Subject: Sys 6 on LC2 & Classic2 ?
Date: 15 Sep 92 20:16:05 GMT
Organization: Nuclear Eng. Dept, UMass-Lowell

Hello Netters,
     I am considering upgrading my Mac+ to either Classic II or LC II. After
the price, my main concern is software compatibility because I am still using 
System 6.0.8. Does either of these Macs runs System 6 or do both of them 
require System 7? I know that officially both are required to run Sys 7 or 
higher but I remember an article on one of these newsgroups sometime ago 
mentioning that System 6 does run on one of these machines! Thanks in advance.

Regards,

  There was an article in MacWeek not too long ago (1-2 mo.) that said the
people who make Soft PC, are comming out with something like Soft Windows. 
The article was breif, and my memory fades, but as I recall they said it
was pretty neat, and would only run on the '040 Macs (i.e. Quadras)

Hi netters ,

I want to buy a 16 or 21 inch color monitor. Unfortunately, I cannot afford
buying a color card at the same time. I have an old 4-8 bit Apple Card and
need to know, which monitors (16 - 21 inch) can be used with this card.
In particular I am interested if a Supermatch 21 inch would do the job.
After some time I intend to replace the card with an accelerated 24bit one.

Does somebody have a general summary which card/monitor combinations are
possible ? This would be also useful for me.

thanks for your help - Jorg

NT isn't supposed to support full DOS compatibility

one other note - no matter what MS says, their 'promise' to 'keep

any sort of details on what NT will do and what it will run on - just

I was told about another cheap alternative (haven't tried it yet)

1) Create a new folder on another drive or in another folder with the same name
   as the "Folder from Hell".
2) Drag this new folder to the same folder/disk that contains the "Folder from
   Hell".
3) The Mac will ask you if you want to replace items with the same name.
4) Of course, YES
5) Now you can throw away the "no more Folder from Hell".

What type of performance can one get out of a robust Quadra running Soft
AT?  I know this is a non-specific question and depends on the application
etc.  But, what type of application runs slowly (or well)?  If you were to
run Excell via soft at on a quadra would you get 386-like performance?
[Just an possible comparison point.  I would run it on the Mac too :-)]

I will summarize e-mail responses to the net.

There's a Tech Note from Apple that explains the specifics.  You'll also
find
that Omega SANE isn't installed exactly the same with System 7.1 either.

    SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
    The Microsoft Windows NT operating system runs on Intel 80386 and higher
    systems with a recommended configuration of 8 MB of RAM and 100 MB or more
    of disk space, or on similarly conigured RISC based systems.

   I'd say that those are pretty steep hardware requirements which I'd
be more than happy to live with on a 68030-based color Mac (I do fine
with 5 megs of memory and 80 megs of HD).

Well, for the cost of your machine(assuming it's a Mac][ci), you could have a
486DX 50Mhz, 32Megs RAM and, say, a half Gig HD...that's the equal of a really
serious Quadra, except twice as fast and four times the basic memory and more
disk space...
     I just bought a 386DX 33Mhz 8MegsRAM 336Meg HD with Trackball, Fax/Modem,
Math Co-Processor, and SVGA for a little over 2G's...that's more of a machine
right there than my Mac][ci which has 160MegHD, 5MegsRAM an '030, is 25Mhz, and
cost over twice as much( with a mere VGA...)
     So obviously hardware cost isn't a factor if comparing the Mac to
Win/NT...unless you really want Mac to look bad...

A friend of mine read an article in USA Today (either Tuesday or

for the Macintosh will no longer sport the Trash Can.  The article said
something about how it causes too much confusion....

My friend also inferred from the article that this "trashless Finder"
could happen as soon as System 7.1.

Any creedence to this 'report'?  I don't hold USA Today in any sort of
esteem as a high-tech-reporting-journal, but he seemed to think it might
be fact.

I have an LCII; my good friend has an si. Both are good machines. The basic
difference is this: the LCII is cheaper, but slower, and has fewer expansion
slots. The LCII, though it has an '030 chip, has a 16-bit data path, where the
si has a 32-bit data path. What this means--as I understand it--is that the
LCII has, as it were, a highway with fewer lanes, so at rush hour, the speed at
which traffic moves is going to be slower than on the IIsi. I don't find it
intolerable, however. Depends a lot on what you're doing: for most tasks, an
LCII will be quite powerful enough, while for some tasks (like CAD) a IIsi
isn't going to cut it either.

