And, I have an external 800K Apple drive that I'd like $50 for, including
UPS ground in the continental US.

Make an offer.

Drive works great, has cable for Mac+ (probably fits all Mac's but I haven't
checked).  I haven't needed it since I got a hard-drive.

Well, this may just interest someone! I have a Mac IIsi and I need
extra slot space more than I need the extra speed, so I'm prepared
to swap it for a much older, slower but physically bigger Mac II
(though I will miss the built in microphone...)

So, if anyone was thinking of upgrading one of these with a 68030
accelerator card to get all those nice '030 features, maybe this swap
will suit them instead.

If you are interested, then Email me and I'm sure we can work something

From: gkean@ccu1.aukuni.ac.nz (Graham Kean)
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 1992 03:49:26 GMT
Organization: University of Auckland, New Zealand.
Keywords: menu,icon,application,launch
Summary: Need program to present a set of applications in a panel of icons

I administer a network which includes a number of Macintoshes.  The
network software is actually Novell 3.11 with Netware-for-Mac 3.01, but
the Macs `see' it as AppleShare, so this request should be fairly
general, if perhaps a little `un-Macintosh-like'.

What I am looking for is a program which will present to the user a
`panel' of application icons, thus removing the necessity to search out
the particular folder containing the applications themselves.  I would
like this `menu' program to be configurable so as to know where to find
the user's home folder on the network drive and make this the current
location before launching the application.

Yes, I know about System-7 aliases, and the System-6 trick of shifting
the icon onto the main desktop.  Neither of these are a satisfactory
solution, as we have a mix of systems 6 & 7.

The real problem I am trying to avoid is that some of the apps assume
write access to the default folder, which ends up being the application's
(network) folder, which I would rather not have users writing to.

I am in the market for a used HP DeskWriter. The price for a NEW one here
at UT is $335, so obviously I am looking for something for considerably 
less than that (since it is used, and at least part of the warranty has
expired). The price I am willing to pay depends on the condition of the
DeskWriter, and the amount of warranty left.

If you have one you are trying to sell, please let me know.

Don't the common Mac word processors have macro languages to allow you
to add extra functions?

Not that I much care for those, since using them you're basically back
to BASIC - interpreted language, no debugging, and, of course, sloooow!

Hello to all,

I am interested in the opinions on the following video cards for a Mac CI.
I have not been able to find any video reports, so my understanding of these
cards below are based on ads in the US Mac mags .

SuperMac 8 series 3	accelerated 8 bit can be upgrade to 24 bit

RasterOps 8XLi		accelerated 8 bit can be upgrade to 24 bit

Radius 8x		accelerated 8 bit can be upgrade to 24 bit

RasterOps 8XL		accelerated 8 bit non-upgradeable
Is there an equivalent to this made by Radius and/or SuperMac.

My reasons for the interest is that there are vast price differences in the
8 bit upgradeble cards between the various manufacturers eg. like double.

I really don't need 24 bit, so a accelerated 8 bit card(upgradeble or not) would
suffice, but again which one.

Any information would be appreciated.

It makes a great dedicated 400k disk formatter, if you can still get
disks in or out of the thing. 

You can sell it to your future in-laws, like I did mine. This is good

on how to turn a 128k into a working fish tank.  If you're interested,
I'll post/email it to you.

Other than that, it keeps the door open nicely, and keeps the cat off
the keyboard (when strategically placed on the cat, of course ;-)).

First, you can see if the tune up is already installed by choosing
About This Macintosh from the Apple menu. If you see a dot after
the system number (7.0 %) then tune up is installed.

Secondly, the disappearing folder problem was reported on
Mac Quadras and not PB.

Lastly, a slow chip/laptop!? Thats pretty stupid to say when there are
many 8086 laptops out there.
