	Hello everyone,

	Has anyone NFS mounted a volume on an AppleShare server and then
published it so that others with AppleShare can access it?  Catch my drift?
In this way other users with AppleShare can access the NFS drive via the
AppleShare server, and if everything is Ethernet-ed the speed might be
acceptable.

	On a similar note, has anyone used file sharing with System 7 to
publish an NFS mounted volume?

Subject:    IIsi and 24/32 bit addressing

Hello....
     I recently purchased more RAM for my IIsi to bring me up to 9Mb
total RAM.  I have a bunch of software that only works with 24bit addressing,
so I cannot take advantage of the extra Mb.  Can I use this extra Mb in
any way?  If I specify a large disk cache, will that be taken from the
addressable 8Mb or the unused 1Mb?  What about the memory reserved for my
on-board video?  Where will that be located?  And finally, are there any
PD/Shareware RAMDisk programs out there that will work with System 7.0.1
(tuned) and a IIsi?


Thanks a bunch,
Christopher Cole

Hi,

I have a friend with a 512K (not a 512K E) Mac who has the question:

  Is there a utility of some sort that will allow HFS Macs to format
  a floppy to an MFS format (400K or 800K)?

			or

  Is there a utility that will allow an MFS Mac to extract files from an
  HFS disk?

Either of these would make the exchange of files between his Mac and 
most other Mac's a much less painful process.  Thanks!

I just tried to install Apple's Internet Router on a Mac IIcx with System 7
and failed. I want to connect a LocalTalk network and an EtherTalk network.
I installed the router according to the System 7 instructions on the disk:
copying 4 files in the System Folder. In configured the router to get the 
Ethertalk zone information from a seed router and named the LocalTalk zone.
After rebooting and starting the router the Mac prompts for a reboot due
to a FPU error. After removing all inits (including TuneUp 1.0) now the Mac
hangs after heavy work on the disk for some seconds. When I reboot and disable
all inits (shift pressed) the router works.
So, what's the problem? What should I do?
Install a new system.
Install System 7.0.1.
Install TuneUp 1.1.1.
The Internet Router is a quite old piece of software. Is there a new router
under developement at Apple? I would suggest that Apple finds a new solution
for this routing problem which appears also when you have a EtherTalk network
and a LaserWriter. So I hope for TuneUp 1.2.

I respectfully disagree with this attitude.  We do immense good for
Apple Computer by using and testing their software for them.  The
electronic distribution of their software helps to secure market share
for their proprietary hardware and operating system.  

I personally find statements such as the one quoted above to be
offensive because they imply that people who believe Apple is less
than benificent are somehow misguided.

I believe Apple is far too litigious and repressive.
This is my opinion.

I'm trying to connect a LaserWriter IIg to the LocalTalk and the

to do this, but doesn't say how.  I've connected both cables and restarted

The zone names are not the same on both nets.  I understand that if they

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here?  The tranceiver has

This question is for a friend.  He manages a Macintosh lab at an university.
One of the problems he faces is that students come up to a Mac, plop in a disk,
then use command-e or the menu to eject the disk, while they still have files
or apps from that disk open.  When the next student comes along the system
does not let him put a floppy in.  The solution is to restart the machine,
which is a pain.

This problem does not occur if the user ejects the disk using the mouse.  So
the question is: is there any way to disable the eject option in the menu and
by using command-e?  Since I have limited understanding of the finder I was
hoping someone could answer it for me.  Perhaps resedit?  I looked at the
system file and finder file with resedit and could not find the Special menu
there.

thanks/Nikhil

p.s. why does dragging the floppy icon into the trash vs. using command-e have
different effects?

That's good. I haven't seen the "s" designated that way before. Here's
another possible reason: "s" for smaller or small? The IIsi is certainly
smaller than the IIci.

The PowerBook names sound kinda cool, but with all these numbers, Apple's

What is the obsession with FTP here? Larry Walker gave the information
that ANYONE can use to get a FREE copy of the drivers. It can't be because
people are in a hurry, because the drivers aren't shipping yet, and if
you ordered them when you saw Larry's message, you would get them the

The "Quadra Init" (make your Mac sound like a Quadra on startup) claims

There is no INIT 31 in System 7.  Its function is now contained in boot 2.
There are now many more file types which are loadable on startup, 'scri'
among them.


To get back to the original question: you can prevent the disabling of
extensions through holding down the shift key by removing (or renumbering)
the dbex -16385 system resource.

Could this explain what I have been seeing on my new Quadra900 !! ?? 

I ran SpeedOmeter on it and noticed that I was only getting a pr of .53 on
my disk speed!!  I rebooted with "extensions off" and then disk pr was >1.8r

Great! I figured all I had to do was find the offending control pannel or
extension.  I ended up dragging ALL of them out of the system folder and
into a temp folder, but upon normal reboot, even though no icons showed up,
the speedometer results were back to about .5 again!! 

Argg!!  I reboot with shift key once again, and once again, the 
disk part of the performance test is back up to about 1.9!!  I cannot see
anything in my system folder that should cause this!!

Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening?d

That's really none of your business, but no, I didn't, because I

I'm told it's command k or f, tried 'em both - and nothing...
   How can I get an "older" version of postscript output? I simply want
to print9 text file, but it must be in postscript layout. Any ideas? I
basically have to downgrade my postscript. Are there any converters? Can
I use my system 6 laserwriter driver with system 7?

Does anyone know what the problem is with Tuneup 1.1?  In other words,
what bugs are in it such that Apple has recalled it?  (To fend off the

We're having a problem where trying to copy a file after Tuneup was

Quadra 700...

Also, what is required to uninstall the TuneUp?  Can we just drag the
TuneUp out of the Extensions folder, or did the Installer change any
System resources?

This is somewhat urgent, as it is now impossible to finder-copy files
from this machine...
