It should be available from cco.caltech.edu in the pub/apple2/utils section I
believe.  It should also be available from ftp.apple.com in the apple2/shrinkit

  It's not that difficult to make a video board map accesses to the
old SHR space to the VRAM on the board; in fact, one of the reasons _I_
want a video board for is to 1) do desktop publishing in, say, AWGS,
and have fonts come out the right size (they would, btw, by changing
the aspect ratio).  I also want multiple open shell and communications
windows open at once on the desktop.
  Okay, so I want to turn my GS into a UNIX workstation with a megapixel
display.  It's quite capable of it.

Just to piss me off.  This will be fixed.

Looks like I'll have to work on GScii+ again sooner than I thought.  Ok, new version should have the following changes:

1) Workaround for last segment SciiBin encoding bug.
2) No more useage of line mode (even though this is fixed in 6.0.1).
3) Default speed will be all the way up.
4) Squished auxtype bug and generally re-written Prodos8 <> GS/OS FileInfo conversions

Allow me a minute to climb up on a soapbox, but I have been slightly upset
at Ian Schmidt's posting (not upset at Ian, but upset by what he said). In
my humble opinion, I really like Ian Schmidt's contribution to the Apple
IIGS community, and I'm upset that he got flames from people, and is now
considering programming the 486.

In a lot of ways, when I got hit with a bunch of flames a month or two ago,
I had similar feelings. My first thoughts were "screw you". And, that's
apparently what Ian was feeling too.

Now get this. Our world is too small for anyone to be spreading ill-will.
There's no need for flames and other assorted hate mail, and they are
actually quite destructive. We need Ian Schmidt to remain in our ommunity,
and I'd like to suggest that who ever sent him flames to immediately send
him an apology.

If I wanted to, and I don't because it would be too depressing, I could post
a long list of companies and individuals who have abandoned the Apple II. In
ase none of you realized, we are not the healthy community we were 5 years
ago. There's some great new software and hardware coming out, but with no
where near the frequency that it did a few years ago.

By sending flames and hate mail, you are doing as much harm to the II
community as John Sculley. Think about that one for a while.

As my mother used to say..."If you don;t have anything nice to say, don't
say anything at all". I'll go when better. When you are writing to someone
who has had a positive influence in the II world, you better thank them for
their contributions. If you're going to send a flame...DON'T.

My experiences with the SupraFaxModem V.32bis are similar to yours. When
Ananke first got his, I called his BBS and the modems had to renegotiate
handshaking numerous times to get a good 14.4Kbps connection. Sometimes it
wouldn't even connect at all. He now has the 1.2j ROMs and my connection
troubles with him remain.

I also called Joshie's BBS and the first time we retrained to 12Kbps and
ultimately disconnected. My second call was successful, though. In my
travels, I find this VERY unusual modem behavior as my USR Dual Standard
has had ZERO problems connecting with every other high-speed modem out
there EXCEPT Supras <shrug>.

Based on my experiences, when someone asks me for a recommendation on an
inexpensive high-speed modem, I suggest they purchase a Digicom Scout Plus.
It is a nice little modem, not the same level of functionality as a USR or
a ZyXEL, but for basic v.32bis work it's more than satisfactory.

(Wanders off mumbling something about you want to program a Scout Plus
driver? <grinsky>)

Be seeing you...

I'm thinking about buying the ZipGS 7 Mhz 8K cache from TMS for 138.95.
Does anyone know if there are any problems with using this card on the
following system:
 
- ROM 01 GS
- Apple Hi speed SCSI card (rev B I think)
- AE GS Ram Plus (w/ 2 Megs)
- System 6.0
- Using mostly AWGS and Proterm 3.0
 
Also, I'd like to know if this card can be easily (and cheaply??)
beefed up when I want to.  I can't see spending $50 more right now
for 1 more Megahertz and 8K more cache.
 
Lastly, is TMS an OK place to buy from?
 
Enough of this 2.8 Mhz crap.  35 mins. to print out 5 pages from
AWGS database is ridiculous!!

that environment.(No the older versions later then v2.0 did not make
ProDOS 16 calls)

     Well anyway, I would like testers for the next version.  I would

Early versions of the GS System Software had an 8 bit Chooser program and an 8
bit Namer program. If you keep old versions of system software around check
there. I'm pretty sure that this was in System 4.0 and earlier and not in
System 5.0 and later.
