Well I've got an interesting problem with my Video Overlay Card. As some
may have noticed, 3200 pics do not show up very well with the VOC because
the GS video isn't in sinc (sp?) with the VOC. Soloution? I was told that
connecting the NTSC output on the GS to the VOC input would solve the
problem. It did, and that's the way I've had my GS set up since January.
Now I've got a new problem. The GS video now shifts towards the left
during the first fifteen to twenty minutes of operation, in fact I've lost
about half an inch of the left side of the video. Problem is solved as
long as I don't plug the GS video into the VOC.  Do I have to send it to a
dealer for repairs or is there a way I can adjust the card?

One thing you may want to consider is that the patch does not work on your
Paintworks because of a changed location. It is either a changed location
or that the patch has already been applied, I think...
So you may want to look for how to patch it with a sector/block editor
instead of with some sort of program.

Howdy All,
	Forgive me if the following sounds preachy...
	For the last few months I've been seriously trying to sell off
my IIgs. I've seen the Sun Set on the Empire so to speak. Watched as my
product loyalty was rewarded with an Iron Boot To The Head from 
Apple Inc. (those of you in Apple who have worked so hard on the two
: please don't feel flamed. e.g. Tim Swihart, Matt Deathrage, et.al).
	Now I see something genuily exciting happen.
	The GS and the other II family members are starting to emerge
from the heavy dead hand of Apple Corp. 
	As the day draws ever closer that Mac Inc. will stop making 
the II and drop it from its product line there is happening a changing
of the gaurds. The II is becoming a shareware haven. Independent 
companies like A2 Central are taking up the slack in a mighty way
and there is a stellar cast of programmers committed to the II like
Ian Schmidt and Chiang and Gogul and many other wonderful shareware
authors that make owning a IIgs a very worthwhile expereince. Thank 
you all. 
	I'll be keeping my II. Hopefully I'll be making some 
contributions to the cause myself in the form of Shareware/PD. I've
been working hard on Byteworks self teaching C course and have 
advanced modestly (though excitingly!). I see the II getting a 
fresh chance to show that it is what we've always known it was. A 
Supreme Platform for Creativity. Excuse my french (I hear the FTA 
laughing) but Fuck the Amiga. The GS is THE True Creativity Machine!!
Lets make it easier to use with better and more sophisticated 
tools from US. The USERS. We are now the future of the GS. Hopefully
Avatar will succeed. If not we can always make the GS more than it
is. Woz helped create a machine thats much more extensible than Skully
could ever possibly dream of. The Mac will fail to the IBM in the
Corporate wars while we Chosen Few will continue the enjoyment of
a true 'hackers' machine. To all IIGS lovers: Go forth and multiply,
create unto each other shareware and gifts of pd. Maketh thy machine
the envy of all who shall observe its exquisite functioning ;)

They're publishing Kangaroo??? That's great news! I have a spec sheet for that
program lying around here - but unfortunately it's in French. From what I know
and see it's something like a SuperBoomerang clone (that's a Mac program). It's
a pop-up Menu inside File Dialog boxes and offers FileUtilites, File Search,
path utilities and a File Viewer among other stuff. Looks pretty cool and is
designed to take advantage of System 6.0.

Fellow //gs users.  I have a question that may have already been answered
at one time, so bear with me.  I have a friend who has a RAMFAST SCSI card.
She has a //gs, with a TMS Pro 105 Meg hard drive.  

However, when we try to run Prodos 8 Applications, the machine crashes.  If
you take that application [AppleWorks 3.0, ProTerm, etc] and put it on a
floppy, and boot, it is okay.  Just as long as one does not use the hard
drive.  

I went on America Online, and there was a file [P8] put on by a member of
NAUG.  It came with documentation telling one to put the P8 file into the
System Folder of the Hard Drive.  It said it should clear up the problems.
However, it did not.  

I then called a friend, who informed me to turn off the "mapping" on the
partitions.  I did this too, keeping only the boot partition on.  [Next to
the asterisk].  

I also made sure to delete the files SCSI.Manager, SCSI.HDDriver, and
SCSI.CDDriver from the driver's folder on the hard drive.

