My PowerBook 160 had System 7.1 pre-installed and it sleeps just fine.
I use the Norton Essential Utilities for the PowerBook to modify the
sleep time based on application and AC power/battery/low battery
conditions.  Do you have an init that prevents the PowerBook from
sleeping?  There are several floating around.

Subject: Re: Sys 7.0 bombs on boot. Why? (A)
Summary: Bad LocalTalk may cause problem at start-up
Organization: Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1993 07:27:16 GMT

I did not read the original question on "Sys 7.0 bombs on boot. Why?".
However, I will offer this a general observation, since I recently
have observed it in seperate instances, and it might be useful for
others even if it does not adress the original question.

My findings are that a bad LocalTalk connection can result in a hang-up
at boot time. If the LocalTalk cables are not properly terminated, the 
net will be very prone to disturbances. Normally, the LocalTalk "boxes"
are self-terminating, but if the cable plug is partially withdrawn from
the connector, the termination will fail. The confusing part of this is
that the net may continue to work for some machines, but not for all. It
seems that the circuitry is slightly more tolerant on some machines than
on others in this regard. In my case, I had recurring problems at boot 
with a ci, which disappered if I disconnected LocalTalk (at other times,
the machine would start, but not show any net devices in the Chooser, and
at yet other times it would work normally). I was almost on the verge of
ordering a new mother-board, when our technician remembered a similiar
occurence which had taken him several days to solve, and after looking
through the net cabling we found the slipping connection. After that the
problems disappered. The same problem occured again, with an SE/30, just
a few days ago (however, this time I am not sure if other machines on the
net were affected, since I found the problem quickly when I came to think
of a possible LocalTalk problem)

The exact symptoms of this problem is that at start-up, just a second or
two after the "Welcome to Macintosh" screen is displayed, and just after 
the arrow cursor is shown, the machine will freeze and you will have to 
reboot (this will repeat itself until the LocalTalk connection is fixed 
or disconnected). It is quite similiar to a SCSI bus problem, so if you
have several SCSI devices installed, this might be your first thought, but
check your LocalTalk too!

I might also add that it is *possible* that if a slipping connection will 
work/not work, this may depend on how many machines on the net are currently
active. This might be the reason that the ci would sometimes work, some-
times not.

PLEASE SAVE THIS FILE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE -- I'LL NOT POST IT AGAIN!

When you turn on the Macintosh or press the reset button on the programmers
switch, several memory and system diagnostics take place. If any test
fails, the Sad Mac appears. The code number below it indicates the nature
of the malfunction.

The first two digits indicate the type of error. If it is a RAM test
failure, (first two digits - 02, 03, 04 or 05) the last four digits
identify the suspect chips. The last four digits must be converted from
hexadecimal numbers to a 16 digit number to learn which chips are bad.

If the Sad Mac appears after the disk starts spinning, the first two digits
of the code number under the icon are 0F, and the next four digits indicate
the type of error. If you get a Sad Mac with an 0F code, try restarting the
Mac while holding down the Option and Command keys (rebuild the desktop
file.) You may also be able to fix a faulty startup disk by replacing its
System File.

The error 0F000D most likely means that you have something pressed against
the interrupt button on the programmer switch! (Move those books anyway,
you're blocking precious air flow into your Mac) The error 0F0064 means
that the startup disk you have inserted (mounted) into the disk drive is
missing the system file.

Code     Meaning
01XXXX   ROM test
02XXXX   RAM test-bus subtest
03XXXX   RAM test-byte write
04XXXX   RAM test-mod3 test
05XXXX   RAM test-address uniqueness

I have been trying out SuperClock 4.0.1! on my IIsi 17/80 (7.1, 32-bit mode)
These oddities come to light:
1. In cthe control panel, you can't set the alarm time with the arrows -
it usually cycles between am/pm instead. Also, there is no indicator of whether
the alarm is on or off - not even in balloon help (click here to turn the alarm
off etc)
2. Using Chicago 12, the clock numbers are still a couple of pixels lower
than the menu titles.
3. I'd like to see the day only when I bring up the date, and not all the time,
as I think it's a menu! Can this be implemented as an option?

