Re: Mounts second time only...

In the fine world of SCSI driver loading there can be instances of 
SCSI driver conflicts that may prevent a driver from loading during boot.

You may be experiencing this if the driver you want to load (from your
external disk) is at a SCSI id that is lower than another existing 
SCSI device (i.e. if you have too different external SCSI drives...say
at SCSI id=6 and id=3...a driver conflict may prevent the id=3 device
driver from loading).  You can test this scenerio by turning off all 
devices with SCSI id's that are higher than the device that is giving you 
trouble and then rebooting...if the troubled device loads you may have 
found your problem.

Sometimes switching the SCSI id of a device on the chain can affect 
how/if the devices driver will load (the Macintosh SCSI manager searches
from SCSI id=6 thru to id=0 ...external bus first if there are two buses)

Well, I tried 401 and 402 but the clock just does not appear in the menu bar
at all.  I'm back on 391 and that works OK.  Anyone else have this problem?

I'm running a IIci sys 7.  Two monitors:  One standard apple color 8 bit.
One large radius monochrome.  The menu bar is on the color screen and the
monochrome is located to the left of the color.

Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1993 21:25:00 GMT


I was having problems launching documents in the Finder.  I tried
rebuilding the desktop a few times and running MacTools DiskFix,
and Disk First Aid but they did not cure the problem.  Eventually,
I booted the computer (][ci, 80 Mb HD) with Sys7 on a floppy.
Then immediately after I rebooted the drive allowing the HD Sys7
to load.  It automatically began rebuilding the desktop.  I was
then able to launch applications via the documents that created
them.

Does anyone know what the difference is between the rebuilding
of the desktop that I did (holding down option-command on
startup) and the automatic rebuild that the ][ci forced on
itself?  Please note that the automatic rebuild only occured
*after* a previous boot with Sys7 on a floppy.

Should I worry that something worse may go wrong again related to
this problem?


More details:
Double-clicking on a document icon (such as MS Word or
Cricket Graph) did not launch the application.  Instead the
system gave me an error message - application not found.

This problem affected documents from every application I tested.
However, I could launch the application itself by clicking on it.
I could also launch the application by clicking on an alias of
that application.


Any information is appreciated.

Hi, I was wondering if anybody that uses Supercard has experienced
troubles on System 7.  One thing that has held me back from moving
from 6.0.7 is that Supercard would bomb under multifinder sometimes
and in System 7 you don't have the option of a plain finder.  Is 
this a legitimate fear?

	Hi All,

	I was wondering if anyone could answer a question about
	my IIsi. I just added a Daystar Cache Card and Duel Port
	Adapter to my IIsi. After putting the cover back on, my
	sound stopped working. When I switched the card in and out,
	the sound would sometimes be on, sometimes be off. It did not
	seem to matter whether the card was in or out. I then tried
	to hook up headphones and they seemed to work although the
	sound only comes out one side. Shouldn't it come out both?
	I thought the IIsi had stereo output.  The beeps that the 
	Mac generates come out both channels but games (such as Hellcats)
	only come out one side...The sound also has some static sometimes.

	Any theories as to what happened? I know the IIsi has some 
	speaker problems. A repair place here in town was telling me that 
	I probably have a bad sound chip and that it would be $250 to fix it. 
	I think a just broke a weld putting the cover back on but I do not
	know. I did wear a grounding strap and was very cautious of static
	when I installed the card. Any and all theories would be welcome. 
	Please e-mail if possible. Thanks!

I had this same problem, but you may not like my fix.  It happened when I  
had both the TrueType and bitmap versions of Monaco in the System file.  I  
removed the TrueType Monaco and everything's been fine. I'm not sure  
whether the problem was in the TrueType font or in the coexistence of both

Try deleting the file "Appleshare PDS" file at the root of your hard disk
and restart.  You'll need something like ResEdit to unlock the file and
make it visible on the desktop.  Then, drag it to the trash and restart.

This'll be simple...I just have two gripes about System 7 that I'd like to
air.

1) The "Emptying Trash" dialog is the most annoying thing I've _EVER_ seen
in my life! I know there are programs that work around it (CopyDoubler,
for one) but it would be _so_ nice, in the "Get Info" dialog, to have
a check box that says "Verbose empty" (which would put up a dialog before
emptying trash, and put up the emptying trash dialog).

2) This is just a little thing, but the new version of Namer only works on
Laserwriter products. But our school has 6 AppleTalk ImageWriters, and the
Namer doesn't recognize them! I realize we can dig out our older copies to
use, but it still shows a little lack of foresight on Apple's part.

Hi,

 My parents are using an old HP Think Jet printer on their LC. They have an
 old driver (Jet Start) written by SoftStyle(?).  The driver used to work
with 
 a Plus and a very old System (4 or 5?).  This was in 1986.Under System 
 7.0.1, the driver complains of resources not found (error -192) and
requires
 playing with margins to get it to print correctly. We have been unable to 
 contact the driver authors for an upgrade. They appear to be out of
business. 

 This brings me to my question. I saw an ad for Grappler by Orange Micro. 
 The ad  claims that Grappler supports the Think Jet. Is anyone using
Grappler
 with  a Think Jet? I'd like to hear any comments regarding your
configuration
 and how well it works. Thanks.

This is a the most common FAQ (frequently asked question) I know of.  When
you turn 32 bit off, the most memory that can be used is 8 MB.  Since you
have 20 MB installed, 12 MB can't be used under the 24-bit Memory Manager.
The excess memory is added to the amount of memory the System is actually
using.  Hence, you'll see more than 12 MB for the System.

Update your programs and use the 32-bit Memory Manager.

When you fire up the external hard drive, it takes some time before it can be
registered on the SCSI bus. In the meantime, you internal hard drive has done
its thing and has failed to recognize the external.  On the re-boot, you've
now allowed enough time to go by for the external to send out it's "I'm here"
message, so you see the drive.
As for solutions, definitely the best fix is the program SCSI-Probe which can
be set up to go out to the SCSI bus during the boot and to locate - and mount
- any SCSI devices it finds.

I have the same problem on my PowerBook 100.  Apparently the problem

We're all so used to hearing this question that several people failed to
notice an important anomaly: the original post indicated that the ci had 20
megs of RAM, and that with 32-bit addressing off, the system occupied nearly
16 megs of memory. If this is true, something strange is going on.The 24-bit
limitation should bloat the system up to 12 megs, but not more. 

Anyone have further suggestions?
