    Actually, what you remove is the plastic housing that the HD and
Floppy drive rest in. But first you have to remove the power supply.
Then you can get to all of the SIMM slots, DRAM and VRAM.

I think this is justifiable, because such kind of document is new (it

The power supply and possibly monitor blew up on my mac plus.
I have the chance of purchasing a Mac128.  I have put the motherboard
in as a test, and it did power up.  I got the "please insert disk" icon.

Can the Mac128 power supply handle a 4MB mac plus board?
Are there any other repercussions that I've missed?

Actually, it is quite easy to set up an internal as an external. Once you have
purchased the case for it (hopefully with a power supplly), you will need a
set of internal to external SCSI cables (prices vary), and probably an
external terminator (although the last drive I converted works fine without
it).  Once you drive is out of the 'puter,look for the jumper pins that
control the SCSI ID (usually two rows of seven or eight pins).  Internal
drives are usually set to zero, so you will need to get a hold of a jumper and
put it onto a couple of the pins (one from each row of seven).  This will set
your id.  Do not forget to check the power cable from the power source to you
drive, for if they look different, you will need to purchase an adaptor
(verycheap, common) I hope this helps, I am no guru, but I have done this a
few times...

  We had a similar problem with a 45MB third party removable drive (from a
French assembler, but it's basically a syquest). We had exactly the same
problem with a Q950, and the message appeared randomly. We didn't have
any "offical" explanation neither from the manufacturer nor Apple. But i 
guess it's a problem of the SCSI bus (notice that the A900 & 950 have different
SCSI bus than other Macs ) which should be very sensitive to noise, and may 
interpret random noise signals as a signal comming from the drive saying 
"unredable disk" (such signals aren't interpreted when you diable the 
extension). Given that when you click on Eject the machine continues to
work well, and the drives reads and writes carts correctly, there's no need to
panic. I've just left it as it is, SCSI manipulation is a a sort of black magic
and sometimes a good prayer may be more helpful than tech support :-).

I've just done a speed comparison between the IINTX (16.7 MHz 68020, 2
MB) and IIg (25 MHz 68030, 8MB) printers, using PageMaker.  And guess
what, the IIg is about 30% slower.  Can anyone shed some light on this?

Also, if I use the Apple printer driver instead of the Aldus driver,
printing time can be halved on both these machines.

Date: Tue, 22 Dec 1992 05:06:14 GMT

In my previous post, I mentioned that I bought a used Mac SE.  On the 
front of the case below the disk drives it say Superdrive, which led me
to beleive that it had FDHD disk drives.  Anyway, when I stick in a HD 
disk, it asks me if I want to format the disk one sided or two sided, 
so I assume that the superdrives have been taken out.

My question is how can I tell if my SE has the proper ROMs and the
neccessary SWIM chip to use a superdrive?  How can I tell if the drives
I have are superdrives, and are not working properly?  How expensive is
it to buy a superdrive?

Thanks in advance for help. I have a 20MB IIcx running System 7.1
Mode32, etc. There are (4) 4x8 70ns SIMMs installed in Bank A,
and (4) 1x8 80 ns SIMMs in Bank B. I have 32bit addressing
turned ON, and virtual memory turned OFF.

Some of my applications (notably VersaTerm Pro 3.5) will crash the
machine with a bus error if I launch them directly (nothing else but
Finder in memory.) But if I launch a program that takes 16MB first,
then run VersaTerm, it works fine.

(I know I should upgrade VersaTerm Pro to latest version. It may be
that I need to, to fix this problem. Is there any reason why the first
16MB should be different then the 4MB that follow?) - Gary

Don't get the current Alpha implementation mixed up with the Alpha design
specifications. DEC just like Sun can easily produce a low-cost version of
the Alpha design, all be it with lower performance.

If they were installing an OverDrive CPU, it comes with a heat sink; if
they're simply doubling the speed of their MB--I doubt it'd work.

Passive heatsinks are available at any decent (read: non Shack)
electronics store.  Active ones, with fans, are avil. from PC Power &

The signals are certainly "standard", however the pinouts do differ between Xceed

The quick answer is "it depends..."

There are two hardware versions of the 8*24GC card and two ROM versions.

The original Rev A hardware with the original Rev A ROM will not support
16" monitors as it does not recognize the 16" sense codes.

If you put the Rev B ROM into a Rev A card, it will understand the sense
codes and support 16" monitors at 832 x 624 in up to 8 bits of color.

The Rev B hardware with the Rev B ROM can support the 16" monitor at
832 x 624 in up to 16 bits of color.  The Rev A hardware does not have
the proper D to A hardware for 16 bits of color.

If you set the sense lines to indicate at 21" monitor, any 8*24GC card will
support it at up to 8 bits per color.

Yup.  I mailed the author (I think--mailing from news is always a bit
screwy) and didn't get a response--probably on winter break.  

Someone must have submitted Classic II numbers for the Classic under 
System 7 numbers.  Besides, there's no way a Classic would be faster 
under System 7 than System 6, let alone as fast as a Classic II!!!
And, since the baseline (I think) for Speedometer is a Plus at 1.0
(or is it an SE or a Classic?), a Classic should be very close to 1.0.

Also, the Classic II is NOT half as fast as the SE/30 in the table, as
some people like to claim.  (Although, obviously Speedometer isn't going
to perfectly reflect everyone's potential workload--and the missing
PDS in the Classic II is still tragic.)  Assuming, that is, that the
numbers are relative to 1.0 for a Plus or whatever, and aren't logarithmic
or anything weird like that.

I wonder--were the Classic II numbers for machines with an FPU 
installed?  The FP/Math/whatever test for the Classic II seemed not
horrendously different than that for the SE/30 (which has an FPU).

Does anyone have anything good or bad to say about the Conner hard disk drives
that Mac Direct sells ("Conner, The drive that Apple uses" so says the ad).  I'm
looking to replace my clunky old Apple 20 meg.

Thanks.
