    The 'freeze' compression utility for GNO makes .F files.  Really,
really s-l-o-o-o-o-o-w, but it packs files tight.  You can probably find it

All this VAMPS stuff/hype and several messages on comp.sys.amiga.audio,
got me thinking about surround sound, etc, etc.

One of the more interesting things I can across was changing the phase
of stereo sound samples to create a pseudo 'surround sound' effect.
(sheesh haven't we heard something like that before somewhere ;)

Basically, by changing the phase of one channel by 180 degrees, one can
'broaden' the sound stage.

You can try this yourself if you have an AudioAnimator with Version 1.2
or 1.3 of the AE software, just record a mono-sample, paste it to a
blank stereo-sample, and change the phase of 1 channel. You have to set
the effects channel option to 'Display channel only' for it to really
work.

I sampled a fairly long sample and changed the phase of a large chunk in
the middle of it, and there is a _noticeable_ difference.

(BTW try listening to the sound via the internal speaker: when you
listened to the modified chunk through it, the sound volume dramatically
fades out, since both the channels effectively cancel each other out
because of the opposing phases).

Anyway, a suggestion: would it be easy to implement this sorta thing in
a mod player or the next new way cool music program on the IIgs?

(Basically ensure that the phase of the left channel is opposite to the
right channel)

soniqTracker / ModZap with 'pseudo surround sound' would be neat :)

    Are you sure they haven't been put away (i.e., still on the drive, but
not on the desktop)?  I don't think Archiver backs up your Finder.Root
files unless you tell it to in Preferences.

> 5) Used many words that I should not have used.

    Heh heh.  :)  Tip... Since application files never (or rarely) change,
keep a separate backup on floppy (in addition to your originals, of
course).  That will save you a lot of disks swapping when you back up other
files on your drive.  I have about 19 megabytes of applications, plus
another 30 or so in games.  That's a lot of files I *don't* have to worry
about during each backup.

some force-sensing resistors ( also useful for VR stuff ) from Interlink

Carpinteria, CA 93013

2) hook it to the peripheral port so I can use more pads.
   then I will of course add recording/sequencing features.

if anyone knows anything about using the peripheral ports do tell me.

Recently I've discovered that my SupraFaxModem's TR (Terminal
readly) LED no longer lights up when turned on.  After some
investigation, I came to the conclusion that neither the modem
or the flow-control modem cable is at fault.  I then plugged the
modem into the Printer port, and sure enough, the TR light came
back on.  I've ran the IIgs Diagnostic v3.0 tests for the
serial ports, and it reported "Serial Crystal Test Failed," and
I should consult the Apple Technical repair manual.

My question is:  Is this Serial Crystal something I can replace
myself?  I've looked in the Apple IIgs Hardware Reference, but
was unable to located this Serial Crystal.  There is, however, a
crystal to the right of the Memory Expansion slow (looking at
the ROM 1 256K mother board from the front end) that's labled
3.xxx Mhz.  Is this it?  I would hate to go in and have them tell me
I have to pay $300 for a mother board swap.

It's actually very ironic; I have had AppleCare for the whole system
for the past 5 years, and it expired about 6 months ago. At that
time, right before it expired, I took the GS to the Apple Tech
for a complete check-up, and they told me the system was perfect,
so I didn't bother to renew it, thinking it's going to last me
forever now.  I never even used the AppleCare once during those
5 years, and now, I might have to spend more money :(

Can anyone help?

	Jawaid, I have suffered from 'burn in' on my monochrome, and it
can be a real problem. Although with a color monitor the risk is
not as high as monochrome, it can occur. A screen saver is also
better than just turning your screen down, because the animation
does not leave your screen in a static state. My burn-in came
from leaving my monochrome on a screen for only 4 hours, but
it was a monochrome monitor, which is more susceptible to this
problem. Besides, Phantasm looks great!

Sez you. I got a low dollar secondhand ROM 3 and swapped the board into my
signature edition case. Let's see: Appletalk in slots 1 or 2, 1 mb more memory,
step and trace monitor commands that actually work, sticky keys and keyboard
mouse in hardware, twice as many toolsets in ROM where they run faster, a
battery that's not soldered to the board, ability to reset the RAM disk size
without running system diagnostics, the satisfaction of having the newest
Apple II there wil ever be - those are a few advantages I can name right off
the top of my head. I think it was definitely worth it.
If you want a ROM 3 I would try one of the mail order places which sell parts
and secondhand machines.

So when can we expect to see some documentation on LLuce? Or an actual

Date sent:  31-DEC-1992 01:07:47 

I've been wondering about something for a long time.  Almost every Mac I've
worked with has had a screen saver installed, ostensibly to prevent screen
burn-in.  I've had an Apple //e since 1983, with a "monitor ///" monochrome
monitor attached, and my screen has never been burnt in, even when I left it on 
for up to 12 hours at a time (usually I would turn it off, but every once 
in a while I'd forget).  Is it the black-on-white nature of Mac monitors that 
requires a screen saver, or was I just lucky with my //e?

Which brings me to another question:  Why is a black-on-white screen considered 
better for the eyes?  Personally I find it to be worse; I feel like I'm shining 
a low-level light right into my face.  I work much better on the Mac with 
programs that allow me to invert the screen (vt100 emulators).  Anyone know the 
science behind this?

    In your auto-logon script, make the very first line a macro to force
the speed back up to 9600.  I don't remember what the command structure is
like in 2.0, but in 3.0 you basically call up the Online Parameters dialog
and bump the speed back up.  Proterm 2.0 can't lock the port rate so it
defaults to whatever the modem's CONNECT message says.  The newer Supras
have an option to display the port rate in the CONNECT and the actual link
speed as CARRIER.  Check if your modem has this feature.  For example, I
get something like:

     CARRIER 14400
     CONNECT 38400
     etc., etc.

when I connect to a v.32bis system.  Proterm sees the CONNECT message and
correctly sets the port rate to 38400 bps.

    Yeah, plug in a few more magical chips and you get 24-bit colour and
16-bit stereo sound too.  :-/  Someone was taking you for a ride on that
one.  The fastest the ZipGS will go without modification is 12.5 MHz with
64K of cache.  That config has plenty of speed to spare, especially if
you're just coming from 2.8 MHz.  ;-)

I used to get this whenever I had used the computer for more than 45 minutes

for a few minutes or it'd do the same things as soon as I hit oa-ctrl-reset

Solution: I bought a system saver GS and have NEVER experienced the problem
again, and gained a decent powerbar/surge protector.. I think the problem was
that it was overheating though all I had in it was a printer card.

P.S. Now I've got a new grappler, Zip, 2 ram cards, Sonic Blaster and it
still hasn't overheated so I guess that's a good review for the System Saver.
