Hello O Net-Folk!

Subject line says it all.  Not wanting to be left in the dust, I'm wondering
about the best way to accelerate my SE/30 to at least 33 Mhz (maybe more?)
WITHOUT forgoing my wonderful 8-bit Micron video card (plugged into the
expansion slot) and my Seiko 14" monitor.  What can I say, I love the color
for my games...

Also, what good deals on CD-ROM drives are out there?

Thanks in advance--(TIA)--e-mail or posting is fine.
-Jose'

Hi Steve

I sure wish you would try a couple of CPU and graphics intensive games. 
Any of the flight simulators would be great. You might try AutoDoubler
to increase your disk access time. Since all files are compressed the
machine has to read less of of the disk. The speed of the cpu should
make the decompression unnoticible. This notes string has convinced me
to buy the powercache. I need to save up a bit before dish out $1200.

The simplest answer is: NO. I don't know what the devil happened to NuTek,
but my best guess would be that they went out of business or gave up their
attempt to clone the Macintosh. Apple has hinted (a lot) recently at
small amounts of Apple controlled cloning coming in the future- we'll
just have to wait and see.

I'm sure it can be.  I can see where this feature would be very
useful, though.  Where I work, people are always leaving their
MS Word docs in their Word folder, their CricketDraw docs in that
folder, etc.  If they always went in the same place they wouldn't
have to wonder where everything is all the time.  You can always 
move it out once it's been created.

Subject: Re: Carrying case for PowerBook 100?
Organization: Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 1992 01:49:19 GMT


If someone has a summary on PB100 cases, I'd like to see it too.

I found that the cloth carrying case my Tandy Radio Shack Model 100
came in eight years ago is just about *exactly* right for the PB100,
which fits nicely under a little Velcro securing strap; the power supply,
which fits into an internal zipper compartment, and the external floppy,
which fits well enough in an open pouch that has a Velcro strap to hold it
closed.  Plus room for several floppies and some paperwork.

And the sheer class of that Radio Shack leather insignia on the outside :-)

What I'm looking for:
   The Tandy 100 fit just precisely into a Tupperware bacon holder, with
a nice watertight (it floats!) lid.
   Sadly, the PB100 has a slightly curved edge on the screen near the latch,
making it just sliiiightly too large to fit the Tupperware case.  So I"m
still looking for a (sealable, waterproof) container to use.

Likely the Radio Shack Model 100 case is still available, and still overpriced
 (wry smile).

what is even better is that when the ADB stuff came out, a guy from Apple was quoted as saying it cost them a little over $2 to make an ADB mouse.

I got a mac 128k when the 512 was released... $2,495 for 128k, $3,495 for the 512k.  We got a great deal on the 128k: $1700!!! 

3.5 inch disks were 400k, and $4 each, of course they were hard to get.  I had to mail order some and it took three weeks to get a box of 5, 400k BASF disks.

Come on, do you really expect big businesses to "have a heart"?  I don't.
I would be very happy for them to be profitable and sell us good computers
at good prices.

HEY APPLE!  Have you guys been watching this PB100 sideshow?  Obviously there's
a big market out here for portable Macs in the $500 - $900 range.  They don't
have to be blazing fast, have tons of RAM, huge hard disks or state of the art
screens.  Lots of us would like a cheap portable to compliment our desktop
machines at a price we can justify, and we're willing to accept some
compromises.

When Price Club started selling the PB100's there was an article in MacWeek
that stated this was an "experiment" by Apple.  I'd say the experiment was
a success!  So go ahead and be "heartless", but keep selling those $700 Macs
at discount stores.  Of course if Apple announced it was going to sell
$500 PB100's some people would still be pissed off at Apple because they paid
$700 for theirs, but you can't keep everybody happy....

Some more ideas about ideal Photoshop setups:

o  SuperMac makes probably the fastest video card -- the Thunder/24.
   The good thing about this is that SuperMac is releasing a daughterboard
   that will increase the speed of the Quadra 950 up to 1000 percent
   with Photoshop. I think going with the so-called Thunderbolt system
   is _very_ worthwhile.

o  Yes, you will need at least 64 MB RAM.

o  And yes, get _at_least_ a Quantum LPS240 to go along with whatever
   standard drive comes along with the 950.

I have been using mine without problems for about two years now. I even 
installed it in my IIci myself (and took out that old 40mb one and put it in a 
case I got from 3rd wave).

Of course, if you want the newest version of their disk tools, you gotta tell 
them, they do not send it to you as a matter of course.

It's not the drive that matters, it's the SCSI bus itself. The SCSI bus in
the Macintosh Quadra 950 is *not* a SCSI-2 bus. It is not capable of
transfering data faster than about 4.5MB/second. You may put in a SCSI-2
hard disk if you want, but you won't be able to use it to its full potential.

Here's what he has to say...

Hello everyone, I've got a real expensive problem.
I recently (3 months ago) bought a 2nd hand IIsi, and it worked fine,
until
it started spontaneously starting up of it's own accord! The first time
this happened was at 2:30 in the morning - scary to see your Mac alive and
kicking after you shut it down!
After this first happened, it would not turn off (!), i.e. select 'Shut
Down', 
it momentarily blinks and restarts. So I had to resort to turning the
power on and off at the wall to turn the Mac on and off (the switch on
the 
back was _not_ jammed).

This was fine, except recently I went to turn it on and...

Nothing.

It's completely dead. Deader than dead. The power supply was tested and
that 
works fine. It seems to be... gasp!... the MOTHERBOARD!

Noone I know has access to the circuit diagrams, I was wondering whether
some kind soul knows what the problem is, and how to fix it. It looks like
one of the blasted surface-mounted fuses has gone.

Otherwise, the dreaded 'replace entire motherboard' story, where the poor
student blows his entire tuition fees so he can run Prince of Persia in
Colour :(

Thanks in advance.

the only ROMs that would work in a IIx would be IIx Roms anyway, so it's a

an LCII and even a little faster than the IIsi.  On the other hand the 
SE/30 is no longer made so unless you have a warranty with the upgrade
