I'd think you could make a "Password" INIT a "System" INIT, whereas you could
still have to use a password even with the shift key down... Only Non-System    INITS are affected by the shift key, and maybe you could change a bit or an 
auxillary type and turn it into a System INIT.

I was looking thru the Sun Remarketing catalog at the prices on
used Macs. (I know, thins is c.s.a2, but stay with me for a minute!)

Since Appletalk requires a Mac as a fileserver, (or whatever you call it)
what is the minimum Mac I can get to network my 2 GSes? 

Any advantages to this?? Any disadvantages??

Epson-compatible printers are icky...you can't get a 72x72 or 144x144
dpi matrix out of 'em for graphics.  I tried plugging one into my
computer once and printed some stuff with SuperFonts...the output was
stretched out because the closest that Epsons and clones come is 60x72
or 120x144 (?) dpi.  I would never consider an Epson/clone for any
Apple computer (II or Mac).  They're a little more usable on IBMs and
their clones, but I'd prefer PostScript or HP compatibility over Epson
compatibility. 

Also, the interface matters little.  Your printer can only go so fast.
Mine (an Imagewriter) runs at no more than 120 cps...a 1200-baud
serial connection would be fast enough for text.  I run mine at 9600,
which is fast enough for any print job you can throw at it...whether
it's printing graphics or text, the computer always tries to outrun
the printer.

Subject: GS 6.0 and ORCA/C shell
Date: 15 Sep 92 15:44:54 GMT



	I recently ahd a problem on my GS after installing ORCA/C on my hard
disk. I set "SetStart" to the ORCA shell. The system would boot fine.
When I would "quit" from the shell, I would get a message stating 
"Finder needs GS/OS 6.0 or later". I would hit return and the dialog would
pop up asking which application to run. But it would crash befor finishing.

	I booted without inits/DAs and the same thing happened. I then got out
the original system 6 disks, and they booted fine. Conclusion: some system
dependent file, on my hard drive, is corrupted. I then copied the original
system disk to my RamFactor. I booted into ORCA shell again. I have a "cmp"
shell command which I got from the unix system here, which I used to do
byte compares of all of the main system files. The problem turned out to 
be TOOL018. I replaced this TOOL and the system now works fine.

	My problem now is why TOOL018 got corrupted!!! If anyone has any guess,
or info, or anything else, let me know. I am not sure what TOOL018 provides.

Subject: SCSI Cards
Date: 11 Sep 92 04:17:07 GMT

I have a few questions about SCSI cards (namely the RamFast
and the Apple DMA SCSI cards).  Now I know the RF is faster
but how versatile is it with SCSI devices other than a hard
drive?  (I know it can handle tape drives).  What about
scanners, CD-ROM, Flopticals, others....
I don't plan on getting any of these devices (well maybe a floptical
eventually!) but if I were to get another SCSI device it seens
to me that going with the Apple DMA SCSI card is a safer bet in
getting a card that will work with a device (i.e., drivers are
more likely to be written for the Apple card than the RF).

I very well could be wrong. I haven't researched this area 
extensively (the whole reason for the questions!). However, I
do plan on getting a new SCSI card in the future and also wil
be getting a ZIPGS card (prbably the cheapest-- 7MHz,8Kb). So,
I want a SCSI card with more speed than my Rev. C card AND one
that will not hurt performance too much (i.e., create a bottleneck)
when I do get my accelerator card.

Well, any comments?

Thanks,
Paul Schultz

1) is the toolset started (properly)?
2) are you passing the correct parms? (probably a pointer to a Pascal string,
       don't have my books with me.)
3) is a toolerror returned? (there should be a way to get this in Pascal).
4) are you using the USING directive?
5) a Str2Real function is not that hard to write yourself.  But since a
   toolcall already exists it would be better if you figured out why it
   is not working properly.  But, if in dire straits, just write your
   own routine.

Believe me, the String2Real function works.  I know I've used it in the
past, and the bug probably would have cropped up by now.

I've been trying to run SS 1.01 and have encountered a problem. If anyone else
has encountered these or others, I'd appreciate knowing about it so we can pin
down the cause.

When I run the music player, the song plays fine. When I run the graphic 
player, it plays garbage, and trashes the data file in memory as it plays.
After that, the file is corrupted until it's reloaded; even the plain music
player won't play it anymore.

Answer here or e-mail, and I'll post results.

I have a copy of the program PFS.FIL.CONVERT, which I'll upload to
comp.binaries.apple2 shortly.  It reads the data directly from a
PFS:File disk and outputs it as a ProDOS text file, with one field per
line (e.g. if each record has nine fields, the total number of lines
in the file will be 9 times the number of records).
AppleWorks can read these files by using "Create new file for
Database", "From a text (ASCII) file", "Return between categories".
You just need to tell it how many fields there are in the record.

I would guess that we have approximately 100 or so active users out there.
I was wondering if anyone was up to abstracting the files on caltech.  I
know that the umich archives have some brief abstracts - perhaps if they
didn't care we could start with those.  Basically what I have in mind is
a set of files that someone, toddpw perhaps, could move into the appropriate
directories which would list 

author name
program name
brief program description
program requirements (hardware, software)
program restrictions (doesn't work on rom 3; shareware $20; etc.)

The apple2-l bitnet archive has one liners basically from the Subject
lines.  The wuarchive has a filename/subject line list.
The caltech has a ls -lR type listing and we could help them out with this
project.

Anyone game?

  If I remember correctly, I think this is the correct way to beat the
 dragon:

       Use Blink (the spell that makes you dissappear for 2 secs)
       Activate flame protection spell (can't remember what it was called)
       Then put amulet up to light...
       The wizard will appear
       Use Statue spell to avoid lightning.
       Then use Sonic protection spell.. (or else yer head will explode)
       Use statue again to protect against skeleton
       
  I'll play the last level again this weekend, just to make sure and
explain it better..  eventually the dragon fries the wizard...

Is there a hard disk optimizer that will work on a //e?? A friend of mine
tried Beachcomber and we found it is GS specific.
 Please e-mail response.

Terry, please send me e-mail. I'd like to talk about the possibility of 
upgrading my TransWarp GS, but long distance phone calls are something I 
need to avoid unless neccessary. Thanks.

Herb

All you have to do is use an Apple cable that has Mini DIN-8 connectors at
both ends. Apple created those cables specifically for the reason that if
you have two DIN-8 ports, you don't have to bother with the hassle of
modem cables, printer cables, null modem cables, etc.. A cable is a cable
is a cable, and a cable can connect any device to any other device.
