speaking of the little cartrige "house", does anybody know if HP makes a
"house" for *two* double capacity cartriges? The one supplied just doesn't
make any sense anymore. I called HP directly to get this answered (what a
joke), and they found a product number which was very close to the standard
garage which they ship with the DWC. But, get this, they don't know what its
called, what it holds, or where I can get it. They do know that its $32.  

It sounds like HP makes what I'm looking for, but you wouldn't know it from
talking to them...

Reading Don Crabb's article on upgrading Macs in the latest MacUser 
Ifeel that he has missed a very important point...

He claims that the power supply in the Mac Plus goes bad in "three
to four years." He then recommends maxing out the RAM to 4MB, adding other 
cards, etc. I have read elsewhere (probably here) that people expect
a 4MB Plus to expire in a few hundred hours, which is in line with my 
2.5MB Plus eating a PS every 1-2 years leaving it on all the time. Given
that the going price on my MacPlus is less than $500 it seems silly to 
pay $300 every year to have the shop replace the PS. Yet for some things
(and people) the Plus still suffices. The obvious question is...

Doesn't anyone sell the MacPlus power supply to those of us that don't
mind taking soldering iron in hand?

I'd like to make it last another year and then to pass it on to my parents,
the ultimate computer-phobics. Any info regarding parts dealers, whatever, 
would be greatly appreciated.

One of our Mac SE30's is experiencing problems.  During use the mouse

present when the machine is booted from a new Fujitsu 90Meg external

According to our campus computer store, the Q700 upgrade includes the logic
board, a new case and a microphone.  You keep the existing case lid, FDHD
drive, hard disk, and power supply.  If your IIcx has 80ns RAM in it you can
keep that, too (the Q700 has 4Mb built in, plus four RAM SIMM slots).

Cheaper than a complete new Q700, though.

I was talking to my brother today about the LC II and noted that it
1) only held 10 MB RAM, 2) had 4 MB soldered on the mother (board, that is)
3) had 2 SIMM slots.

So, to get 10 MB of RAM either 1) you load in 2  4MB SIMMS, wasting 2 MB or
2) somebody makes 3 MB SIMMS.

Am I correct, and why did they limit to 10MB when 12 feels so good?

with the same printer by connecting the localtalk to the network (via an
etherprint box) and connecting the serial port to a terminal server.

It appears that the margin is bigger than on normal HP laserjets. It

There are at least two possible solutions. You can buy an Envisio board
(available for the 100, 140 and 170) which is an internal card that has
a special plug (in the older versions) or a standard 15 pin connection
that you can hook right up to your monitor. This costs around $750.
WARNING: There is a limited list of monitors that this will support.
Things like the Radius FPD won't work. Envisio will send you a fax of 
what monitors it does support if you ask them to.

Second solution: The Radius Power Portrait. This plugs in to your SCSI
port and will drive most monitors. It runs for about $550. 
WARNING: This will slow down the reaction time for movement of items on
the screen, a sort of lag.

Take a look in the back of any MacWorld magazine and you'll find ads for
monitors that are equivalent to but cheaper than Apple's hi-res monitor.
For example, there's a Magnavox 14" color monitor that runs for $470 or so
and I'm using a NEC MacSync 14" color monitor that was about $395, but the
MacSync is no longer in production. Some vendors still might carry it, however.
You'll need to call around.

The PB 145 is due out soon, the major change that I am aware of is that
it will be using a 25 MHhz processor. I hope they stick the active matrix
screen on the thing (The one the 170 has) because the ghosting on the
normal LCD screen is horrible. Besides, they have to do something about
the major gulf in price betweem the 140 and 170. The 145 will make the
140 the low end machine, after they drop the 100.

I really don't think we'll see the SE revived.

Just got word on the Aug 1 price drop.  It appears to be some kind of
back to school special.  Not clear what happens outside schools.

Classic II 4/40 - $1049
LC II 4/80 - $1320
IIsi 5/80 - $1654
PB 140 4/40 - $1776

I imagine this is a prelude to Apple replacing their mid-range line in
a few months.  The IIsi is the only machine that interests me.  The
reduction is $561, plus they throw in the extended keyboard.

Sure!  Check out the Radius Pivot-LC or Pivot SE/30 interface.  They will
give you black&white or four shades of gray, and are expandable to 256 grays.
The 2-bit (four grays) board retails for (US) $299, and the 8-bit board
retails for (US) $599.

These boards will drive an Apple 12", Apple 13", Apple Portrait, Radius Full
Page, Radius Pivot, Radius Color Pivot, or Apple 16" display.  There are also
NuBus and IIsi versions.

According to InfoWorld magazine, here are the Mac models slated for Oct.

Mac IIzi:	33MHz 030, onboard 24-bit, 3 slots, built-in CD-ROM
Powerbook 1:	16MHz 030, mono passive-matrix display, 4MB RAM
Powerbook 2:	25MHz 030, 16-gray passive-matrix, 40/80 HD, 4MB RAM
Powerbook 3:	33MHz 030, 16-gray active-matrix, 80HD, 4MB RAM
Docking Station:Adds external video and 2 nubus slots for a 25MHz 030
		powerbook.

Apple is reportedly deciding whether or not to introduce the docking
station as well as a color version of the high-end Powerbook.  The two
high-end systems here 'may ship for less than $3000'  according to the
usual 'sources.'   Salt to taste; I have no idea of the (in)accuracy of
this information.  Reprinted without permission from InfoWorld Magazine,
July 27th, p8.  Sorry guys!
