Macintosh Classic (remember them?) for sale:

4 mb RAM (with AE MacRAM Classic)
105 MB Quantum HD (I think it's the lps mech.)
System 6.0.8 (7.0.1 as well, although why you'd want to run it on a classic is,
              truthfully, beyond me!)
Bunches and bunches of freeware and shareware, if you're interested.  This is,
of course, all "free" anyway, so it's not REALLY included in the price of the
Mac.  None of the shareware will have been registered.


This Mac is just over a year old.  It is in (IMO) excellent condition.  It has
the standard keyboard (although one of the feet is broken off...the one injury
it's sustained in its life...) and the mouse (of course!).  I also have a very
nice black carry case for it, all the cables and manuals (even the original
box! Wow!) and so-on.

I am asking $1300, obo.  I want so much because I have kept in good condition,
and the drive is one honey of a drive; I've NEVER had ANY problems with it;
it's fast and *QUIET*!  I figure it alone is worth $450...8^)  No reasonable
offer will be refused, and if I'm asking too much (or, God help me, too little)
please email me and let me know.  I'm willing to work with you...

I also have an old Apple 2 system (2 5.25" drives, colour monitor, 128k

Having never succeeded in getting Quick Link II Fax[tm] to fax anything
(which admittedly might be the fault of my Zoom faxmodem), and having
just watched QL II rave on the modem for a full minute (before I shut
off power to the modem) and spew all sorts of crap into my Unix session
while trying to Paste 20 characters, I have had enough.

I would like to find a good communications program that will allow me to
do at least the following:
1) Auto-logon to a remote Unix system with a terminal emulator, either
via scripting or via learning my login sequence
2) Transfer cleartext and binary files via modem, esp. via X/Y/Zmodem.
3) Some sort of convert or print to fax capability; nothing fancy; and
good reliable control of a fax modem

That's all I want. Freeware is nice, shareware is nice, and I'm willing
to pay more than shareware prices if I can get what I want. The only
thing I've seen so far is Microphone II, and it seems a bit much for
my needs.

Thanks for any constructive suggestions,

If seems to me that there nothing really irreversably worng with it.  It 
seems that it is overheating, which stuffs up the regulator and way cut 
power to itself for a while or stop working, stuffing up the input to the 
chips.  I'm not sure, but this type of thing happened to me too, it turned 
out that by connecting some sort of heat sink (anything which takes away 
heat) to the component getting hot, helps.  This doesn't SOLVE the problem 
as such, but may provide a way around it.  In my case, I connected it to the 
case (metal) so that was fine, if you can't do this, you may wish to look 
into buying a little heat sink for it, the ones with the cooling fins, if 
you have enough room in the case that is!

The real problem is that the regulator or whatever it is, is having to 
decrease the voltage too much, in which case your power supply might be 
giving out oo much voltage, you could look into that too...

Just some suggestions.

The Classic II ROMs are crippled so that they can only access 10Megs of
physical (true RAM) memory (8 Megs under 24 bit addressing, 10 under 32
bit). You can access more using 32bit addressing and virtual memory,
but that memory is all on hard disk and is really slow compared to real
RAM. There is no way that the Classic II can ever use more than 10 Megs
of real RAM, unless Apple offers a ROM upgrade (ps. Apple has never
offered a ROM upgrade for any of its computers except for the 128K and
512K).

 I do not think that the 512K VRAM SLOWS the computer down at ALL! The whole
idea behind a separate VRAM is that it does NOT intrude on the RAM that you have
installed to deal with applications! Unless you haave some knowledge that no one
else in the Mac world has....I think you're coming up Short on the facts.

Here is some info from MacWeek:

PowerBook 160 : 25MHz 68030, 4bit greyscale backlit supertwist screen,
video out (8bit colour on 13" Monitor). No Math CoPro. Expected to be
around the price that the 145 now holds.

PowerBook 180 : 33MHz 68030, 4bit greyscale backlit active matrix, video
out (8bit colour on a 16" display). Math CoPro. Around the price of a 
170.

The 160 and 180 can both act as an external hard drive when cabled to
another Mac (Like the 100).

Minimum 4Mb configuration, expandable to 14Mb (wonder what the SIMM bays
would be like?). 80Mb and 120Mb hard drives will come with the 160 and
180.

Prices of the models are expected to range from $2600 to $3500 depending
on configuration.

Wait till the 160 and 180 come out on October 19th, much better value
than the 145 (which may be dropped or lowered in cost in October).
Im gonna get one myself...

Almost the same thing happened to me Saturday. I got a system crash, rebooted,
had it crash during the startup sequence, and then I was unable to boot from
the HD or from a floppy. Instead, I got a slow 4-note musical scale, which
I am told is a diagnostic sound indicating that something is seriously
wrong!

I paged through Larry Pina's "Dead Mac Scrolls" and learned that the 
problem may be simply a dust-short on the logic board. So I bought a
dust sprayer at Radio Shack, opened the case, and sprayed everything.
That didn't work -- still got the 4-note scale.

I also tried disconnecting everything from the CPU - external HD, printer,
modem, video card. Still broke. At the suggestion of a technician, I
tried removing some of the RAM SIMMS (making sure I still had a legal
arrangement - all of bank A should be full of the same kind of SIMMS)
and then removing the other SIMMS and restoring the ones I removed 
first. The idea is that this problem is sometimes caused by a bad SIMM.
(Since I have 4x1Mb SIMMS and 4x256k, I first put all the 1Mb ones in
bank A and tried a restart, then put all the 256k ones in bank A and
tried again.) No dice.

So I dropped it off at the shop. Sure hope it doesn't cost much!!!!!!

I have a Personal Laserwriter LS.  I've found that when printing on legal-
sized paper from MS Word 4.0 (I don't remember which letter, but a late
one, and I'm using the truetype init patch they provide), I commonly lose
a border around the edges which seems to correspond to the business of the
items being printed.  That is, it can be up to about 1" around, taking off
several letters on each side (or parts thereof).  I'm also seeing the same
thing using MS Works, but it takes a much busier document.

1)  I assume that I'm running out of printer memory.  Is this reasonable?
I just have whatever the thing comes with.  What kind of memory does it
take to upgrade it?  Can I do it?

2)  Or am I missing something?  Like setting borders wrong?
