I dunno either.  The si 5/80 goes for $2199 here and the 3/40 is $1833.
Perhaps he was thinking of the LCII 4/80.  That goes for $1397 around here...

Hi out there in net land!

	I have two 1 MB SIMM's for sale.  They were originally intended to go 
into a Mac LC.  These are original, never used, 80 ns, Apple brand SIMM's.
I am hoping to get $25 for each of them.  If you are interested in them,
please E-mail me.  I will ship them anyway you request (If sending them via
two day US mail is good enough for you then that's how I'd prefer to do it).

Now that Ehman has ceased operations, I've got a problem - I have an

was stolen, and the display card along with it.

Does anyone know where I can get an Ehman compatible video card for a IIci?
I've heard that Lapis manufactured a lot of Ehman stuff - anyone have a

Why?  

Is there any God-Ordained reason why the lead-time for a monthly must
be so much longer?  Yes, things can always conspire to be a week old
in even the most tightly run weekly and things can always conspire to
be a month old in the most tightly run monthly, and yes articles take
time to write and magazines take time to print and mail, but the
better part of a year???  This is the computer industry!  

Sure, shortening these times would cost money, but it also would be a
real service and buy a competitive edge.

Reply-To: jcav@midway.uchicago.edu
Organization: The Royal Society for Putting Things on Top of Other Things
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 1992 17:49:30 GMT

We have twenty or so Asante ethernet cards of various sorts in various Mac
models.  We've had no problems with these cards, since all the machines are
able to run the standard System 7 ethernet drivers.  I think Asante made an
excellent engineering decision to go for exact hardware compatibility with
the Apple cards, since this means I don't have to rely on Asante's own buggy
software.

HOWEVER, we also have an Asante SCSI ethernet adapter, used to connect a
PB170 to the network.  For this installation I am forced to use Asante's
software, since the sytem needs to be patched in order to route ethernet
traffic through the SCSI.  This product has locked up the PowerBook at random
intervals from Day 1, and I had had no luck with the suggestions from Asante
tech support.  Today the PowerBook locked up again, and the user was ready
have me rip out his network connection.  So I decided to try Asante one last
time, before beginning research on a replacement network interface.  To my
astonishment, the technician immediately offered to send me updated software
for free, via second-day air freight.  He even said that this system lockup
thing was a "known problem" with the version 1.25 software that we are
using.  We'll see if the update actually _does_ cure the problem, but I
couldn't reasonably expect more from a company than free replacement
software, no questions asked.

Hi,
My wife's new IISI with 12" RGB monitor has developed a problem with one pixel

Any ideas what the problem may be? I assume it's still under warrenty

and I'm sure it'll cost us some money somehow.

Thanks for any info.

not want to do this. It was explicitly stated that Radius

Does anybody have any more detailed info on that?

Organization: Ntl Center for Atmospheric Research, Atmospheric Chemistry

We have a bunch of Mac IIcx computers with the original 40MB Quantum disk
drives inside.  Looking inside, although there's another power connector,
there doesn't seem to be enough room to add another disk drive, at least
one of the same size.

Are there any half-height hard disk drives in the 80-120MB range that would
fit into the space left over in a Mac IIcx?  Are there any other places
inside of the cabinet into which a hard disk can be placed?  Because of
limited desk space and wanting to keep the systems self-contained, I
want to avoid purchasing an external disk.

Any useful advice or recommendations would be appreciated.

The Plus did not have ADB, all newer machines do (some only have one
port; the IIci and Quadras are the only currently shipping machines with
two ADB ports, but you could get Y-jacks, and the Apple 21" and 16"
color monitors have additional ports).

The PB100 has one external serial port and an internal modem port.  The
140 and 170 have two external serial ports, but you have to choose
between the internal modem and the external modem port at any given time.

Sigh, not again.  You don't *need* a hardware handshaking cable to hook your 
high speed modem to your mac.  I've read countless articles about people
getting frantic about not being able to find such a cable and wanting to
construct their own.  It is NOT necessary.  I was one of those people that
thought that you did need one, so I made one accorinding to the spec that 
I read in MacUser(Or was it the net? I don't remember) Anyways, after going
through the process of making this cable, I set it up and let it rip! And 
voila! Nothing! In my subsequent tests, I found that adding the HWH cable
had no affect whatsoever on the throughput of the modem.  In my tests, I
transfered many types of files(compressed, uncompressed text, apps, etc) over
a variety of line conditions(local, long distance(good and bad connections)). 
BTW, I'm using a USR dual standard modem with a Mac IIci.  About the only
useful thing the HWH cable did was a side affect of having the cable itself!
Since you need more pins then are available on the standard 9 pin serial
port to enable HWH, you must disable the DTR. What this means is that your
connection will still be maintained in case of a system error, reboot, quiting
the term program or whatever.

Man, Price Club is a lot more restrictive in your area than mine. I don't know

almost any Credit Union can join. Even if you belong to some health insurance
companies, you can join. I have never heard of a restriction that requires you
to own a company (I thought you only had to be an employee of a given company).

After all, I can't really imagine a sales outlet being TOO restrictive of who
they let in to buy from them.  BTW, there are some outlets that let non-members
buy things with only a 5% mark up (but, I never had any reason to ask if Price
Club is one of those).
