My Imprimis 94171-308 (no Seagate number), while it does support SCSI
Start to start the drive spinning (assuming the jumper is
set to not start it automatically at power-up), ignores SCSI Stop.
Fortunately, it doesn't shake the table.

Actually I was going to ask a similar question...

However, I can say that for a Mac you have to disable Unit Attention and
SCSI Bus Parity and on some HD's Synchronous Mode Transfer Request which
Macs don't support.

I don't know what/which jumpers you'll need to disable for the Seagate
ST1480N, since each manufacturer has them in different places. You might
try calling Seagate at (408)438-6550 or 800-468-3472.

As for a formatting program for the HD, if you don't have a generic
formatter such as Casablanca's Drive 7, OnTrack's Disk Manager Mac,
La Cie's SilverLining, FWB HD Toolkit, SCSI Director etc... you might want to
consider getting one. Though the best would be to find a friend who has
recently purchased a HD and see if the formatting utility they got with
their HD will work on yours. If it does, and you like, it buy it.

I believe SCSI Tools (not the cdev) is still available at
sumex-aim.standford.edu, which _might_ be able to format your HD.


Which brings me to my question: A SCSI device is a SCSI device - isn't it?
And if set for a Mac (even though it was previously used on an MS-DOS
machine) it should work (if as above, the jumpers are set right) - right?

And yes, it does have it's own controller card attached to the HD, and yes
again I did call the manufacturer - HP - and guess what? They just make them
and sell them to other parties so they couldn't tell me a how to set the
jumpers!

HP model in question is 97544SC - as reported by SCSI Probe and FWB HDT.

If anybody can help with jumper settings for this HD or knows who I might
contact - other than HP - I'd appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!!!

I have 50mhz pc. manual sez some cx's have cpu soldered in. no cache slot in cx
(like previous posters ci) have to remove cpu and replace with socket so you

I believe this is not quite correct.  According to my reading of the

practices.  The rest is speculation.  My source was the Business section of

I use a mail program called BusinessTalk 2000 and use it to communicate with

periods of time, and this mail is in the form of text files on my Mac, I am 
developing a database that can read these files and help me link them to 
keywords and a customer table. I am doing this in 4D.

Does anyone know of off-the-shelf packages that can catalog text files in this 
fashion? I am fairly new to 4D and am having a hard time getting it to do what 
I want without too much programming.

   I'd like to make a database in which a company is a record, with contacts
   (a reasonable number) as a field within that record.  Two questions:

   1.  For repeating fields, is there a way to access the repetitions of the
       field other than those that the first "n" specified for the "display
       n of m fields" question?

There is no quick and painless way to select an arbitrary repeat from a
repeating field yet, although I hope that it can be added in to a future
version of FileMaker Pro.  What you can use, though, is the "Go To Next
Field" script command to simulate Tabbing in to the next repeat of a
repeating field.  You can then Cut/Copy/Paste to your heart's content.

   2.  (More important) Is there a way I can make a layout that will print
       one label for each contact from the single company, and do this auto-
       matically for variable numbers of contacts for each company?  That is,
       (for example) if I have two companies (two records) and the first one
       has one contact and the second two contacts, I want to be able to (if
       both of these records are in the currently selected set) get a total
       of three labels out of the same layout.  Although I asked (1) implying
       the contact was a repeating field, it doesn't have to be that way if
       that's the only thing that would prevent me from doing (2).  The main
       criterion is one record = one company = 1 to n contacts.

In short, no.  FileMaker Pro is capable of printing the body of a layout
only once per record, not once per repeating field.  What you can do,
though, is to save your file as a Clone of itself, close the original,
import from the original into the clone, and split the repeating fields.
Now, if you originally had 1 record with 5 employees, you will have 5
records with 1 employee per record.  All non-repepating information will be
copied into each of the five records.  You can set up some scripts to
automate this procedure, although I will warn that this won't be the fastest
beast in the world...    8-)

   PS  I saw something a while ago about being able to select a record based
   (oops, I mean select a layout) based on a field in a record, but I can't
   find the thing I saw; could someone refresh me on this; I thought I might
   be able to switch layouts per record or something like that.

From within the ScriptMaker script editor, you can choose "Go to Layout
[Specified by Field <XX>]", where <XX> is a field.  The article you saw was
probably mine describing how useful this feature can be.

Good luck, and happy FileMaking!

     Is there a way to search for non-blank records in a script?  Actually,
I need to search for records that are not blank in fields W, X, Y, or Z, but
all records will have data in fields A,B,C, and D.
 
      I can't even figure out a way to get Filemaker to perform a search for 
a pre-defined string when running a script.   There must be a way to do this, 
because there are many applications I can see where you would want a button to
find all occurences of something and print a report.

      Also, is there a way to make FMP2.0 print a report to a file instead of
the printer?  I could save quite a few trees each month with this feature.

Directly, no, there's no way.  In FileMaker Pro 2.0, you can, however, set
up a layout that displays your message in the Body, with no fields on the
layout, and specify that FileMaker Pro go to that layout upon startup (in
the preferences).  I usually place a button on that layout that sends people
into Find mode, or, maybe in your case, into a layout that's being Viewed as
List.

In commercial systems, an SQL only API doesn't have all the expressive

you want the server to do something mindless like spawn/fork a long

the shell output as a SQL descriptor (Sybase Open Client/Server's
