  Ok, that solves one problem, but the osciliscope <sp?> is still screwed. 
 It was also messed for me in 5.04.  All I do is boot the program, and if 
I am lucky, it will work at normal speed.  But if it turns out as it 
normally does, I get about 1-2 points plotted on the 'scope every second.. 
 VERY slow.  And it is so busy with the 'scope, that it won;t let me exit, 
and I am FORCED to reboot.  

  I have A hyperstudio slotless, a rom 1, 1.25 megs of memory, and that is 
about it!  :)

There seems to be a problem with the HFS FST that causes WriteGS calls to only  
write $200 bytes at a time.  I've sent some source code flying around the

The FinderExtras folder goes in the same folder as the Finder (generally
*:System).

Keep in mind that *some* extensions are (at least potentially) useful
while you're *not* in the Finder.  EasyMount and IR 2.0 are two good
examples--they are willing to Do Their Thing even when the Finder is
not active, if only there was some user-accessible way to send requests
to them using SendRequest.

As suggested in the Finder documentation (on the System 6 CD), a good
3rd-party project would be a simple NDA that uses Standard File to choose
a file & then calls SendRequest with the finderSaysBeforeOpen code to
ask "whoever" to handle opening that file.  If it's an EasyMount document,
then EasyMount will handle mounting the appropriate server; if it's an
NDA, CDA, init, or driver, then IR will handle installing it.

Those are just examples--any other extensions in the system would work,
too.  Hopefully somebody will write extensions to handle double-clicking
on text files, graphics files, etc, if they haven't already.

Note that "impersonating" the Finder to send a finderSaysBeforeOpen is
explicitly permitted *in the desktop environment*.

I have a Laser 128 EX with a 65802 and I've finally figured
out the nuances of handling 16 bit interrupts with it.

I patch the language card's 16 bit vector for native mode
interrupts, and make sure that when in 16 bit mode, the
language card is enabled to be read.

Thanks, Apple Inc., for not using these vectors for ProDOS!

After I get the interrupt, can I just pass control by jumping
indirectly to $3fe, or should I pass control to the built-in
interrupt handler?  I've gotten it to work both ways, I'm just
wondering which is the best...

A friend of a friend dropped a heavy book on her IIGS keyboard,
breaking a key. She tried to repair the damage with super glue, but
failed.

Her dealer wants $110/hour, min 1 hour, to even look at the keyboard.
I see no need to comment on this rate.

How does one go about getting a replacement keyboard for the IIGS?
Apparently, Applied Electronics (whom I've bought II+ stuff from in
the past) doesn't deal in keyboards.  What other keyboards are
compatible with a IIGS?

BET will not work properly on my system. Use EgoEd. It's just as good, if
not better and works. There are also problems with Transprog. Why not use
IR2.0 which you can get on the Apple ftp site and QuickLaunch. These are
Finder Extensiosns.

Another possibility (although probably not in your case): FindFile NDA will
cause this error if you complete a search and then click one of the files in
the list of found files.  I have posted a fix for this on America Online, and
would post it in binaries, but the server I'm going through strips high bits

    Not that I've encountered.  I created a 2.5-meg RAM disk on my system
to try out the HFS FST on something larger than an 800K disk.  Works
fine.  How much total memory do you have?  Maybe System 6 doesn't have
enough to run with all your DA's and INIT's.

    On a related note (this is to everyone):  Anyone notice strange things
happening when doing a disk-to-disk copy from a 3.5" disk to an 800K
RAM disk with a ZipGS at 8 MHz or faster?  The floppy is read in, but when
it comes to writing the data out to the RAM disk, the Finder ejects the
3.5 and promptly tells me that I shouldn't eject disks prematurely!!! 
Honest to God, I didn't touch anything!

I found a new System 6 error! (I'm so proud of myself! :-) Sorry Andy!

OK, here's how to re-create it...

