  Hi dear netters !

  I'm looking for High Resolution video card with a specific dimension
of : 1280x1024 pixels (either 8 bits or 24, 32 bits depth).
  Could someone give me the reference of such a card ? (Does it actually
exist ?)
  Please, answer me by email because I don't often read this newsgroup.

    Thanks.


(BTW, Merry christmas and Happy new Year to all)

Does it really work to attach an external drive to the switched
outlet?  Can you leave the drive's switch on all the time, and let the
switched power supply shut it off when you click shutdown on the
machine?  Is this safe for the drive?

It probably works, but in this case, they don't recommend it. If the  
system fails and the failure can be traced to the computer being on its

In a discussion a few months ago someone said that the Deskwriter was
designed to be able to print 60,000 pages but the Stylewriter was 
designed for only 3,000.  Does anyone know if the figures are accurate?  
I'd like to get the Stylewriter because of the small footprint. On the
other hand, if those numbers are true it sounds as if it's almost a 
disposable machine! What with drafts, copies, and other assorted junk
it wouldn't take too long to go through 3K sheets and thus, I assume,
wear out the printer.  The Deskwriter may be big and bulky but it seems
as though I'll get some milage out of it.  Anyone have any observations?

Mac Hardware Folk:

Some time ago I posted a request to this newsgroup for information about the
Quadra 700 and availiability of RAM/VRAM for it into the future, in response to
other postings about imminent demise of manufacturing facilities for these
chips. I've had no response, except for a mail message asking if I'd had any
response!

So once again, my question is "Will Quadra 700 RAM and VRAM upgrades continue
to be available widely, or should I upgrade now if I think I will ever want to
do so?

Merry Christmas 1992, and may 1993 be good to you!

Hi all, and happy new year !
    I did have the same problem as David: I wanted to get rid of the
circa 2800KB `hole' Apple left on my PowerBook 180's 120MB HD. It
seems like a *bad* idea, as any unpolite shutdown/restart did
corrupt my HD somewhat. It never was a serious problem (this seemed
more like a corrupted driver/volume info block) as I never lost
anything.
    The fix I used was to repartition my HD with the original setup.
I should have tried with a smaller `Apple_Free' partition, but I got
tired of reloading my files after each try.
    Has anyone an idea about what's happening ? Is the Apple_Free
partition really free ? Thanks in advance for any information, 
as I'm curious.

In fact, SCSI Parker sends a SCSI stop out to whatever drives support
it.  It's kind of spooky to have a 300Mbyte Priam full-high, which
normally shakes the table, spin down!  But this makes it mokre likely
that it's going to be properly stored for shipment...

It snaps in, with sort of a double-action mechanism.  I usually find
it easier to pull both it and the floppy bracket out at the same time,
rather than trying to release the strap.  There is one screw, also--
remove it first.

Just get a handset (not the cable that attaches to your phone but to the
handset) cable from your local store that carries phone cables... Much
cheaper.

Or make your own, just make sure to get the smaller connector(s) for the
handset and not the RJ-11 connectors...

I have a II and a IIx with a fried logic board. Is it possible to replace 
the 800k drive in the II with the superdrive from the IIx? 

Thanks
