Does anyone have experience using a Powerbook on an Ethernet network?
I vaguely remember that a couple of years ago I read here several posts filled
with hate and disgust over the external boxes that attempted to let you use
Ethernet via a Mac's SCSI port.  These boxes were originally intended for the
Mac Plus machines which didn't have any kind of internal slot.  I see the 
boxes are still around (presumably around revision 3.01 of driver software by
now).  Has anyone actually used a Powerbook on an Ethernet network?  What
kind of hardware was required, and what was your performance like?  Any
severe driver problems or incompatibility with anything?

Thanks,

Bill

A little while ago a rumour was floating around that PB 140's were upgraded to
PB 145's if their motherboards needed replacement.  Well, that's not true.
Whatever chip is responsible for sound amplification blew in my PB 140, so I
sent it in, since it was still under warrantee.  Well, I got it back a week and
a half later, with a brand new PB 140 motherboard.  I was somewhat dissapointed.

Subject: Printer Footprints
Organization: Motorola
Date: 21 Dec 1992 17:25:23 MST


I was just getting ready to order a Stylewriter to go with my PB160.
But my source of Apple hardware (I go through my company's channels
to get a good discount) is out of Stylewriters and doubt they will get
any more of the current models in stock in anticipation of the new
products coming early next year.

They suggested I could get the HP Deskwriter instead; better performance
for $60 more.  In my case I don't *need* the better performance but its
OK; but what's also important to me is the machine "footprint".  (How
much space it occupies on the shelf or desk top.)  I live in Japan and
houses are smaller . . .  :(

QUESTIONS:

1) How do the Stylewriter and DeskWriter footprints compare?  My under-
   standing is that the Deskwriter is bigger but how much bigger?

2) Are any of you familiar with a new printer Apple is coming out with
   next year to replace the Stylewriter?  How will it compare in price,
   performance, and footprint?

3) Any additional comments on the relative merits/demerits of these
   printers?

Replies by either POST or EMAIL are OK.  Thanks and have a

             MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Myt Xceed has also been GREAT. The only problem is that there was a little

StyleWriter? I'm considering the purchase of one. Laser printers and
PostScript are beyond my budget, but business-quality printouts
are an important feature. The StyleWriter seems to offer good
image quality for a reasonable price, but the stories I've heard
about its slowness make me wonder. Just how long does it take to
print a double-spaced, single-font (TrueType) page? My daily
volume will be *quite* low -- occasionally 20 pages in a day,
usually 4 or 5 pages per day.
 I would welcome any thoughts you might have about the StyleWriter,
as well as any recommendations for a good printer under $500.

Hi Everybody!

I'm wondering if anybody else has had the same problems as I have had
with
APDA#M0991LL/B, "Mac IIsi, LC, & Classic Developers Notes." Recently I
ordered and received a copy; when it came, I discovered that pages
30-49 of 
the LC section were MISSING. So I contacted APDA and they promptly sent
me a 
new copy --- which turned out to have the SAME PROBLEM!!! I'm now
chasing
them down again... 

I've noticed that there was a /A version, and now they're on the /B.
Perhaps
the problem is related to the "publishing" of this section edition.

Something else which bugs me --- I spend $25 for a book, and end up
with 
3/8" of xeroxed pages, of only moderate quality. YUCK! Is this typical
of 
APDA???

Happy Holidays!

You'll end up paying about $70 for the Apple battery.

I and others have been complaining about this for a while now. I even encourage
people to call those companies that sell PB140/170, etc batteries and ask them
when they will have one for the PB100. As it stands now, no one is making one.
The usual excuse given is that the PB100 is obsolete. Well so is the SE, but
I sure do see several companies making wads of dough selling SE upgrades.

Actually this should work on any Mac video board to monitor because all the
connections between monitor and board should be standard.  Else monitors 
would be board specific.  The person I got this from used it to wire a Quadra
to a VGA monitor.  The previously posted pinout will give you a 640 x 400 with

I don't think that the floppy drive has any limitations that

I want a _AC Adapter_ in my PowerBook!  Including the wire.  And as
small and light as possible, please!

I have a Supra V32bis fax running with my IIsi running at 25 MHz and
have experienced no problems with modeming or faxing.  Perhaps this
backs up the point that the IIsi is basically a crippled IIci??
Overall, I have had no problems since my upgrade (2 months ago).