From the finder, I opened a folder on a 3.5" disk. Then I renamed the
folder, from the previously active window, say by removing a period.
("FOO." became "FOO") Then I double clicked on the renamed folder, and
it proceded to open a second folder on the desktop with contents
identical to those in the alread open "FOO". Yes, it did rename the
already open folder, so there are now two "FOO"s on my desktop. (I
know, it sounds like a personal problem. Well...) I haven't had any
detrimental effects with this, it's just a curiousity.
Anyway, you may want to fix it via patch...

BTW: I have both mailed this to Shrinkit@apple.com, and posted so that
other's can report if they have had similar findings.

Gayla:  $1104 sounds for all the world like a corrupted file.  Can you FTP
it again?

Preston:  IR 2.0 (no "IR2", please) shouldn't have any difficulty loading
_any_ init, DA or Finder Extension -- however, it will not be able to
install duplicate copies of many until you set the preferences to always
install duplicates (or "try to remove duplicates").  If you ask it to
always remove duplicates, you'll run into the wall on the 99.9% of existing
inits and DAs that can't be removed.

I've been having really weird problems recently while running System 6.
Every time I use Big Edit Thing (1.03b I think is the version) and close 
it after opening a file, my GS becomes one of the slowest machines on 
earth, the main menu bar becomes unusable, and command-Q does not work for 
shutting down.  Severly slow is the key term here.
   MenuTime updates every four seconds.
   Window switching takes about ten seconds.
   No access to the main menu bar, even though Transprog will,
      but quiting from Transprog doesn't work.

I'll give more detailed information tomorrow about what I have on my 
sytem, but for now:

IIGS ROM 1
Zip GS (10mhz/64k)
20 meg hard drive (Apple SCSI, Rev B)

Tomorrow will include what is loaded onto my system (I need to bring that 
listing here).
One last thing, sometimes the system would bomb on BET.
I can't recall having this occure any time before... hmmm.

The design flaw with the Mac is that it has no text screen.  I much prefer

I would love to have a Powerbook, though, but only so I could run MPW-GS.

Last month I purchased the Beagle Bros Timeout Performance Pak (includes
Desktools I & II and PowerPack) from Quality Computers.  When the package
arrived I discovered two of the 3.5" disks had pages of the manual stuck
in the shutter and were too damaged to use.  Rather than send the whole
package back to QC for replacement I thought I'd try calling Beagle
directly (they're located just down the hill from where I live).  When I
explained what had happened their operator told me to go ahead and mail
the disks to them for replacement so I did.  It took awhile to get the
replacements back but I had the 5.25" disks and the manuals so I was still
able to use the programs in the meantime.  However, when the replacement
disks did come I was shocked to find an invoice included with what I took
to be a bill for $20.  Naturally, I became steamed and sent them right
back along with a note expressing my diapleasure.  Well, now I have egg
all over my face.  As soon as they received my note they called and very
nicely explained that I had misread the invoice - there was no amount due
and the invoice was for their internal documentation.  Today I received
the replacements again and took the time to read the whole invoice.
Because of my haste I now find myself compelled to publicly apologize.
The support from Beagle Bros was outstanding and reaffirms all of the
reasons I have dealt with them in the past.  Thanks again, folks!

Sorry about all these posts amidst all these posts, but I have one more little
question.  I'm working on an NDA right now, but there are are couple of 
vstupid questions that I felt compelled to ask:

1:  TBR1 says that the events passed to an NDA are limited to ButtonDown,
    ButtonUp, KeyDown, AutoKeyDown, Update, and Activate.  I assume this
    means what I think it says which means that the only information I'm
    going to get from the Event Manager is just that.  Now, can I assume
    that the event manager is only sending me MouseDown etc. events if
    they happen in the NDA window?  It seems reasonable to assume so, but
    then again...

2:  Again, I seem to be one question short of what was advertised.

Yeah, but by the time you buy all that stuff for the PC-Transporter,
you could get a decent used XT or something with EGA or VGA
