I have to disagree with this.  Here the mac's are always in constant

I started off in the PC world, and I still follow developments in it.  It
is kind of funny that I have had *supposed* IBM experts come to me for
help on their PC's.  I prefer the macintosh.  I feel a lot more productive
and on the whole I feel it is a better computer.  Now play close attention
you noticed I said I prefer and I feel.  There are MY personal preferences
and opinions, so DO NOT start a stupid flame war of how I am wrong and
you are right.

Also DO NOT group everyone together like you did up there.  My boss at work,
who knows a hell of a lot more about the macintosh than I do, started off
in the IBM world also, and now he also is strongly macintosh, but that
does not mean he has forgotten all of the stuff he learned before.

	Speaking of SCSI for the MAC & PC, I've recently bought a
SCSI drive that was pulled from a MAC. It's a Quantum LPS240. I've
never had a SCSI drive before, only IDE hard drives where you entered
the setup info in the the hard drive tables stored in the CMOS RAM. I've 
just recently purchased a SCSI adaptor for this drive (it hasn't arrived yet),
but I'm wondering how I would go about installing this drive. I'm told that
the drive does not have setup information to be entered into the CMOS
setup. How then is the drive recognized? Also, since the drive was in a 
Mac, I'll need to format it, right? Will DOS's FDISK and FORMAT do the
job? Or is a low-level format required? Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone,
	I am currently trying to decide which PS/2 system to purchase for my

MCA expansion slots.  The Model 57SLC has 5 slots, but has a 486SLC 25/50

Does the "S" mean it has no floating point unit?

 I'd really like to hear some comments on this product.

 We have an old PS/2 Model 70 16 Mhz 386DX machine that we're faced with
either spending $900 replacing the harddrive or $1000 throwing the whole
computer out and buying a replacement clone.

 Right now the clone appears to be a better solution, as the performance of
the PS/2 Model 70 is very poor.

 But if we could some how replace the motherboard, thus allowing us to
continue to use our MCA cards(SCSI adaptor and Ethernet), yet giving
us some improved performance and the ability to use a cheaper IDE
harddrive.

Here's some info, from PC Week, Nov 23, 92: 

"...Reply's TurboProcessor System Upgrade line of user-configurable
boards offers users a choice of IBM's 25MHz 386SLC or 25/50 486SLC2
processors or Intel Corp.'s 33MHz 486SX or 33/66MHz 486DX2 CPUs.
The boards replace the system boards that are available on the PS/2
Model 50, 50Z, 55SX, 60, 70 and 80. Prices range from $495 for the 25MHz
386SLC upgrade kit for the PS/2 50 or 50Z to $1295 for the 33/66 MHz
486DX2 replacement for the PS/2 60 or 80.
<quotes from company officials deleted>                             
The boards support up to 128M bytes of memory, 1024x768 resolution and    
256 colors; they include 1M byte of video memory, a GUI accelerator chip   
to speed access to graphical menu, an AT IDE interface and the
MicroChannel IDE and SCSI interfaces.
The boards also include and enhanced parallel port interface, which
provides bidirectional, direct-memory access for high-speed data
transfers between PS/2s and intelligent peripherals.
Shipments of the boards are slated to begin Dec.1, but Reply will take
orders directly before that, officials said."

For a PS/2 60 owner (me), that might be $600 for a 386SLC MB. This is
about the same one would pay for a combo of IBM's 486SLC2 upgrade and
ATI's 8514/A video board. The ATI has OS/2 drivers (not seamless 
though), the accelerator Reply uses might not. Then again, a motherboard 
designed for 386SLC might perform better than the 286-10 MB with a 
486SLC2. And IDE/SCSI is definately better than ST506 I currently have.

wonder if my existing hardware would continue to work with reply's

an expansion slot), an 80287 math co-processor, an i/o card with
2 serial and 1 parallel, and a 120 mb hard drive.

can someone post reply's address/telephone number?  i can't seem

i'll try to obtain some more info from reply and post.

have a safe and wonderful holiday!

It should work, but don't take my word for it.  I have the same problem
you do.  I have a PS/2 70-A21 w/ an 8MB expansion board, a SoundBlaster,
and an internal modem.  The modem is going (anyone want to buy it?)

I wonder if anyone makes a combo memory card/SCSI controller.

SCSI can get a little tricky, unless you get everything from the
same outfit; your initial bits--say a scsci dard drive may work
fine, but you may later have the devil of a time chaining on a
tape drive or CD rom.

One suggestion I followed was to get a SCSI adapter and 210 meg
hard disk replacement from Perisol Technologies; they guarantee
the ability to later connect a tape drive, cd rom, etc. from them

Some drives of this family have more jumpers (to the right), such as
Parity Disable. Usually you can ignore them.

There is no internal termination. If it is the last drive in the SCSI
chain, you have to use a separate termination connector which can be
plugged between the SCSI cable and the drive's SCSI connector.

These drives are great because they combine the best features of hard

drive letter gets assigned to the drive.  For example, if you have one

We are about to chuck an IBM PGD (Professional Graphics Display) into

monitor.    PGD/PGA was IBM's first stab at Analog display technology.
 
The pin in/outs of the PGD/PGA are very close to the VGA but not exact.
 
There's a correspondence of the red, green , blue and returns.
Where the PGA is composite sync, vga is horizontal sync, and
the mode control is where vert sync is.
 
Can a 15 pin to 9 pin converter be created?    The other pins on the
VGA not accounted for are the Monitor ID BITs (1,1,2) on pins 11,12 & 4.
 
Better yet, does anyone know of an outfit that has 'created' one of these
connectors and sells them?   It would be worth paying $50.00 for something
that works.
 
any help would be appreciated.  Please respond directly as I don't think

I recently ordered the XGA-2 video adapter for my aging 16 MHz
PS/2 Model 80.  The next step is a monitor to replace my old 8513.

The educational price for the 9515 is $551.  How does this monitor
stack up against the other (pricier) 14" and 15" monitors that are
often discussed here (e.g., ViewSonic, MAG, NEC) given that it will
be used with the XGA-2?  Ditto for the 9517 versus similarly sized
offerings from the other vendors.

Thanks for any comments.

Roger
