Keywords: Help

I currently have a Jasmine DirectDrive portable external hard disk and
I am going crazy trying to get the thing to work consistently.  If you
have one of these things or if you know anything about how to get it
to work properly please read on.

The problem is that the hard drive does not always mount when the computer
is turned on.  If there are more than one partitions, it will mount all but
the boot partition always, but it is about 50/50 odds that it will mount the
boot partition.  When it doesn't mount, I can get it to mount sometimes by
using the software which comes with the hard drive, but this only works for
a while and even then it can take a half-hour to mount it.  If I can't get
it to mount, the only way I can get it to work is to re-format it.  I have
been having this problem for over a year sporatically, but since Jasmine is
out of business, the only tech help I have been able to get is a suggestion
by another vendor that I should try purchasing other drive software.  Do
you think this will work?  I am just about ready to toss the drive in the
garbage, but I don't have the money to replace it so for now I am stuck so 
any help would be appreciated.

Please email to jmc20392@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu your followups unless you think
that they will be of interest to the rest of the group.

Has anyone here tried recording sounds through a MacRecorder with a 
PowerBook 100?  Do you get good results?

I'm using the MacRecorder Driver 1.0.2 and SoundEdit 2.0.5 and having
problems... there is a fast clicking (slow buzzing) noise in the
background of any sound I record.  I'd like to find out if this is
a software incompatibility or a hardware problem.

I've used the same software and MacRecorder on an SE with no troubles.

Thanks for your replies,

X-UserAgent: Nuntius v1.1a2Lines: 28

If all of this is in a FAQ somewhere, please point me to it!!!

I'm contemplating buying a IIsi, and I'm a little confused about
expansion options. My crude unterstanding is that there is an
interface on the IIsi (call it "Slot X") that accepts a daughterboard
that will in turn accept either a PDS card or a NuBus card. Other
vendors also have boards that fit in Slot X that provide for more
than one board, cache, FPU, etc.

I'm reading that it's probably desireable to have a video card in
order to free up the IIsi's memory and CPU for better performance.
Has anyone compared the performance of built-in video with that
of old, cheap, lame, 4-bit cards like the Toby frame buffer card?

If any external video is better than built-in video, then I want to
use a NuBus video card as described above. What are my options for
Nubus expansion of the IIsi. Are there Slot X cards that provide more
than one Nubus slot, or a NuBus and a PDS slot?

Who vends Slot X to Nubus adapters? Just Apple?

What's the diff between a PDS slot and an SE/30 slot? Any?

If all of the decent Slot X adapter cards provide PDS (and not NuBus),
what are my options in the realm of 4 and 8 bit PDS video cards?


Thanks for any info.

AHA-- there's the tipoff.  Listen carefully to your machine, and I
suspect you'll find the drive is not running-- it suffers from
stiction,  the heads are stuck to the platters.  The only permanent
solution is to replace the disk.  A temporary solution is to leave the
drive on, once you have started it.  A stuck drive can often be
started by rapping the side of the SE/30 near the drive with the binding
of a paperback or your hand, just as you turn the machine on.

I notice tiny dots of ink splatter around the characters on output from my new
Deskwriter.  (Using a good magnifying glass).  This seems to happen
with a variety of papers.  The overall effect is a smudginess.  This
is *not* spread of ink through paper fibers -- these are distinct

print head travel.

Hey all. We run a small lab of diverse machines, and maintain a log of all
problems/bugs/annoyances we encounter. At present the log is on paper,
maintained by hand. We've toyed with the idea of getting a low-end PowerBook
for use as a dedicated electronic bug log. But of course the data in the
log is vital, thus my question: is it possible to have 2 hard drives connected
to a PowerBook so that one mirrors the other? Short of that, are there any
backup programs that can be configured to automatically back up the PB's
data to another machine (not necessarily a Mac) on a net, on a daily basis?

Responses by E-mail please, and I'll summarize if there's interest.

My guess is either bad VRAM or they aren't installed properly (maybe
loose or not seated correctly).

I rented a Q700 for the MacWorld Expo and ordered it with a full compliment
of VRAM so I could show 24-bit color at the show.

Boy was I upset when it only gave me 8-bit color.  It didn't matter
if it was hooked up a 13" or a 16" monitor.  I took them out and
reinstalled them - no luck.

Finally I got hold of two new VRAMs and started swapping.  I replaced
the first two, no luck.  Then the next two - that was it.  

So there are bad VRAMs out there.  I'd try to borrow a couple of good
ones and try the swapping - if you are handy enough to do it your
self.  If not, have your local tech do it for a few bucks.

Good luck!

I think it is a bit deceptive myself.  I would expect there to be a 
"speech manager" available for "It can talk" to be true.  On the other
hand, you canplay back (and record with a 140/145/170) digital samples
which contain speech.  I think there is also a version of Macintalk
that was hacked for System 7 (and comes with Talking Moose?).

Does anyone have any comparisons of these two printers for the
Macintosh?  My current impressions are that the HP is slightly faster,
more heavy-duty, and slightly more expensive.  However, the TI
includes PostScript Level 2 and advanced bin-switching software for
the three paper bins (two paper and one envelope) that it can support.

Does the HP include bin-switching software for its two paper trays?
If not, will these bins work with the possible System 7.1
bin-switching stuff?  Does it have an optional envelope bin?  Finally,
can the HP be upgraded to PS Level 2?

Right now, I'm more in favor of the TI, but it may be that the HP is a
much better product.

Please post or email any comments or opinions you might have.  This
seems to be a close race, so I'll definitely post a complete summary.

  I guess this is the low cost Chyenne M7213 that Maxtor promised it'll have
a MTBF of 200.000 (yes, i know, don't get fooled about these numbers, but
you've got an idea about its reliability). It's as fast as the Quantom
drives, for $130 less (the low cost is due the use of less components in
the drive, which decreases the assembly time and increases the reliability).
I wonder if anyone will by 200MB drives from other manufacturers than Maxtor.
I think prices will drop drastically because of it, and not only for 200MB
HD's but also for 100MB, because many people may decide to pay extra $120
to get double capacity.

  The drive has 15ms access time, the same thing as the Quantum. It's the 
SCSI interface which is slower (SCSI I vs SCSI II), in all MAC's except 
Quadra, it doesn't matter because they have a SCSI I controller, and i
heard that Apple decided to stop integrating SCSI II for lake of standard.

They do have an installation disk image in the third-party area
