I've been having an odd problem with my Mac IIci at the office.

I'm running System 7.0.0, Tuner 1.0, QT init, MacTCP, various RasterOps
stuff to support a Sweet 16 Monitor, 20MB RAM but usually in 24-bit
mode.

The problem I'm having is that MacDraw Pro (1.0.1 or so) exits with
an error -605 (application partion was too small) the second and
subsequent times it is started.  MacX also exits with error -605 and/or
error 3 (SCSI dev arbitration failed).  The only way to get either
app running is to restart.  The MacX version in question is brand new.

Neither app is running in an undersized partition.  Both, in fact,
are running in somewhat oversized partitions (although I've tried
all sorts of sizes).

Any suggestions?

Yes, it's Portfolio Systems (the publishers of DynoPage and DynoDex).
I'm not sure if SuperGlue II is still on the market as Portfolio is
apparently doing a major upgrade due out this fall, complete with a
new name, E-Paper 3.0.  According to the 8/10 MacWeek, "Enhancements
include built-in compression, improved search and selectoin
capabilities, and options to create 'self-viewing' and 'self-printing'
documents that can be used without a viewer application."  List price
is supposed to by $89.95.

A couple of respondents suggested that I had an init conflict.  This
morning, I tried removing INITs one by one until I was down to nothing
but printer resources, MacTCP, etc., just the bare essentials, in my 
System Folder.  This includes removing Tuner and all of the
RasterOps software that comes with the monitor, all the RenderMan
stuff, QuickTime, and so on.

The problems persist.

MacDraw Pro 1.0v1 (or whatever) will launch ONCE, maybe.  All subsequent
attempts are rewarded with error -605s (app partition too small).
Restarting is the only way to relaunch the app, period.

MacX 1.1.7 also launches ONCE, maybe.  It has taken as many as a half
dozen restarts to get it up.  It fails with err -605 or err 3 (SCSI
arbitration failed).  After it fails w/ err 3 (not err -605), subsequent
attempts to launch it generate messages to the effect that the connection
tools aren't working.

Both apps are in oversized partitions, though I have tried a variety
of sizes, to no avail.

The machine is a 20MB Mac IIci running System 7.0.0, Tuner 1.0, a
RasterOps Sweet 16 system (Mx board), with the Disinfectant 2.9 init,
RenderMan & Connect init, RasterOps Accelerator and Monitors Extension,
QuickTime init, MacTCP.  Usually the machine runs in 24-bit mode.
Again, I have tried removing ALL extensions save printer resources
and other ordinary system software.  The hardware is Ethernet card, 
Mx card, monitor, internal drive, mouse, keyboard, period.  The Ethernet 
card is the TechWorks thinwire card with the TechWorks drivers and 
System 7 patch.  

What the @*!& is going on here???  I thought that this version of
MacX claimed to be completely compatible w/ System 7.0.

How can one copy a sound/song from an AudioCD directly ? (without passing
through the LC, IIsi or Qs' microphone port).

The idea is to find a app that would sample sounds from an audio CD
through the
SCSI port. (saving it in SoundEdit or other format). 

As anyone heard of an commercial/shareware app with such a feature ?

Hey, don't sweat it.  Disinfectant is a great program just as it is.
Why gild a lily?

I admit I don't recall reading about your plans to make it take
advantage of System 7.  Frankly, though, I want a program to scan and
disinfect my disks. I don't care if it supports Publish & Subscribe,
and I don't like balloon help anyway.  Maybe networking support would
be useful to some people, but not to me. Probably not to most people.
I just want a program that works when I need it most.

I don't doubt you had some good ideas for Disinfectant 3.0.  However,
as long as it works and works well (which it does), trying to "take
advantage of System 7" just sounds like an attempt to keep in style.
My guess is that you wanted to do these things more because you were
intrigued by a chance to learn more about the internals of System 7 (a
worthwhile goal, but one that can be pursued in other ways) than
because Disinfectant really needs any of that stuff.  Disinfectant
does what it's supposed to do, cleanly and simply.

I really hope you do keep Disinfectant updated for new viruses.  I
also hope that, if some future version of the System breaks it, you'll
take the trouble to fix it.  (My reasons for hoping that are purely
selfish ones.)  But beyond that, do something different.  Have a
change of scenery.  Working on the same thing for years on end isn't
good for anybody.

As for having very few new viruses this year, why do you suppose that
is?  I think it's because writing a new virus for the Mac is pretty
futile, with you and a few others like you on the job.

That's just my $0.02.  I expect a few other people on the net will
have their own comments to make.

   Launch ResEdit. Open the FKEY file. Double-click on the FKEY icon. Click
on the FKEY resource to hilight it (it should have an ID between 1 and 0).
Choose Copy from the Edit menu. Close the file and Open a copy of your

Then open the FKEY picker (double-click) and select the FKEY you just

JimTV and MovieRecorder are both on the QuickTime developer's CD.
JimTV works fine for me (Mac IIci, 20 meg RAM, although I suppose if you
want to capture 30 fps, or bigger pictures, you will need something faster
than a IIci).  MovieRecorder seems not to be compatible with 32-bit
addressing.  But to get reasonable capture speed, I had to capture to
memory with no compression.  Thus, with a max of about 5 megs of space for the
program, I could capture only very short bits.  With JimTV I could
assign 16 megs to the application, and capture much longer bits.  Another
way to capture fast was to capture to disk, but use a RAM disk.

Sorry, make that "Second Wave".  I repeat:  I found the company 
to be very forthright about the capabilities of their product. 
When I mentioned that I was mainly interested in getting an
accelerator card, they steered me to DayStar.  Frankly, the 
Radius Rocket would not be the best choice for accelerating 
a IIsi anyway.  I can empathize with the person who bought
the wrong widget -- it's alot of money, and probably not much 
of a resale market -- but this still looks more like a case 
of miscommunication and/or careless product research on the 
part of the buyer than a case of fraud.  

Consider the buyer's claim:

>> I called that company (long distance) and tried to get a refund but
>> they said things like "We don't appreciated you!", "you have to pay 
                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>> for your own decision", "We are not going to give you any refund",etc.

Really?  The person that I talked to spoke English.  He had a bit
of a southern accent (Second Wave is in Texas), but his grammar    
was clear.  I expect that what the guy really said was "We can't
understand you."  I couldn't understand most of the original   
article either, and that was written instead of spoken in broken 
English over a long-distance telephone line.

Sorry if that sounds harsh, but "Caveat emptor" makes sense 
in every language.  It also helps to be patient and polite
on the telephone, especially if one is communicating in one's
second language.

I just bought Autodoubler yesterday and I threw it on my LC.  When I 
tried to run some apps, specifically Stuffit Deluxe to unstuff something,
I got the error "app is busy or damaged (missing?)".  This was when I
tried to open the app. directly.  When I tried to open a .sit file, it
said the application could not be found.  This problem was solved when 
I rebuilt the desktop.  When I got into stuffit and then quit, I got the
message that my HD needed repairs.  When I said OK, it rebuilt the desktop.
The catalog files and b-tree headers on a series of floppies I inserted were
damaged somehow (I don't know if it was Autodoubler).  I've had other
problems, too, though no system errors yet.  I have a Mac LC with 4/80.
Has anyone seen problems like these before?  The manual claims that there
will be no problems opening compressed applications or their compressed
files, but after one day, I'm considering canning the program and sending
it back.   Norton Utils says the HD is OK and never had any problems.  
Disinfectant 2.9 says there are no viruses.  If no one has any ideas, I
guess I'll call the company, but I'm not looking forward to spending an
afternoon being shuffled from department to department with no results...
