Sure. Use the Ramfast software to map something in a slot other than the one
the RamFast is in. You'll need to map every volume you want to use.

BTW, I believe that the MANUAL talks about it.

That won't help. It is only a supplement to the AppleShare server software
which adds stuff so you can boot Apple II's from the server.

System 7 filesharing does not support remote booting. Its purpose is to
share files with other machines running AppleShare, not to provide remote
booting services that less than 1% of System 7 users will use.

I agree with the recommendation to buy a cheap used hard drive. Install
AppleShare on that, and then there should be no problem accessing stuff on
the Mac (which may still be set up wrong, but the Mac installer should be
able to take care of that).

    With an 8-MHz Zip, I find the 35mm mode quite playable, although the
animation during the intro sequence lags behind the background music.  It
would be nice if the game could intelligently "stretch" out the background
music to keep in time with the action.

I saw an add for GEnie that gave intstructions on how to sign up for

call the number, and then enter HHH.  Then it's supposed to prompt you
for some input.  I've tried this several times on a cople of occasions
but I never get anything back after I type the HHH.  Could someone

Indeed.  MultiFinder is touted as multitasking but that's pushing it a bit;
without *pre-emptive* multitasking it's still just Super-Switcher.  As Scott
Anderson (I think) said, it's at the mercy of disk drive/SCSI/serial port/etc.
access, which is often VERY annoying (STUPID PROGRAM! I DIDN'T *REALLY* WANT
TO UNSTUFF THAT 20MB ARCHIVE!).

Oh well.

Apologies for getting off-subject.  Whatever you want to compare it to, 
Switch-It! still sounds cool.  A vast improvement over just plain Finder.

See Apple IIgs Technical Note #49, "Rebooting (Really)".  It gives
some code that resets tons of stuff (including interrupt sources)
before eventually jumping to $FA62 (that won't change on the GS,
but going through ($FFFC) is just as good).

    I had a similar problem with Proterm 3.0 and AppleWorks 3.0 when I
first started printing to the bubblejet through a ProGrappler card.  The
text screen would mess up, but nothing else was affected.  Your parallel
card might be echoing stuff back to the computer or setting softswitches it
shouldn't.  I solved the problem by setting the ProGrappler to
"transparent" mode.

Um, First question...HOW did he install AWGS 1.1? If he used the INSTALLER
that came with it he may have inadvertantly overwritten System 6.0 with parts
of System 5.02 (which is the way the AWGS installer script is written). This

Joe,
I think everyone admits that there are a few good articles in InCider/A+
every month.  Your articles are always read by me & I'm sure most of
the people who get the magazine.  BUT, there are definitely articles in
there that rub me the wrong way.  While I don't think I've ever flamed
IC/A+, I do find myself agreeing with a lot of what people say.  Probably
the best example of some biased _articles_ are the sample quotes within
the 'Sneak Preview' edition of II Alive.  I even went back to the referenced
articles to see if they were taken out of context; they were not.  If I
were still a student, I don't know if I would keep my subscription, but now
that I'm making real money, I consider it a semi-luxury to get IC/A+.  I
would miss you and some other writers, but I'd hope they'd contribute to
other magazines I do belong to.

Just an update on my situation with my //c....

I had previously "spiked" my PDL 0 input (but not the PDL 1) with 13 volts of
unfriendly external power, causing PDL 0 to read 0 OR 255 and nothing in
between.  I have since replaced the 556 chip and find that is not the problem.  
The only things left are a cappacitor, a resistor, and *sigh* the IOU.  This is
one of the three "biggie" chips; 40 pins, along with the CPU and MMU.  Does
anyone have a dead //c that they would mind pulling the IOU chip out of?  It is
one of only four chips on the board that is in a socket, and is not static
sensitive.  Any help or information would be greatly appreciated!

thanks!

later,
 Nathan
