I have the same problem with VersaTerm on my ci even though I don't have a
Rocket. What I do have is a Shiva Lanrover, which I use for network
dialout. When I use the LanRover, things are fine. When I try to bypass
the LanRover to access our local VAX, I have the same problem you mentioned.
Is your modem directly attached or is it a netmodem?

The only difference between the PC model and the Mac model is the interface
kit. The PC kit has the software, cable and a card. The Mac kit has the
software, SCSI cable and no more. Tigersoft and other places sell the drive
(power cord included) without any interface kit. I suppose you can use your
own SCSI cable, and FWB CD-Toolkit.

7.11 Laserwriter minimizes problems with IIg, but there must be
an error in the ROM's because some really heavy kerning problems
occur - try forced block set (excuse by bad english) - you can see
the letters fly really randomly along the line!!! Hey PM 4.2 don't uses
much code from the LaserWriter driver, the most of the dictionaries
it uses are placed in the aldus prep.

BTW in Quark this problem I havn't seen that, only in PM 4.2
    in PM 4.01 the problem is not so heavy - why?

Actually, there is a plastic latch that holds the power supply down. It is
at the corner towards the middle of the machine and a couple of inches
down towards the motherboard (there is also a screw down there that you
need to take out to remove the drives to get at the SIMM sockets)

The plastic latch needs to be pryed towards the front of the machine about
an eighth of an inch at the bottom.

There is a similar but much larger latch that holds the drives in. It is at
the side panel (top panel if your machine is on edge).

Good luck!

Check out the Global Village Teleport/Gold.  I just got one and really
like it for both Data & Fax.

They can be had for as low as $349 through a variety of discount plans
(I got mine at this price because I owned another Teleport product

The easiest way is to plug in an external SuperDrive (before you startup, of

The current deal on IIsi's for govie employees is bundled
with an Apple 14" monitor. I don't know anything about
this monitor, as our Mac procurements seem to be coming
in with NEC 3fgx's and the like.

The Apple Catalog said, 14", 640x480, .70 dot pitch (?)

Is this monitor any good, or is it an el-cheapo VGA
adaptation? Any comments would be appreciated.
Is it Trinitron? Is it junk? Who makes it?

For that matter, does anyone have reviews of the latest

Apple 14" has a sony trinitron tube. the sony 14" monitor has the same tube.
But the strange thing is that you can find the same tube in the apple 13".

The problem is that Apple has tried to be honnest with the size of their monitor but they cannot support unfair concurrence. Sony claims that its 14" is a 14", but it has the same tube that the apple 13".
you should mesure yourself and you will see.

I think that the 13" is better than the 14" (I have said I think) because the 13" has a protection against magnetic field, and the 14" doesn't.

The difference of price is a question of design and MARKETING(I think).

I have this also on a Classic II 4/80 with the same system as you.  It
is exactly as you describe it.  It also occurs on many/most of our
25-machine teaching lab (with IIci 5/80 machines, with the same system
and tuneup).

I just receive SimCity Supreme (v. 1.4) for Christmas (yes, it came early
this year :-), and the problem seemed ATROCIOUS on my Classic II--in
fact, if I clicked on a SimCity scrollbar and it took off and didn't 
register my up-click, moving off of the clicked area (the scrollbar 
arrow in this case) did NOT stop it (as it does with Finder windows 
and most other windows and buttons).  Also, the problem seems to
occur much more frequently in SimCity.  I haven't tried it on the IIci's
to see if it's worse there (they seem more stable than my Classic
II for certain things).

I haven't checked with Apple, but then they were unaware of the ADB 
Standard Keyboard II ghost-Delete problem also.

I posted a message on Conf. 3, Board 10 (Message #4106), noting that I've
found a single click of the mouse attached to my IIsi at work intermittantly
acts as if it were instead a click-and-drag.  And that I'd changed mice, but
the problem persisted.

Four other IIsi users confirmed that they also have had the same problem.  So
it's apparently a problem in the IIsi.

I thought before I contacted Apple that I'd see if an officer of the WAP would
prefer to do so.  My thinking is that the Pi would probably get a quicker and
more complete response than an individual user.

Opinions, anyone?

For the IIcx this is true since many IIcx's do not have a socketed
CPU but rather soldered.  If your CPU is socketed you can do it
yourself but otherwise not.  Only the IIci doesn't require an adapter
for the PowerCache to work because it just drops in the cache slot which
the IIcx doesn't have.

The only thing I've learned so far is that the Sony apparently will work
with the IIci onboard video but only in 640-480 resolution. To increase
the real estate visible on the screen you apparently need to add a video
card.

Does anyone have any other information about this or which monitor is
best?

Thanks again for any help.
