Hi folks,

I have had a PB 170 for about 10 months and am by now familiar with my
particular usage of the machine. Under normal circumstances I can
expect about 2.5 hours of battery life. I have two batteries and both
of these perform the same.

Recently I started using the Mac in my office while it is plugged in to
the AC adapter/charge (Apple standard part). Ever since I have kept it
charging/running all day, my battery life has dropped to about an hour
and I wonder if the battery is being "overcharged" by being kept in the
machine with the charger running all day. I don't think it is the
individual battery since the same effect is observed on both of my
batteries. If I totally discharge and then recharge the battery it
still only gives me about 1 hour of use.

Anyone know wht is going on? I have been told that it is not advisable
to run the PB 170 without a battery when it is plugged in.

Hi  netters:

I actually fixed the drive of the Lisa/2.  Thanks for all the replies.
I received none.  Anyway... I have yet another utter novice question.

Are those serial ports in the Lisa/2 normal vanilla RS-232 ports
that I can use a normal IBM 25D-25D cable to connect it to a printer
or a Modem or I have to buy an special one?????

Gil, I used a cable that you can buy for connecting the HP48SX to the Mac.
You can use the built-in comm program in the 95LX and ZTerm on the Mac to
transfer files w/Kermit. Worked fine for me. I don't own the 95LX anymore
but still have the cable if your friend is interested.

Subject: Microtek Scanner SCSI problem
Date: 2 Sep 92 04:06:30 GMT

I recently purchased a Microtek ScanMaker 600ZS flatbed color scanner.
When I first hooked it up, it registered only the first use.  Once I turned
the power off and came back later, it would not mount (I used SCSI Probe 3.4
to see if it was registered on the chain).  I was informed by a friend that
I needed a SCSI terminator on it, since it was the last device on the chain.
I went out and bought the terminator, and hooked it up.  I works fine.  MOST
of the time.  Sometimes when I turn the power off and then turn it back on
a minute later, neither the scanning software nor SCSI Probe will not register
the scanner.  Restarting the scanner and/or the computer does not help.  My 
only solution seems to be to wait an hour or two and then turn the scanner 
back on.  It's worked fine that way, except I don't always *have* an hour or 
two to wait.

System specifics:
	Mac IIci 20/240
	System 7.0.1, Tune-Up 1.0.1

SCSI IDs:
	0   Quantum Hard Disk [internally terminated]
	6   Microtek Scanner (when it works) [externally terminated]
	7   Mac IIci

Yes, I've checked to make sure the scanner software/hardware is configured for the right IDs.  I'm at a loss to what could be causing the problem.

Thanks in advace for any responses!

	This may be a FAQ, but I'm not sure. If so, then add my comments!

	My girlfriend has an Outbound 2030E, which I have used a fair bit. I 
have a Mac+, but will be moving up to a IIci-class machine soon. 
	Anyway, I like several things about the outbound - the expandability is
very nice. You can upgrade hard drives, memory, even the CPU, all relatively
easily; pop it open, slide out the right item and replace it. If you're 
considering starting with a low-power machine and moving up later, this is the 
best way, IMHO. 
	The price is generally better than the Powerbook, at least with the 
piss-poor offers the UH bookstore makes. 
	The Outbound battery is a regular camcorder battery, about 1/2 the 
price of the Apple battery. 
	BUT:

	The outbound screen is very succeptible to ghosting; I find that 
working on that machine drives me crazy after about 20 minutes. The PB170's
active matrix screen is *so* much better it's worth the price difference. My
thesis advisor has a PB170 that he had me set up for him (total compuphobe),
and I have to say I prefer it to the Outbound. The screen and keypad make the 
difference; the PB's have a wrist-rest below the keys, and the tracball under
the b/n keys. The Outbound has "standard laptop config. keyboard" which means
the bottom row of keys are at the forward edge of the machine - this twists 
my wrist painfully after about half an hour. Also, the outbound has a "roller
bar," which I find difficult to use. Debbie, on the other hand, said she 
had no problems after about 2 days of use. Go figure. 

