  Ahhh, misinformation reigns supreme.

  There is no such thing (as far as I'm aware on the market) of a 
separate math coprocessor for the 68040.  The 68040 has a built-in
math coprocessor, albeit does not include transcendentals (in 
this respect, it is just keeping up with the RISC chips).  
  However, what the first poster was talking about, is that Apple
is probably going to use a low-cost version of the 68040, 
a chip which Motorola produces for all its customers, not just
Apple, which drops the floating point part of the 68040.  This is
what Radius uses in their low-cost Rocket 25i.

  This version of the 68040 (called LC for low-cost, believe it or not), 
costs around $200-300 less than the full-blown 68040 (which is what
Apple currently uses in the Quadras).  Thus, for those people who do
little floating point, they'll be able to buy a machine with 68040
performance at a much lower entry point price.

Even easier than editting a font, borrow the fonts out of tn3270 as it works in
EBCDIC - which kept me amused when I wanted to edit the fonts in it.

It will take advantage of the old FPU on the IIci.

No!  it turns out another disadvantage of the IIvx's accelerator slot is
that it can't talk to the FPU on the motherboard.  If you put a
PowerCache in a IIvx, you'll have to get one with an FPU because you'll lose 
the one on the motherboard (I just found this out from DayStar).  The same 
goes for the cache (except that all PowerCaches have built-in caches, of
course).


>  Is a slower FPU better than none at all?

Yes, MUCH better if you run certain apps that make use of the FPU.  For
most apps, it doesn't matter whether or not you have an FPU at all
because they don't use it.

Organization: FidoNet node 1:3603/20 - Mercury Opus NEC360, St Petersburg FL

I have been comtemplating the purchase of an 88Mb SyQuest drive for two 
reasons:

1) To be a removable media backup device for my 80Mb hard disk.

2) To provide extra on line disk capacity. 80Mb just isn't enough.

My question is this. How difficult is it to back up an on line SyQuest 
cartridge to another cartridge with a single drive? I'd really like to get 
two SyQuest drives, but my pocket book can't handle that right now. I can 
remember the bad old days when copying a 400k disk on a 128k machine with 
a single drive meant MANY disk swaps. That's probably going to be deja vu 
all over again with my current 8 Meg IIcx and a single 88 meg SyQuest. I 
really want to get away from the 90 odd floppies it takes for my current 
backup. Maybe doing 10-20 SyQuest swaps will be better than shuffling 
through 90+ floppies. And faster too.

I will be traveling to Japan soon and would like to buy a case for my SE/30 as
I will be taking it with me as luggage. My own feeling is that I should use a
hardcase rather than soft (I will be checking the computer, not carrying on). I
would be interested in any experience with the following.

1) Do I in fact need a hardcase if I plan to check the computer as baggage.
It's going to take some real effort to convince me that a softcase is
sufficient.

2) Where can I buy a hardcase and what should it cost me? The case needs to
hold an SE/30, extended keyboard, Syquest drive, and a very small modem.

Thanks in advance,

Try using the "LaserWriter font Utility" (not sure about the name) from

I think your best bet is to find SOMEONE with an Apple II that has both
5.25 and 3.5" drives.  I think they're readily available at almost any
elementary school, for example.  Copy your 5.25" disks to 3.5" media
then you can use AFE to convert to Mac format.

There's a neat init at apple.com called "PRODOS file system".  It was
intended to be used with the LC //e card, but works fine on all macs.
It lets you pop a PRODOS 3.5" disk into your mac and have it appear on
the desktop.  Subdirectories appear as folders and can be opened.

If you have ClarisWorks or MacWrite II you can read and write directly to
Apple II PRODOS-formatted disks on your Mac.  This way you wouldn't
have to translate all those disks - you can just access files directly.
My father is using it; he copied all his Apple II files to a folder
on his hard disk and uses things like "On Location" to search for text in
them.  You don't need AFE at all; just pop the Apple II disk in the drive
and drag over the icons you want to copy.

Hello, all.

We have a Quadra 700 with the internal 240 Mb Drive running A/UX 3.

I believe the machine came with A/UX already installed, but what we wanted
to do was resize the Mac disk partition from 4Mb to about 10.  The only
way I know how to do this with Apple software is through the HD SC setup
program.

Once the setup program is running and the custom disk partitioning window
is up, the partition diagram had 6 partitions.  The last two were the
Mac partition (4Mb) followed by another A/UX partition (~85Mb - slice 3).
I first deleted the A/UX partition, then the mac partition.  Once I
recreated the mac partition (for 10Mb), the Setup program quit recognizing
the disk as a 240Mb drive - now it thinks the drive is only 162Mb.

Has anybody had a problem like this, where the Setup program, after modify-
ing the partitions, fails to recognize the full capacity of the disk?
How can I get around this?

If you have any ideas, could you please email me instead of posting?

I have a mac and two hundred 5 1/4" apple II prodos/appleworks disks.  I
need to 
transfer and translate these files to Mac formats.  I do have both AFE
and MacLinkPCPlus for the translation end of it.  My problem lies in the
physical data transfer (I don't have an appleII).  I remember there once
was a third party drive for mac capable of reading and writing both
prodos and dos disks but I can't find
information on that drive.  (I thought it was Dayna's but they denied it.)

I also have ready access to dos machines and if there's a ready solution
there I 
wouldn't mind (overly mind) apple ii --> pc --> mac.

   Are you sure that the FPU-less 040 isn't a68040 with the FPU disabled.
With as many problems as Motorola has had with the 68040's production
I wouldn't be surprised for them to sell 68040's which had flaws in the fpu
section with that part disabled. Intel does it as it recycles what would
otherwise be a rejected component.

AD 2.0 is great. I've saved so much room on my hard drive by using it. Surprisi
ngly, it also work very well on QuickTime files, which can get quite large.

Personally, I've had no problems with 2.0, but I'm always wary so I've been loo
king for 2.01. Apparently, 2.0 is stable enough that a bug fix is not going to
be needed. This is wonderful news from Salient, especially after what happened
with version 1.0.

Now if only they could make AIC more efficient and compress everything that way
