  It seems that the powerbook 6Meg
SIMMs (the brand installed were CENTURY  NEP-16T  PB170-2/4/6MB  Made in
Japan) are wedged between the keyboard (on top), the connector that the
SIMM plugs into and a chip labelled G2 on the upper motherboard (the chip
has the following numbers on it 0057  50.000  9209 ) like follows:

                        |  keyboard
                        |______________
 _____       _____    _____                   -------------
|-----|-|||-|-----|--|-----|-                 |           |
 -----  |||  -----    ------  <- connact      |           | 
        |||   ______    | G2|                 |  SIMM     |
--------|||--|------|---|---|              ---|           |
    upper motherboard                      |G2|           |
                                           |  |           |
                                           ----------------
                                              ^
                                            connact

Then the keyboard is pushed onto the SIMM (ie picking up your powerbook
to put it into their bag) , the pressure from the SIMM actually has 
broken contact (the solder) on the topmost lefthand side pin on G2.  
There are dents on the casing of the keyboard to prove my point.

Has this happened to anyone else, or am I just lucky?

The symtoms of this problem are:  turn on your powerbook, it plays the 
nice start-up sound and then leaves the screen on (about) 1" by 1/2" 
black and white rectangles, and then stops. DEAD :(

comments would be appreciated.

I will be taking the powerbooks back and complaining, I just want to
know how loud to complain.

Brian, to address the points you made about my Performa600/IIsi comparison

1): Ever heard of a dual slot adapter which allows one to use a cache or 
accelerator card and still add a second PDS card.

2)  The Performa 600's direct slot can only support a card with a CPU on it, nota standard cache card, that is why it is called an "accelerator slot"

3) The Performa can only support a 14" monitor in 16-bit mode, that does not
constitute built-in support of different monitors.  It constitutes support of
different colour depths.

4) According to Byte benchmarks of a couple of years ago, the IIsi with its
20mhz 68030 and no FPU runs at approximately 70% of the speed of a IIsi, the 
Performa 600 hundred with its 31.33mhz 68030 (which is faster than the IIci's 25mhz) runs at 50-80%, doesn't that tell you something.

5) The IIsi has multiple monitor support two, so there is no difference there withe 600 (by multiple monitor support here, I mean the ability to run 2 or more
monitors simultaneously).  The IIsi, however can run a full page monitor out of the box without the need of an additional video-card, so chalk one up for the IIsi.

That's not what was found in this month's MacUser. They show performance of 
P600 vs. IIci w/ and w/o cache card--the P600 is way behind both. I'm going 
by memory, but the numbers relative to the old Classic were something like 
P600: 2.8x; IIci w/o: 3.5x; IIci w/: 4.2x. They said the tests were "three 
applications sure to be used by P600 users", whatever those were. I doubt 
that they were FPU-intensive things; more likely WP, DB, and Hypercard.
Anyway, the 25MHz IIci *is* faster than the 32MHz IIci and the mystery 
remains.  What about disk operations?

I have had a deposit down on a PB 145 for over two weeks with the UT
MicroCenter. I called yesterday to inquire about when they might be getting
some new PBs, and they said that PBs are baclordered by six weeks! I called
a few other places in town, and they are out of 145s, too. One of the places
even said they do not expect Apple to ship any more 145s, as they 160 will
replace it in the PB lineup.

Having the 160 replace the 145 _does_ make sense, in a way--if Apple is
bringing out two pairs of notebooks (the 160/180 pair, and the Duo pair),
the 145 doesn't really "fit" (although it is more similar to the 160/180
than the Duos). BUT, I have never heard this. Has anyone else? Does anyone
know of a place that IS currently well-stocke in PB 145s?

I'm pretty sure the second is normal, provided it isn't severe.  The
first is adjustable, but it requires taking all covers off the display
and rotating the yoke while the power is on-- or at least that's what
I was told about my 13" display.  Not something for even a

Yep, my 13" was shipped 3000 miles by UPS ground, as well as several

Oh sure it does.  It's nothing fancy, but you can plug in a ear phone
or anything that has an ear phone size jack.  It's handy to listen
to when you're in a place where you don't want to disturb people.

If by "sound-out port" you mean a phono jack, that's correct, but a
ear phone jack is a "sound-out port" in my book.

Even the original Mac has this (the 128K and the FAT Mac (I love that

My experience has been that you can use version 1.0.x of the driver under
System 7 if you are in 24-bit addressing mode; to run the Apple Scanner
under System 7 with 32-bit addressing you need version 2.0 of the driver.

I always wanted a HD activity indicator for my IIsi.
I've looked at software solutions, but they are not as nice as a
real LED.
Yesterday, I found out that the Quantum HD in the IIsi (like many
other HDs) has a connector for a LED to indicate HD access.
What the heck, I said to myself, the power-on LED has no other
function then to indicate that the computer is on. I can tell that
by looking at the monitor (or, in case the monitor is bad, listening
to the fan, which is not difficult at all).
So, I removed the 2 wires from the power-on LED and plugged them to 
the connector on the HD. It works marvelously.
You may be thinking that you can tell when the HD is accessing by
listening to it, which is also not too dificult, but you'll be
surprised to find out that the HD noise does not always mathch 
access activity.

Actually, Quantum is having a few problems with the Go-120, and has

		Asking $900 or good offer for everything

		The aforementioned computer was purchased from a former 
	employee of Apple Computer. The machine has a ventilation problem.  
	I assume that the folks at Apple fixed the problem with the 
	production  models, but this one overheats itself into system 
	errors after about 60 mins of uptime with the HD spinning, etc.
	Besides that, the machine works great, is fairly fast, and fits 
	under your desk when you're done with it.    
	If you operate the machine with the covers off (they pop right off) 
	while periodically blowing on the internals every 10 mins or so, 
	it works fine. *OR* get a small muffin fan and stick it where you 
	please.  *OR* part it out for 5 times what it's worth, I don't care, 
	but I don't have the time to seek out buyers for every part, so I'd 
	like to sell it as a whole unit. 

		This computer is in EXCELLENT condition. The screen 			
	is not backlit, however, but is has perfect viewability in normal, 			ambient light, like a big LCD calculater display. There is one tiny 
	line of pixels on the matrix screen that is disabled (this is not as 
	annoying as it sounds, and not very noticable). Nonetheless, this 
	is a good working computer (at a good price) looking for another
	good home....
