I have a Macland Syquest 44 MByte drive, which has a busted power supply.
Unfortunately, most power supplies are too big to fit into the case, so I was
wondering if anybody knew any place which sold appropriate supplies.  Stats:
  Size: 3W X 5L X 1.5H (al in inches)
  Output: +5 2A, +12 2.5A (a little more wouldn't hurt, I suppose)
Thanks

That's not true.  The Performas do not have FPUs
*as standard equipment*, but the Performa 600, at 
least, will have an optional FPU available.

I have heard vicious rumors that Apple is selling their ROMs. I currently
have a MAC IIx (no sniggering in the cheap seats) with 128K ROMs. Now, i've
got a 32 bit processor in there, and 4M of RAM - i'm running a 32 bit OS
(sys 7) and would REALLY like to upgrade my ROM to the 32 bit clean ones.

1) Does anyone know how to get Apple to sell me such a set of ROMs.

2) Are there any know compatibility problems, or can i just slot them and
  go (once i do manage to lay my grubby little paws on them...)

Is it possible to add "ON LINE TEXT" to a video signal on a Mac. There is no need to save the video data on hard disk but the video input and output should work in real time.

Does anybody know a SW/HW combination that can do that?

Thanks for help, Bruno.

Please reply E-mail, and FAST!

I've got a Borrowed LC 10/40 running System 7 w/12" RGB monitor.

Problem: I was adjusting the "VIEWS" setup control panel and suddenly
the computer froze. Okay, so I restart. Problem now is, I get the 
"Happy Mac" face, then I get a disk with a question mark (?) through it,
and nothing happens. How- I've had this happen once before (eons ago)
and I seem to remembed someone mentioning a CORRUPT SYSTEM FILE.
Reinstalling the system software fixed it. 

Answer: Could someone EMAIL me telling me if this is the problem?
Unfortunately, I was a fool and didn't bring the system disks WITH me, but
I just want to make sure that all I need to do is a re-install of the
system.
Thanks a lot!

Is this "No, nobody can speculate." or "No, A/UX won't run." :)

Seriously, is it that that Apple won't sell/support A/UX on a Performa 600
or does A/UX simply not work? Could someone tell or hint at the
reason that A/UX would not run.

I don't care to try A/UX on a Performa 600, but if it doesn't work, 
I suspect other features waiting to bite me in the dark!

I have had a similar problem with our MacLC.  I accidentally discovered
Erling's temporary remedy and used that with ... temporary success.

Recently, I put in 2 X 4 Mb chips (replacing the 2 X 1 Mbs) and since
then (1 month) the sound has yet to go out on me.  This doesn't make sense
but I'm not worrying about it too much.

So, do the rest of you have 10 Mb (only 8 with 24 bit, I know) in your
Macs?  Maybe it all that dust removal that was really the solution? :-)

with several levels of memory (RAM & HDrive).

I have one that has 14 megs RAM, 120 MB hard drive, and screams  PAST

I am just a very happy customer.



Call them directly at 1-800-444-4607, ask for the literature and

see for yourself.  There have also been reports in MacUser about them.

It has standard features like 25 pin SCSI (not 29 like Apple), standard

camcorder 12v battery available everywhere, and more ...



You owe it to yourself to check.  I'm mighty glad I  DID  !!!!

OK folks, I just bought a Mac SE. it has 4 megs RAM, 20 meg
hard drive and the SuperDrive. I want to use it as a small
Mac BBS. I also have a Quadra 700 20/160 with the following:

1) Sony SMO (300 megs r/w per side) [SCSI interface]

2) NEC CDAR36 cd rom drive [SCSI interface]

3) WangDAT 1300 4mm tape backup [SCSI interface]

4) TwinComm 14.4 kbps fax/data modem

5) Panasonic KXP4450 Laser Partner (tm) laser printer. SErial/parallel
   printer interfaces only - no Apple Talk interface.


Now, I want to place the bbs sw (Hermes 2.0 I believe) on the internal
hard drive in the SE. I would like to place the fax/data modem on
the SE also. So, using the Printer port on the SE with the LocalTalk
connector, leaves the serial port for the modem.

I want to put the Panasonic laser printer on the serial port of the
Q700. And the LocalTalk connector on the printer port of the Q700.

I want to put the CD rom drive on the SE's scsi so that the BBS can
access it quickly.

I want to put the Sony SMO and the WangDAT tape drive on the Q700's
SCSI port.

Now for the Questions:

1) Since neither printer nor modem have an AppleTalk hw interface,
   how do I access the laserprinter from the SE, or the modem from
   the Q700? I have the two macs working through AppleTalk and can
   access my MicroPhone program on the Q700 from the SE, but it won't
   dial out the serial port on the Q700 when uPhone is run on the SE.
   Something about printing.

2) Can Hermes access partitions on the Sony SMO on the Q700 thru
   the AppleTalk network? Should be able to .

3) Can I use the WangDAT on the Q700 to backup files on the SE?

I guess my biggest need to use both the modem and the laser printer
from either mac, but since neither has an Appletalk interface I am
lost. I could buy a Shiva NetSErial interface for both but the Shiva
NetSerial's are $300 apiece!! Kinda expensive. But it seems that since
I have an unused serial port on the Q700 and the SE, I should be able to
use them for the modem and the printer.

  Yep.

  You can even use it when you are running on the battery.  It'll suck some

I am considering a Daystar 33 or 40MHz 68030 for my SE/30 (the version
that reqires me to send in my logic board and live without it for about
2 weeks :-(

I already have 17MB RAM, RasterOps 264/30 video card, and a Maxtor
LXT-340S harddisk internal, and a Gravis mousestick + MacRecorder.
Can I add a powercache without worrying about the power consumption ?
Anybody knows how much power the harddisk+RAM+video takes ?

My roomate just got a Mac 512 from her dad.  I know, "Gee, Thanks Dad!"  
I wanted to hook up an external 40MB hard drive to it so that she could at 
least use the thing, but I noticed that it doesn't have a SCSI interface. 

My question is: Is it possible to put the motherboard from a Mac+ into a 512?  
How much would a "upgrade" like that cost?  Does she have any other options? 

Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Dan