Moral: If you can afford it, get a IIsi. Otherwise get an LCII with at least a
13" monitor. You'll be happy either way.

I am thinking of writing Mac apps, and have a number of questions:

1) Is MacsBug any use? I see version 6.2 sold with the Apple doccy in
   bookstores, is there a later version? 6.2 appears to be 1990 vintage.

2) I assume that "Inside Mac" books are a prerequisite, is the new version
   actually out yet, I looked in 2 technical bookstores in Palo Alto tonight
   and only saw the older version.

3) I want to be able to read disk blocks directly from within a file, and
   furthermore to do it *asynchronously*. Are there primitives to do this?

4) Sort of related to (3). Does it make any sense for me to be issuing SCSI
   commands to the disk or is this merely what the driver does?

5) Do I have access to and control over interrupts? If I have some code that
   *has* to execute within a given time can I disable interrupts to ensure
   that this happens (and not thereby miss interrupts).

6) I understand there are app builders that can set me up a skeleton app to
   handle window redraws etc, any recommendations here? I plan to use Think-C.

7) Can I do sound asynchronously? I have limited experience here, but it seems
   that when the Mac plays a sound everything else stops.

This ought to be in the FAQ if it isn't, but I think that unless the PB is
different from all the other Macs, all you need to do is plug a mini-stereo
plug in the external speaker jack (this assumes the PB has an external jack).

Turning down/off the sound doesn't do the trick.  Someone once complained
that turning the sound to 0 actually made the startup chord louder.  I have
not experimented to veify this... I also don't have a PB (yet).

A must-have, unless you have TMON Pro which costs money.
macsBug 6.2.2 is the latestm and is available for ftp from

Well, so buy the older ones. Or save the money and buy a CD

a CD disc, which has both the older ones and many of the newer
ones electronically.

   3) I want to be able to read disk blocks directly from within a file, and

Yup. PBReadAsync instead of PBReadSync. You could get a callback
to a function, or poll a field to see if it's done; your choise.

   4) Sort of related to (3). Does it make any sense for me to be issuing SCSI
      commands to the disk or is this merely what the driver does?

Leave it to the driver.

   5) Do I have access to and control over interrupts? If I have some code that
      *has* to execute within a given time can I disable interrupts to ensure
      that this happens (and not thereby miss interrupts).

Well, you are currently running in supervisor mode, so just move
into the flags register. Unfortunately, that breaks under A/UX
and system 8 and on RISC macs (right around the corner)

   6) I understand there are app builders that can set me up a skeleton app to
      handle window redraws etc, any recommendations here? I plan to use
      Think-C.

Think C comes with a good class library. Study it; use it.

   7) Can I do sound asynchronously? I have limited experience here, but it
      seems that when the Mac plays a sound everything else stops.

Nah, that's just the SysBeep() sound. Async sounds aren't very hard
at all on the mac!

I don't want to start the eternally unsolved thread of which is better again,
but, you seem to be missing the points that:
  (1)  Clock speeds are not the correct way to benchmark how fast a computer
       really is.  With pre-fetching and other niceties that the MC680x0's
       offer, I have not seen a 33MHz '486 _PERFORM_ as fast as my Mac.  The
       '486 machines spend too much of their processing time dealing with a
       ridiculously out of date OS called DOS, and then a DOS program which
       pretends to offer a GUI for PCs called Windows.
  (2)  The people who buy Macs spend money for the quality components which
       Apple uses, much like those expensive IBM brand PCs.  They cost more,
       but everything is supposed to be compatible, and there are less problems
       down the road with the equipment.  Saying you bought "...a 386DX ..."
       doesn't impress me, nor shall it ever.  If I wanted a cheap computer, I
       could have bought some clone.  I wanted a good computer, where a word
       processor doesn't include 4 disks of printer drivers, the File menu
       always has Save in the same place, and I don't need to own a single
       piece of equipment or software from the ultimate megacorporation for
       being unresponsive to industry guidelines, MicroSloth.

Flames to /dev/null/ please.  Sensible mail gladly accepted.

Cheers!

Most likely not.  This is frequently a symptom of running out of heap space

Similar problem ... 0000000F/00007FFF for me on a IIci ... it will boot off
a floppy, but not off the internal hard drive.  I've looked at the Sad-Mac
code file at Sumex, but it just says that a xxxx000F/xxxxxxxx code is
"$000F: Reserved for Macintosh compatibility."  Any clue what that means?

Thanks much in advance!
