I have investigated monochrome full page displays for the SE/30.  I am
looking seriously at the Power Portrait Display by Sigma Designs.  It
plugs directly into the SCSI port of any Mac (notebook or otherwise).
Sigma is positioning this as the FPD solution for all the smaller
Macs.  I wonder about its capabilities. It's also a new product.

Has anyone seen the Power Portrait?  Can anyone validate Sigma's
claims that its builtin Quickdraw acceleration and hardware pan and
zoom actually give it reasonable performance over the SCSI bus?  It
sounds good that it doesn't require committing to an adapter card of
any kind.  The virtual 2 page desktop sounds interesting, too.

Any other monochrome FPD's that people really like?  Reply by e-mail;
I will summarize if there is interest.  Thanks.

Technically, the only thing that you can do to the computer internally without
voiding the warranty is install or remove cards in the nonCompact Macs (NuBus
cards, the IIsi bus adaptor cards, and possibly the LC cards).  However, if
you install or remove RAM or a hard drive in any Mac, I believe that it is up
to the dealer to show that you didn't have it done by an authorized dealer if
s/he wants to deny the warranty.  Even if the dealer can show that the case to
your SE/Plus/Classic had been opened, that doesn't prove that a dealer didn't
open it.

The above is my own opinions, and not those of any other entity, real or
fictional, living or dead, physical or corporate.

I'd like to add an FPD to my SE/30, plus and future powerbook. Recently
I've noticed ads in MacWeek for Sigma Designs "Power Portrait". I spoke
with a tech-sales-type who said 1) video is redirected to the SCSI port
via a Control Panel device driver 2) no noticeable degradation in SCSI disk
throughput 3) he thought a full screen of info was sent whenever anything
on the screen was changed (mouse moved etc.) 4) refresh is handled on-board
the screen firmware.

Anyone know how good this technology can be? What are the bandwidth
limitations of SCSI that would prevent fast enough screen update? What
about disk/video contention?

Also sound output is necessary. 
The purpose is to use Mac as digital mixer for a band. How many channels
mac can handle and what would be right choice. Is cx/ci enough or do I need an 
fx or quadra. Do you have any suggestions for a software.
Is apple midi interface good or is there better choices?
Is it possible to use same DAT tape recorder for both normal music and

I do not know much about digital sound editing or musical software, but I do

Subject: Personal LaserWriter NTR Configuration Woes
Date: 16 Apr 92 11:32:49 GMT
Organization: Trinity College, Dublin

I've found configuration of a personal laserwriter NTR to be troublesome
to say the least.  Note:- I dont have the manuals yet so that may make
life easier ;-)

Configuration involves a combination of 
1. using a dial at the back to set the expected input on the ports to be one 
of 10 options with default as 0...
	- 8pin din = localtalk
	- serial = 8 bit xon/xoff...
	- parallel = postscript

2.  using the Laserwriter Utility.

Getting the Mac side to see it is the first is hurdle.  Getting the PC
option I wanted (Hewlett Packard PCL Emulation) was next - and this I 
only managed with the switch in the 9 position.  But then I moved the
printer to a different Location and now I cant see it any more 
(from chooser, Laserwriter Utility or Appletalk Ping programs).  
Any advice ?

Tom.

(portion removed from above)

There's no good reason for an dealer to refuse a warranty regardless of where it was bought. Apple pays a fix scale price to each dealer for every particular repair & it works out very well in profit. Trust me, dealers make money on repair even you you're not the one paying. So if they refuse you service, threaten them with a tirad of complaints to the regional Apple offices. That gets their attention fast! He could be viewed as a liability to Apple instead of an asset.


Remember, if they refuse service, they're just being a**holes!

The Sony 1304 Monitor that was recently picked by MacWorld as the
best color monitor buy, even better than Apple's 13 RGB, is really
not all that great.  Infact, Apple 13 RGB if FAR better, and even
the Seiko, which MacWorld seemed to dislike, is better.  I found
this out first hand, and thought I would save people some shipping
costs...not all that MacWorld says is true.  Maybe they thought
Sony was the best because they advertise in their magazine a lot or
something like that.  But IMHO, this is how the list should read:

Apple 13 RGB 
Seiko 1445
Sony 1304.

Well, the APT program is now version 2.5 (last I checked). They also have
a newer version of the driver, but it has a 'b' designation (probably beta)
I'm running this on an internal Quantum LPS105 in my IIsi, 
System 7.0.1 w/ Tuneup 1.1.1 with no problems.

However, it is important to install the new driver while booted from a
clean system (ie: shift key down/no inits, er, extensions)

I updated my driver once while running under VM, and managed to trash my
drive (this is the original Conner 40MB from the IIsi in an ext. case).
Reinstalling solved the problem, though, and I haven't had any crashes
related to the driver since (non that I can attribute to it, anyway).

I have not used any of the password features of the driver. Didn't feel
like it's worth the trouble if it ever fails.
> 
>  I'm not sure what's going on here, but I'm still using 1.13 of Power Tools.

Note that the partition scheme used in 1.13 is not compatible with that
used for ver 2.x. Version 2.x of APT uses the newer partition scheme
introduced with AUX.

Also, although 1.13 works with VM, I'm not sure if it's 32 bit clean.

I seen these mistakes before, I assure you, it's .25mm, infact the MAC 13"
HiRes uses the same Trinitron Tube as the 1304.  Both are actually the
same monitor.  The only thing that I noticed between the two is that the
back of the 13" MAC hooks right up, yet the 1304 needs a cable to be hooked
to the MAC.  To a potential buyer, I suggest get the 1304 since it is set
to do upto 1024x768 NI multisync.  The price I seen for these 1304 goes as low
as $550.00 in mail order, and the cable is around $15.00.  The MAC 13"
is about $650.00, (but I guess you get the MAC label with that).

Organization: VU Biology, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

We are having problems printing from our Macs to laserprinters over
appletalk. It doesn't matter if the laserprinters are in the same zone
or in a different zone than the Mac. There are several errors that will
be displayed. (randomly?).The most occuring errors are:

"Problems with appletalk"    or
"A printing error occured"   or
The mac just beeps and stops the printing      or
A complete system hang-up.       or 

a combination of the above.

Those errors seem to be completely random, sometimes printing goes
without problems for half an hour. than the errors start, giving 
the different errors randomly.

The only thing we can do is keep trying to print because 1 in every 10
times it will go through.

Does the mac get influenced by the position of the sun/moon, or the 
winddirection or something? It sometimes looks like it.

Just out of curiosity...

The reason the PB100 doesn't support Color QD is that it (CQD) contains some
68020 instructions. Has anyone tried using Color QD with the software 68020
emulator CDEV "'020 Simulator" on a PB100, Classic, or whatever? If it worked
at all it would be slooow, but if someone had a specific need it might be a
way out.

Don't try to switch them--  using a 25-position serial switch will get
you into trouble.  Using a 50 position SCSI switch, if they exist,
might work, but you will be tempted to switch while some equipment is
on.  Why not remove the terminator from the Mass*Micro, and use an
external terminator instead?
