Contact Radius directly for advice. Accelerator software is out of date
almost certainly. I can't state whether your accelerator will ever work
with System 7, but Radius can.

I found that an accelerator I installed on an SE worked better with System 7
than it did with System 6.0.8. The handling of sounds was causing system
crashes under System 6.0.8. The solution was to leave the volume OFF (6.0.8)
or use System 7. I chose System 7 for file sharing compatibility needed in
the near future.

I doubt you'll see a 68050.  
You'll see a 68060.

Odd numbered chip revs are intended for maturing the architecture.
People are telling Motorola to skip the '050, and head on to the '060.

My source, which we will can Mr. X, has said that Motorola is doing just
that.

A IIa is a VGA Multisync Monitor (nominall 640x480).  It is much WORSE than

If you WANT to use stone-age software, then the Mac is not only overpriced,
it's not even an option.  On the other hand, if you recognize that the
operating system and application software is a very REAL part of the
equation, and realize that the higher price of Mac software subsidizes the
development and maintenance of the BEST user interface in the world, bar

I've had my 170 for about 5 months now without a single problem of any kind.
It's most definitely the best computer I've ever had (most reliable and

My only beef would be with Apple's internal modem...it was bundled so I

Actually, an undocumented bonus feature of QuickTime 1.5 is that when it is
installed QuickDraw does do dithering from 32-bit/pixel sources to
16-bit/pixel destinations. QuickTime 1.5 also does this dithering itself
when decompressing still images (or movies played in high accuracy mode) to

My understanding is this is true for 4MB PAL SIMMs in Bank B.  With 1MB
SIMMs in Bank A, this takes you to 20MB.  If you also want 4MB PAL SIMMs in
Bank A (to go to 32MB) then the SuperDrive Upgrade's IIx ROM is required.

I believe MacWeek had a story on this -- I seem to remember them saying that
the U.S. concluded South Koreans were dumping memory chips below cost, so
that some penalties were applied, and the price of 1Mb SIMM went from $29 up
to $49.  My memory could be hazy, since I do not have the article in front
of me, but in essence the price rise involves trade dispute over dumping.

With the cancellation of the Quadra 700, does this mean that the IIci

You're correct, the bus is 32 bits and everything except the CPU, FPU, and
cache are 16 MHz.

But, being 16 bits wouldn't limit addressable memory.  This is the data bus
-- the address bus is separate.

Also:

- The new "14-inch" model is 50% brighter than the old "13-inch" model
- The new model consumes 32% less power
- The new model meets the Swedish emissions requirements (as did the old
model, but only those made in the last year or so)

As to the monitor's size, it's actually the same size as the previous
model.  Quoting an Apple product briefing:  "Competitive displays of
equivalent size and picture area are advertised as 14-inch displays.
Rather than fight what has become a standard industry practice, Apple has
decided to use the same criteria [measuring the picture tube rather than
the actually-used display area] to measure its new display."

This is part of a particulary insidious copy protection scheme. Some
application on your Macs requires the EVE key and INIT to be present to
run.

Fortunately, most Mac software developers have gotten a clue and don't use
the damn thing. Copy protection is bad enough, perhaps even a necessary
evil, but HARDWARE copy protection is ridiculous. Any software developer
that uses HARDWARE copy protection on mass-market applications deserves to
go out of business. The *only* place I find it even marginally acceptable
is with custom developed vertical market applications, and even then I'm
not so sure...

I recently purchased a PB 160 40/4 (delivered in 2 weeks BTW)
and last night tried to use it with a NEC CDR-77, an older
model CD-ROM.  The PB would not boot with the NEC attached, it
seemed like some sort of SCSI problem so I tried changing the
address of the NEC from 1 to 4 to 6 and this didn`t work.  I
tried putting a terminator on the NEC and the machine started
to boot giving me a error message saying obus errorn and
oreboot holding down the space bar to eliminate extensionsn
when I did this the same error message came up!  This has me
puzzled because the NEC works fine without a terminator on a
plain old MAC IIcx and the SCSI cable I`m using on the PB works
fine on a friend's external hard drive.
Someone said this could be a SCSI-2 problem because NEC's are
incompatable with SCSI-2.  Is this my problem? Does the
powerbook use SCSI-2?

does anyone have a current price list of the new macs available
from either BMUG or MacWarehouse ??

I'm transferring to the US next year and want to know if i should
buy here or there..

BTW what's the student discount situation??

Thanks in advance
