Does anybody have any experience with the Powerbook Duo Dock combination?
We recently bought a dozen and like them - but there is one problem:
For no apparent reason a Powerbook may suddenly forget that it is 
connected to a network while in the Dock. We are running an Ethertalk
network, but the Chooser does not show any zones or servers, when AppleShare
is selected. It looks like it thinks the machine is connected to Localtalk
- but when I check the Network control panel it still shows
 Ethertalk selected. The only remedy seems to be
turning off and restarting the computer.
If you know about this problem, please mail me at

	Interesting.  The first allusion I saw to this was the 040
"compatibility mode" rating in the Speedometer ratings article.  I notice the
mode slows down the performance quite a bit.  What's the nature of this
incompatibility?  Was a lot of software affected?  I plan to buy a Mac soon
and I need to choose between an 030 and 040.

I recently read about an "upgrade" one could perform on a Mac SI,
where by replacing the 40 MHz oscillator chip on the motherboard
with a $7 50 MHz chip one could accelerate the SI's performance
by as much as 63%.  This is a totally unauthorized upgrade and
will void the warranty, but sounds like it might be worthwhile.

Anyway, owning a Classic II and not an SI, I am asking the networld
if anyone has ever attempted a similar operation on the Classic II.

If you have any experience with this type of thing I'd like to

Date: 25 Jan 1993 23:16:14 -0500
Organization: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
NNTP-Posting-Host: gallium.cs.unc.edu

I bought a PowerBook 160 just before Christmas last year, and have
been using it extensively (I use one battery fully and another to the
first power warning most days) since that time.  Tonight, I took it
out of my satchel and woke it up, and to my dismay found that the
lower mouse button was stuck.

It is not in the "click" position, so it is still fully possible to
use the PB with the top button.  However, I must press the bottom
button _very_ firmly (in fact, I think what I am doing is bending the
button enough to make contact) to register a click.

I'd very much like to repair the problem myself, if possible.  Our
local campus reseller has a "first in, first out" policy on repairs
which means that I would have to leave the machine with them for three
or four days, even though the repair would most likely take minutes.
As I have a handicap which makes writing very difficult, I really
can't afford to have three or four days of missed notes, etc.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem before?  If so, can I fix it
myself?  How?

Thanks for your help.

I have also had the famous IIsi sound problem for a year or so. I am convinced
it is a problem with the contacts from the board to the speaker and power
light wires, as has been talked about quite a bit on the net over the year.... 

I noticed a day or so ago that when I lift up the monitor (13" High Res),
which is sitting on the IIsi, I can make the sound and light go on and off!
This makes me wonder if the stress on the case affects the contacts... hmmmm.

If the 68LC040 lacks an FPU, and Apple releases a Mac with that chip, they
might very well provide a new System version with built-in FPU emulation.
They are already doing something similar.  The FPU in the 68040 does not
do trig and transcendental functions, like the 68881/68882 does, so these
functions are handled in software (as traps, I believe).  This means that
the 68040 Macs do not handle some math operations as fast as Macs with
68030/68882 chips.

Does the 68LC040 have a coprocessor interface that can talk to the 68882?
That might be a cheaper upgrade for those users who need more math speed,
than the 68040 swap.

Lessee.  Ink jet printers use 300 and 360 DPI commonly.  Fax is
200DPI.  Laser printers are 300 and 600 DPI.  Phototypesetters are
1200 and 2400 DPI.  Scanners are 72/144/300/600 DPI.

Also, most color monitors cannot display at 300DPI resolution.  And
300DPI requires 16 times as much memory as 72DPI.  That's 16 times as
much information for the CPU to push around.

Yes, a 300DPI 19" color monitor would be really nice.  But I personally
would rather use the money to buy a house.

Well for Apple's 21" monitor you would need 1 meg of VRAM and that is
the max colors you can get with a Quadra700 and 21" monitor:  more VRAM
won't get you anymore colors.  If you wanted more you'd have to go

You said it! Also, how come there are so many cool games for Intel-pased
PC's and not for Mac? It must be the facist way that Apple forces developers
to adhere to the rules and not hack the system. Also it has to do with the fact
that different sized monitors run at different resolutions on the Mac, making
it hard to make the game work for all monitors.

After having had the SW II for a week and some now, I can say that I think
that it is a really nice machine.  graphics and grayscale printing work
reasonably well, pictures come out fairly quickly and there is no ink smearing
at all so far.  In comparison with the Deskwriter of a friend downstairs,
the SWII is faster for documents and  pictures, and the images look better.
That is with SW II off a PB 100 and a Deskwriter off a Classic II.  This
is a somewhat subjective comparison, as we should have connected the two
printers to the same machine for the same job, but it made me happy.
Any more questions, feel free to ask.

I just got a HP48SX scientific calculator.  It is capable of making kermit
transfers with other HP48's, PC's, and Macs.  But they charge you 30 dollars
for the wire to go from your modem/printer port to the HP.  I'd much rather
make one myself.  I grabbed this from the faq for comp.sys.hp48:
 
       ---------  
      | o o o o | 
       \_______/ 
        ^ ^ ^ ^

        | | \---------3 RX (input to HP) 
        | \-----------2 TX (output from HP) 
        \-------------1 Shield 
 

That's the config of the port on the HP.  I have already fashioned a jack to 
fit it (it's an odd size that you can't buy), and finding a 9-pin mini-din
that fits in the serial port of my LC should be no problem.  And then I have
a mere 3024 possible wire combinations to try...

Can anyone provide me with a pin diagram for the modem/printer port that might
give me some insight as to what goes where?  Anyone had any related experience
doing this?  Hell, anyone have instructions?