	So in brief, I prefer the PB 170 over the similar-CPU Outbound, though
I haven't used a 140/5 or 100 at all. I'm still not entirely happy with the 
PowerBook; hope the new releases in October help that situation.

	Hope this helps.

	Clear Skies, 
		Kimo

In my quest to seek relief for my aching wrists, I've been looking
into the possibility of getting a Voice Navigator II for my Mac
SE/30 to relieve some of the mousing & typing I've been doing.  The
best price I've found so far is $549 at MacConnection.  Expensive,
but less than surgery.  But I haven't found any dealers in my area
who carry the item and can demo it for me (otherwise I would have
probably bought one from them), so I still have some questions.

Is the software for the Navigator System 7 savvy?  Is it possible to
use voice to trigger Apple Events, for example?

Is it possible for Navigator to trigger QuicKeys macros?

How much RAM does running the Navigator software require?  How much
disk space?

Is the Navigator limited to running menu commands, or some other
subset of Mac commands, or does it have fairly robust capabilities?

If anyone can answer these questions and also post their impressions
after using the product, I would appreciate it, and so would my
wrists.

Also there may be a capacitor that has gone bad. The pluses are notorious
for this
(Apple put an underrated cap in C1). The book refered to in an earlier post
has everything you need to know about repairing it yourself (I just did a
couple). 
Also there are some companies tucked away in the back of MacUser and
MacWorld that will exchange a board for pluses for about $50. (I don't
remember which ones though)  Good Luck

yes, but would she be unable to get along without them?  I take advantage of a

Wanting is not needing.  I suspect that if your wife were to sit herself down
at a System 6 machine, she'd do just fine.  There's nothing wrong with System
6.  All the hoopla about System 7 sounds like so much Newspeak (prior to May
1990:  "System 6.0.7 is the absolute pinnacle of Mac System software.  Anyone
using 6.0.5 is a dweeb.  6.0.7 is so great..."  Post-May 1990:  "Anyone using
6.0.7 is a dweeb.  System 6 is so useless.  System 7 is the only way to go. 
It runs on everything from the Mac Plus on up...." Yeah, it runs on machines
that were perfectly happy running System 5...).

Having the latest just for the sake of having the latest is not, IMHO,
necessarily a good way to live one's life.  (Many people _need_ the latest,
for whatever reason, but that's OK.)  There are many people who don't need
System 7 features, are getting along just fine without them.  A Mac Plus
running System 5 and Word 3.02 was more than adequate back then; is it any
less adequate for doing the same work today, just because System 7 and Word 5
0a are out now?  Nope.

Some time ago I wrote asking a similar question concerning a tune one of our
LC machines made on startup.

What confused a lot of people (including myself) was that the LC tune was very
different to tunes on older models and thus we could not identify it.

To cut a long story short, the tune indicated a SIMMS fault. I contacted
my dealer and played the tune down the phone (I had made a System 7 sound
file of it using a second LC to record it) and they said it was most likely
that there was a bad chip on one of the boards. Since they supplied the machine
they replaced the boards free of charge even though the LC was out of warranty.
(the SIMMS had a "lifetime" guarantee). Apple Centre Warrington UK; you get a
big kiss from me at least. The LC in question has since performed flawlesly
and is having the time of its life trying to size up with a Canon CLC 10.
<yes I know, we need to send in a Quadra to rescue it>.

If anyone has an LC playing a funny tune and they want to compare it to the
bad SIMMS tune I have, I can email a binhex of my System 7 sound file.
Maybe I should send it to Summex. Any ideas if Apple would object?
I don't want lawyers landing on my toes like a ton of bricks.

Andy Calder.

PS It could be that newer models use the same tune as the LC as well.
   Anyone know? I suspect the Classic II and LC II do.

Thanks in advance.

For those people around New York looking for a PB100 2/20, J&R music world had
them for $699 when I was there last week.  For whatever reason they didn't seem
to want to ship them so you had to get to the store to get it.
