Not to be overly nasty or anything, but README files are there for a
reason. MAZ only works on Apple video cards (and not all of them either),
NOT on built-in video. Also due to the massive hack needed for MAZ to work,
I doubt that anyone else has done it for built-in.

Try getting an old 8-bit card from some high-powered CADophile who just
bought his video spigot (W.O.W. read the MAZ README file to find out which
cards work before you buy one).

Good Luck

Can't answer all your questions but suggets you consider a 2CI with a
minimum of 8 Megs ram. You can always upgrade to a Quadra if there is a
need for more power. I think Filemaker Pro would be a better choice for
your database needs although someone else might suggest a speedier
alternative. Maclink plus is a popular file conversion utility and the
latest version of Stuffit Deluxe has a lot of built-in file conversion
ability. A radius B&W full page display would be my choice for a
cost-effective monitor and Hayes make a variety of reliable 9600 baud
modems . I use Smartcom software but I've heard other packages (namely
Z-term and Microhone) have a simpler interface. Best of luck...

A couple of weeks ago an application was posted to comp.binaries.mac
which was a demo version of a program that allows timbucktu-style
control of a Mac from a Unix workstation running X.  It displays
the Mac screen, pointer, etc.  I wasn't interested at the time, but now 
I might be interested in a site license.

Is it archived someplace?  If anyone has info or the binaries, please
let me know.

I do not have either one and would like to ask if there is a way I can use it

First of all, did you know that BMUG has a great ResEdit book, called Zen and
the Art of ResEdit? It comes with a disk that contains the most recent version
of ResEdit (2.1.1; along with docs on ResEdit), a few ResEdit editor templates,
and some interesting recources. The book describes how to do almost anything
with ResEdit, in an easy to understand way.

 BMUG has also recently come out with a ResEdit CD-ROM. It contains about 70
megs of recource and other recource related utilitiess. While this may not
seem like much for a CD-ROM, recources are small, and there are LOTS of the.
They consist mostly of Shareware or Freeware icons, patterns, cursors, sounds,
Fkeys, and fonts. As far as I know, this CD is the largest concentration of
resources of it's kind.

Indeed.  You thought last year was bad, what with machines being released,
dropped to half price, and then discontinued within six months?

This year's gonna be worse.

Apple plans to release over 70 new products this year.  More than one a week. 
If you own a Mac now, chances are it'll be obsolete by the end of the year.
If you buy one now, chances are it'll be half the price in six months. 

Dealers in the UK are furious.  Machines are being announced as 'to be
discontinued' before dealers can get enough stocks to fulfil orders they've
already taken, and customers forced to wait over two weeks for delivery are
cancelling orders to get the latest super-whizzo machine instead.

Enjoy.

	Hi All,

	I was wondering if anyone could answer a question about
	my IIsi. I just added a Daystar Cache Card and Duel Port
	Adapter to my IIsi. After putting the cover back on, my
	sound stopped working. When I switched the card in and out,
	the sound would sometimes be on, sometimes be off. It did not
	seem to matter whether the card was in or out. I then tried
	to hook up headphones and they seemed to work although the
	sound only comes out one side. Shouldn't it come out both?
	I thought the IIsi had stereo output.  The beeps that the 
	Mac generates come out both channels but games (such as Hellcats)
	only come out one side...The sound also has some static sometimes.

	Any theories as to what happened? I know the IIsi has some 
	speaker problems. A repair place here in town was telling me that 
	I probably have a bad sound chip and that it would be $250 to fix it. 
	I think a just broke a weld putting the cover back on but I do not
	know. I did wear a grounding strap and was very cautious of static
	when I installed the card. Any and all theories would be welcome. 
	Please e-mail if possible. Thanks!

	I have a Deskwriter C connected to an SE/30, and I have to say that the
greatest advantage to the HP is Background Printing.  Your productivity
is increased tremendously through its use.  I've printed full page color
documents from Photoshop.  They take less than a minute to spool to disk.
 After that the Print Monitor takes care of everything and doesn't take
up much CPU time.  It's almost as if it were not running.
	Another advantage to the HP is the noise, or lack thereof.  Except for
the sound of the motor, you can't hear a thing.  Your computer fan's
probably louder than the HP.  The quiet is especially noticible if you're
upgrading from something like an Imagewriter.
	Also, the print quality is great.  HP printouts on good paper are almost
indistinguishable from laser printouts.  Grayscale images are printed
easily and are dithered beautifully.  Printouts at 'Normal' setting are
just about as good as at 'Best.'

Besides all of this, I think the HP's cheaper than the SW anyway.

This is the StartupScreen.  There have been other threads about creating
a new StartupScreen using MacPaint or LightningPaint.  In "Save As" or
"Save a Copy As" dialogs, you can save a graphics file as a StartUpScreen
type of file named StartUpScreen in your Systems Folder.  That is it. 
There are other utilities which do the same thing.  Have fun.  I have

It's part of Ricardo Ettore's Sound Manager Package.

ProSwitch is handy, lets me click on the System 7 application menu
icon and switch apps System 6 style, with the added advantage of
optionally hiding the frontmost application when doing so.

Extensions Manager, lets you keep track of all the little buggers
and turn them on/off individually.  Version 1.8 also lets you
track other things besides control panels and extensions, and lets
you save worksets.

Get More Info, brings up a different Finder box when option-Get

creator, and setting Finder flags.