After lots of thought, I went to 7.1 (from 7.01 tuned) over the last
month. I've been using the machine heavily at all times since then,
and I've noticed at least a moderate increase is spped of graphics
operations. Also, the system partition starts about 200k smaller than
7.01 did with the same set of inits, etc. (It grows a bit, though.) I
haven't noticed any incompatibilities with existing software,
including some things that the CompatChecker warned me about. And I
definitely LOVE the fonts folder. Fonts move fast, and they don't
fragment your drive as much since they're not part of the sys file any
more.

Scott, you've probably heard of Freedom of Press Light already, but it will
do exactly what you need.  It's slow, clunky at times, and even somewhat
difficult to use under Systemn 7 (at least the old version I used was) but
it does print PostScript to non-PS devices.  It costs $55-85 mailorder.  It
even prints to color devices.

Retrospect works quite well with the Viper drive, but you need 
to have a particular version of firmware or later. Archive Corp. 
recently fixed a bug in the Viper drive and released firmware 
version -013 which fixed their problem. To successfully use the 
Viper with Retrospect, you would need to get that drive's firmware 
updated to -013. 

With that firmware, Retrospect works quite well with that drive.

Apple's HD SC Setup only works with drives shipped by Apple. This is 
extremely irritating and causes enormous hassles trying to support many 
Macs in an institutional setting, especially now that Apple is out of the 
add-on drive market. There is no [good] reason for this; after all, if 
Apple's A/UX can support third-party drives, so can the MacOS.

Hello!

We have a mac IIsi running the Apple Internet Router (I'm not sure of the
version -- its about 6 months old).  The Mac is running 7.0.1 with an Asante
card and Asante Driver 5.0.1.  We have 8 Meg of RAM.

About two weeks ago the Mac started behaving strangely.  Intermittently the
Mac will respond very slowly, the mouse disappears for a few seconds, etc.  

Does anyone have any ideas how I can find the source of the problem?  I
suspect the Routing software since the problems appeared about the same time
major network changes were implemented.

Thanks,

In my case, our IIcx refuses to boot from its INTERNAL Quantum ProDrive 80MB
hard drive on the first try.  Hitting the "programmer's reboot" key fails
to see the internal drive (question-mark icon, no matter how many times). 
However, once the machine is turned OFF and back on it boots fine (2nd try). 
This only started happening about six months ago, well after the Apple
recall on Quantum drives with a sticktion problem.  No disk repair program
I've used can come up with a problem, and SCSI probe didn't report anything
unusual either.  I'm assuming it's sticktion and we'll just have to live
with it, but if anyone else has run into this problem and solved it, I'd
like to know.

You can pretty much bet that the LC-III will require System 7.1. System 7.1 has
 what Apple calls enablers. This means that whenever they release a new compute
r, all the user has to do is to put an extension into the system folder and the
 System will recognize what computer they have. System 7.0.1 does not have this
 capability. So when the new computers (LC-III, Quadra 800, etc.) come out, the
y will each come with their own enabler. Now the question is-maybe we can use S
ystem 7.0.1 and the enabler. Somehow I doubt this. I don't know if System 7.0 w
ill recognize enablers.

So don't count on being able to run the LC-III with anything less than System 7
.1.

However, I need to know if the Finder in System 7.0.0 (tuned) is identical

Finder from one machine to another.

Yes,that was my post and thanks for all the responses!  I know how to

change icons or drive/folder names.  I knew it had something to do with 
file sharing, and found out that when a system 6.x appleshare user logs

icons.  The fix is to boot from a floppy, or use a nifty utility I found 
at Sumex-Aim/info-mac/util called "Unlock Folder."  You can run this 
utility, reboot and change icons/names.  Very handy.

You are doing nothing wrong. What happens is that when you turn off 32bit, all
that extra memory is dumped into the system. In effect, taking it out of circul
ation for the rest of the programs. Look at the available memory+system memory
and you will see that it adds up to 20megs.