However, everything still seems to dump into memory.  Do I have to get a
patched version of Prodos 2.1?  

Someone please help me!!! :)

Thanks!

 I don't know if that's still available (at least not from Apple Computer).
All ImageWriter II printers manufactured after 1989 came with a 24k buffer
built-in. You can easily tell if you have a newer IW2 model by the circle
and line icon next to the power-button. Also the power connector and 8-pin
plug connect locations have been moved. (There's some other changes too)

Actually Apple did offically discontinue the 32k buffer option. Here's 
what it says in my IW2 manual: 

 "* Note: Earlier versions of the ImageWriter II accepted the 32k
    memory option. A larger buffer is now standard on the ImageWriter II.
    The 32k Memory Option is no longer available. *" 

I remember a 3rd party company offering a compatible printer buffer at
something in sizes like 16k/32k/64k/128k buffers for the IW2, but I'd have 
no idea whether they're still in business.

It's the Open-Apple key you're looking for.  Hold it down upon turning on
the power to the //gs and you'll get a screen that allows you to switch
from 50 to 60 Hz. and resets the bram.

TIC was never PD to begin with.  It started out as shareware, but has

  What I wouldn't mind seeing is a clearing house that would accept
shareware payments, and pass the money on to the author regardless of
which country the money is going to.
 
 It's a real pain for me to send shareware payments to anyone outside of
Canada, since most authors want payment in a form they can esily handle,
and a cheque from a bank in Canada isn't that easy for someone in
Australia to handle :-(

 It would be real easy for both the user and the author if I could
obtain a program from my usual online service/user group/whatever, try
it for a while, and then pick up the phone and use my credit card to pay
for it. The clearing house would take the program name, the author's
name, and my credit card info; pay the author the shareware fee, and
charge the fee and a service charge to my credit card.

The clearing house could also handle mailing out of the latest version
of a program, or simply pass the customer's name and address back to the
author for further support.

 Hi all! 
 
  
 I recently acquired a TransWarp GS and am interested in making it
 run faster.  Here are my questions.  I've heard about a Sanyo CPU that can
 run 15MHz.  Is this true?  Where can I get one?  Is the 32k cache
 upgrade the little daughterboard containing 3 SRAMs and an EPROM?
 What speed of SRAM chips do you need and is there a way to calculate
 the speed?  Also, how can I tell if I have the PALs that can run at
 15MHz?

 Now for my second topic.  Currently I am running a Princeton Graphics
 system UltraSync monitor on my IBM.  This monitor is VGA and
 Multi-Sync.  I made a custom cable and use this monitor on my IIGS
 also.  But, I want to get a new monitor to use on both my computers.
 The problem is I don't know the horizonal and vertical scan rate for
 the RGB analog output on the IIGS.  I've heard that most monitors
 won't work with the GS so I need to know.

 Any help is greatly appreciated.

OK, I want to upgrade my Zip, just like a lot of the other people here
have been asking, but noone seems to have posted a step by step for the
"mechanically inclined but uninformed." What I'd like to know is what
each of the items on my Zip is, and it's supposed function, and what is
going to be replaced. (And also a good reccomendation for where to buy
the parts, and how much it will cost. Microprocessors Unlimited I believe
I've been sent to before, are they still currently the best? Do they
carry the Sanyo chips? What part numbers should I ask for for the Sanyo's
and some fast memory to go with it, and whatever else I need...?)
 
From what I can tell, I have the revision 1.02 board without any upgrades.
Yes, this is one of the "cheap" Zips with no upgrades on it (yet). From
what I understand, *any* of the boards can be upgraded though. Correct?
 
One other question I have is what exactly is the split cache upgrade, and
what will it do for me. Yes, I understand the concept of why cache memory
is used and desireable, but why a spilt-cache? GNO?
 
A little background so I don't end up with anything that is conflicting
in my system, I have a Rom03, 20Meg Vulcan, Sonic Blaster, Zip 8/8,
AST VisionPlus, and a VOC. I also have a half full GS Ram+ for a total
of 4 meg on board. Any speed problems with any of these?
 
Thanks in advance!
