  If found the manual, but it doesn't contain a wiring diagram for
  the feeder options.  :-(  You can save yourself the trouble and
  money of finding a copy.

  When I get a chance, I'll try to find a cable, and throw a
  multimeter at it.  We have two, I think... but multi-bin
  feeders, not envelope feeders.  Should be the same, I hope.

  Good luck,

I have a lunker Blue star tower 386. It has a 6 switch DIP next to the SIMM
sockets, which appears to control memory enabling.

the ROM/BIOS diagnostic/config options doesn't have extended options, and
I can't get 8Mb recognized at boot time. 4Mb or 2Mb is fine.

Anybody know the DIP switch settings to enable an upper 4MB of memory?

Hello people.

Well XMAS has come and gone and so has my spare money. To remedy this 
situation, I want to sell some of my software purchases. Currently, I have 
only 3 titles for sale, 2 in VERY GOOD Condition, and the final one in 
MINT condition. 

	Spell caster 301 - Spring break: Adventure / grapic game in 256 VGA

	Rex Nebular : Great Graphic adventure also in 256 vga

	and finally

	F-15 Strike Eagle III : Just released. Great graphics!!


These games usually retail for $80, $90 and $100 respectively.
But I am willing to let them go for $20 cheaper each or nearest offer. Let 
me hear from you. I am in Canberra.

Bye

  Try hooking pin 2 on the printer to pin 3 on the feeder.

  We are SURE we have one, somewhere!  Problem is, it is most
  likely in the box at the bottom of a stack!  We're in the middle

  I'll post information when we find it.

Hi all.

I have heard about a 386sx chip brought out by IBM called the 386slc.  I think
it's supposed to be pin compatible with the 386sx.  If this is true does that
mean that I can pull out my 16MHz 386sx chip and plug this in?  I believe
it has an onboard cache (2K) and some instruction optimisations, causing its
performance to be comparable to a full 386, etc...

Can anyone help me here?

Thanks.

Love that acronym :^)

Whilst my own participation will depend upon the millions of usual 
factors (time etc.) this sounds like a great idea. i also agree about the
plethora of "quality" (i.e. flavour-of-the-month) products going around.

I`ve been meaning to ask that question on aus.aarnet,which is probably
the more appropriate group (perhaps aus.archives?). My *guess* is the
archivers don`t have the disk space available as info-mac fills up its
new big disks. Then again the archives have grown much yet, so there is
probably some other simple reason. I feel slightly guilty wasting
satellite bandwidth accessing info-mac directly.

Well I have yet another printer problem. I can successfully see and 
print to printers in other zones and vice versa but now when we 
receive a document to our printer which comes from another zone 
(across a router over an ISDN line) we have the document printing 
out in mirror image. It prints back the front, like the ISDN line is 
reversing everything. The spelling, layout etc. are right but it 
just prints out as a mirror image. Any ideas out there as to why ?
They are Pagemaker and Quark Express documents - could this have 
something to do with it ?
Maybe it is the printer drivers ? We use a HP Laserjet III and the 
other zone uses a LaserWriter II NTX and a QMS-PS 815, but we are 
all now using the Apple general laserwriter driver.
Does anyone else use QExpress/Pagemaker and print across zones? 
Thanks in advance for any contributions.

G'day

I had a conversation with a friend the other day about the gloomy possibility
that there won't be a developers conference AGAIN this year.

It went something like:
- Apple put on the conference
- All official Apple presentations must be to a very high standard
  (multimedia-ed to death, etc.)
- conclusion: Apple Australia can't afford a conference.

Now, apart from the valued contribution of Apple in bringing over US
personnel, one of the best aspects of a conference is getting together all
the developers.

There are also a lot of people in Australia who can put on informative
sessions at a conference.

So, I suggest we start seriously considering putting on our own 
developer conference. For an organising body, how about:
Macintosh
Australian
Developers
Moderately
Affordable
Confrence
Society.

In the end I received 4 different programs, all of which can do the job.
Of them all, I found UULite 1.4 to be the best.  I just leave it on my desktop
and drag batchs of files on to it (under system 7) and it asks me ONCE where to 
put this batch of files, and then decodes them with no fuss.  It also allows
you to set the creator and file types of the resulting files (really handy).

Recently (4 months) got the following software, I no longer have a
professional need for them (and I need the cash!):

Swivel 3D Professional 1.573L  -- Great modeller! Very fast. (I used this in
my commercial work with great results).  Complete with orignal box, manuals &
 disks.  October MacNews advertised this $850.  October Aust MacWorld
advertised this $995.  Will sell, complete with shipping in Australia, for
only $490.  First in, first served!

Macromind Director 3.1  -- THE presentation/multimedia package for the Mac.
Latest version.  Create stand-alone applications or display your interactive
presentation within Hypercard or Supercard.  Excellent package.  Complete with
 original box, manuals (there are a LOT), disks and warranty/registration card
 (hey, I got lazy!).  November MacNews (page 111) advertises this for $1590.
Will sell, complete with shipping in Australia, for only $1190!!!

For more info, give me a ring anytime on Adelaide (08) 296 3128.
