Works great for general note taking, communicating to bulletin boards,
simple DTP. Twice as fast as your Plus. Light enough to not be too much
of a bother. I sold mt PB170 as the 100 suited my needs better at less
cost.

Subject: best resolution for a 8.24 for a multi-sync monitor
Organization: National University of Singapore
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 1992 05:23:26 GMT

I have a Apple 8.24 video card which is driving my apple 21" grey-scale
monitor.  I recently got a MAG MX17 17" multi-sync that is capable
of 1280*1240 70hz Non-interlaced.  The monitor is analogue and has
a .26 dot-pitch.

Question:  if i connect the monitor to my 8.24 on my apple (the monitor
is not here yet, i don't know whether it can be done), what is the
best resolution and at how many colors will I get for the multi-sync
monitor.

Thanks

Date: Wed, 26 Aug 1992 20:28:17 -0500

Re: mystery tones
 
The startup chime a mac makes is a chord of several different notes played at
the same time.  The mac uses as an audible error message each of those
individual notes played singly and in other combinations.

There is a small utility program available from your local BBS called
"diagnostic sound sampler" that will play all the different error tones the mac
can produce and tell you what each of them mean.
 
It could be as simple as a ram simm that needs to be re-seated to as bad as a
serious motherboard problem.  The utility will help you narrow it down.

Dear Net BrainTrust,

I recently upgraded my RAM on my IIci. When I went in to remove
four 1 Mb simms from one of the banks to insert the new RAM,
I discovered something unusual about the old RAM. They were
not the usual SIMMS that I was expecting, but rather, they
only had 2 memory chips on each SIMM instead of the usual 8.
My question is, what is up this this type of SIMM. I have never
heard of nor seen them before. Any info would be welcomed.

This raises an interesting set of questions.  This isn't the first time I have
heard *Who needs that, I'm doing fine.*  I think I first heard that when
extolling the virtues of word processing vs typewriting.

The larger question is psychological in nature.  What is want vs. need.  Things
I never even knew existed 5 years ago are now so important I consider it
unimaginable to be without them.  Of course, if you want to take this *You don't
NEED that* argument to its extreme, you end up with a pop song *All I need is
the air that I breathe and to love you...*

To make this philosphical rambling pertinent to System 7.  It takes time to
plumb the depths of any new technology.  Publish and Subscribe, the modular
nature of upgrades, peer-peer filesharing, etc. have yet to become *necessities*
for many people, but it's early.  Sure, you can get by on earlier systems, but
you can't push the limits and explore what COULD be if you aren't willing to
change. Pardon the preachy tone, but if you don't like System 7, work with it
for a while, who knows one day you may go back to a machine running 6.0.x and
wonder how you ever managed :).

Hello,

I just purchased 4 4Mb SIMMs from The Chip Merchant to upgrade my
IIsi.  After installing the memory, the machine doesn't start -- I get
an interesting loud chime sequence from the speaker, and that's it.  I
assume I have 1 or more bad SIMMs, but I just wanted to verify that
there is no jumper or anything that I have to install or remove in the
IIsi.  I plan on having to return the memory to the Chip Merchant, and
I'll ask them to test the next batch before they send them out.

It's about a year since I added a 14" 8-bit monitor to my SE/30 and
I've never really come up with what I would call a "real" use for
the 9" screen.  Sometimes I remember to drag tool palettes or Word's
spelling window over to it but usually it sits there displaying a
blank desktop.

I thought it would be interesting to have some discussion on ways
to put this screen to GOOD use.  For example, perhaps I could get
my disk icons to show up there.  Does anyone know of a way to do
this while keeping the menu bar on the 14" monitor?  I don't mean
just drag them over there since they revert to the "menu" screen
each time they mount.

Anyone found good ways to use that 29 sq in of useful real-estate?
Perhaps I should consider letting it as advertising space!

I have a PowerCache 40 in my LC, and it really does work! The speedup is
especially noticeable in arcade games (Vette, MS Flight Simulator) where the
animation framing rate increases, making the games much more playable, and in
QuickTime movies, where it doesn't have to skip frames to keep up.

With the accelerator, my LC feels much faster than the IIcx I use at work.
To put numbers on the comparison, I ran Speedometer 3.06 on my accelerated
home LC and my work IIcx. The IIcx's P.R. rating is 3.82, and the PowerCache
40 LC is 8.63 (higher numbers are better). The IIcx's Benchmark average is
4.90 vs. 10.04 for the LC.

Are you sure HP still offers the upgrade?  An HP techie that I talked to

that they were coming out with a new product in the fall and hinted that 
the B&W DW would have some upgrade offer related to the new product.

Followup-To: comp.sys.mac.hardware
Organization: Personal


Background:
    Home system:  4 Mb Ke, 128 roms (B/C), Dove SCSI.
    School Labs:  5 Mb IIcx.

    HDa:  Seagate 277N (0) in a Tulane A-hive case, Jumpered to ID 6.
    HDb:  Quantum 280, in the same case (time swapped). Jumpered to ID 5.
    FWB software's HDT primer v1 was used to format and partition 
    both drives. (4:1 interleave on the Quantum)


History:
    The Seagate was bought 'new' (fire sale, no warantee, but new), 
    and has given yeoman service for 2.5 years, and is schlepped 
    regularly from home to school and back.  Unfortunatly it is 
    fuller than full.

    The Q was a gift from a sympathetic colleague, and gave him some 
    2+ years of goodly service.

    The Q was formated, partitioned, and loaded (from the Seagate) 
    on a freinds IIci, and was then used successfully on 2 other 
    IIcx systems, and the Home system.


Problem statement:

After some much needed sleep, I woke up and attempted to use the home
system.  Mind you, I had been using it the night before, and it was still
plugged up.

Wouldnt boot cleanly, got various address/bus/no coprossesor errors while
doing the init31 load or just prior to it.  This is a repeatable, every
time problem.

Was only able to boot via floppy, at which point the drive works like it
oughta.  Thinking the system (6.0.7) had become corupted in some strange
and wonderfull way, I switched to my alternative KanjiTalk 6.0.7, also on
the same disk (and deblessed BTW).  Same story, but with japanese dialogs
:-).

Ok, maybe its some timeing thing, says I, and out comes the US system 6.0.7
installation disks.  This time I put the system on the outermost partition
(as it had been on the seagate).  Same story.

I am now using the same disk on a lab IIcx, with no problems.

So - cant be the HDT SCSI driver, or the system, or the cableing, unless
some aspect of that is different for plusses, AND that aspect got broken
over night while I slept :-o

I probably should take the home-machine cludge out back and shoot it, but I
think my arrows need retipping for that, so I wont.

Any Ideas would be much appreciated, email or post.

There would be no problem. Just be sure to formatt the disk with the correct
interleave for the Plus. If you get a Quantum disk that has a built in Cache,
You won't even have to worry about the interleave these disks will take care of
it automatically.

Well, most current CD-ROM drives can't handle the Photo-CD format, but
Photo-CD compatible drives will, of course, be compatible with existing

the Photo-CD format, though.
