Yes! what you are saying is absolutey true, but what you fail to mention is the
fact that the LCIII uses the new 72 pin simms which allow 32 bit access to
each simm. In the case of the LC III, it only has one simm slot, but accesses will
be 32 bits wides.

 Re: HELP INSTALL RAM ON CENTRIS 610
Organization: University of Virginia
Lines: 8

	I had asked everyone about problems installing a 4 meg
simm and an 8 meg simm in my Centris 610, but the folks at the
local Apple store called the folks in Cupertino and found that
you can't have simms of different speeds in one machine, even
if they are both fast enough - ie - My 80 ns 8 meg and 60ns 4
meg simms were incompatibable...  Just thought people might
want to know.....

Sorry about the misinformation.  I made a bad assumption about
the new machines behaving like a Quadra 900, see previous
post.  About sampling the CD audio though, have you tried it?  I 
found the aliasing to be really bad.  Like it needed a filter or something.
Much worse than I expected.  I installed the CD-300 in the 
Quadra myself so maybe I missed something.  Everything else
works great though.

 Replacing internal FDHD w/ floptical?
Organization: the Syllabub Sea
Lines: 13
NNTP-Posting-Host: cs.utexas.edu

Hi all,  

I have a IIsi with a floppy drive that might be bad )  If the drive is not easily
reparable, I'd like to replace it with an _internal_ floptical.  Can this
be easily done?  Can it be done at all?  

I'm assuming that floptical drives can read and write both 800k and 1.4k
floppies.  If this is not in fact true, please tell me.

Thanks in advance,

 Re: IIsi clock upgrade
Organization: Idaho State University, Pocatello
Lines: 47

Hi, I have been getting a lot of requests for this information so I thought
I would post it for those interested parties. .

To increase the MacIISi speed to 25MHz or 33MHz the clock must be changed
from 40MHz to 50MHz or 64MHz respectively.
This is done by going to a static-free work station or putting some
aluminum foil down to work on.
	1. Open up the Si by lifting the tabs at the back of the case.
	2. Remove the Hard Disk by disconnecting the power and SCSI cables,
		spreading the tabs, and lifting the drive out.
	3. Remove the flopy drive.
	4. Remove the power supply by spreading the tab in front and lifting
		the supply straight up and out.
	5. Remove the fan by pressing the ears together at the back, bottom
		side of the fan and lifting straight up and out.
	6. Remove the Mother Board by spreading the tabs on the left and
		right side of the board and sliding the board forward then
		lifting the board out. 
	7. Desolder the 40MHz clock .
		This is not easy even for a skilled solderer.
	8. Get an IC socket with the round pins and remove four of the pins
		by pushing them up from the bottom with long nose pliers.
	9. Put the four pins in the holes vacated by the clock and solder 
		them in.
	10.Insert a 50MHz or 64MHz clock.
	11.Put large power transistor heat sink's on the processor chip and 
		the other large chip just to the right of the processor and
		figure some way to hold the heat sync's in place. I made a
		simple clamp by putting a four inch screw up through the hole
		in the board between the two chips. Mount the screw using
		insulated washers. Screw a cross member down over the heat
		sync's to hold them in place. Don't use too much pressure.

	12. Put it all back together and go-for-it.

Disclaimer: this is only the procedure I used and is not authorized by anyone.
	    You are on your own for this procedure. I'm quite sure it will
	    void your warentee.

 Re: Quadra 700 Sound
Organization: University of Tasmania, Australia.
Lines: 23



	The Quadra 700 goes thru extensive initalize routines of its hardware,
read's PRAM, obtains all info from last session including the volume
setting, and then executes the sound procedure for the startup sound, and
wait's on the SCSI controller to respond to the boot up code.


If the DRAM produces an error, or a registers cannot be read from a device,
or the device corrupts that address/data or control paths, then if it is
possible, the firmware branchs to another sound routine that produces the 
'sad mac' sound.


This is a general breifing of the start up procedure of a typical mac.
If you cannot control the volume of the quadra, even at boot up, then i feel
there is something incorrect with the logic board. 

My Quadra 700 does not show the problems you are having.

I currently use an HP DeskJet with Grappler LS ver 1.0, 
and it works on System7.  Course, I only use the SWA Dutch
and SWA Swiss fonts that came with it, due to the 4x size
requirement to print to the HP.   When I upgraded,  I talked to Orange
Micro, and they state that ver 1.2 of Grappler LS definitely
works with System7.  However, the upgrade was US$40, so I
passed.

Hope this helps?

    You must not have tried very hard. I just opend mine in about 2
seconds. Take a look on the bottom, it has a dial that turns to open
much like the older ADB mouses used to have. It's a bit harder to turn
at first but it is quite simple to open.

    Well, if you don't match up the pins correctly you will have some

both come with 10 misc. CDROMs... Things like a "Intro to Nautilis", a sample CD

Because SCSI works well with removable media, and works well with large

it doesn't have any hooks for dealing with the latter... you'd have to kludge
it. Plus, it's extremely low performance. AND, SCSI has gobs of room for
expansion compared with a floppy .

Mac sound hardware is diverse; some macs play in stereo and
mix the output  while others play in
stereo but ONLY has the left channel for the speaker, while
some are "truly" mono 

Developers know that stuff played in the left channel is
guaranteed to be heard, while the right channel isn't. Some
send data to both, some only send data to the left channel

The original poster  posted an item saying that he had bought a new
wizz-bang Laser Printer from Apple  which can print
GrayScale. He then said that he CANNOT PRINT GRAYSCALE from his SE computer
.

This is the one major bugbear about doing a 3rd party SE upgrade : you will never be able to run Color Quickdraw. It
is Color Quickdraw that controls Color AND Grayscale.

SEs CAN print some COLOUR: this is because Quickdraw - the original, non-colour
version, has the right hooks for eight colours. Some of you will remember the
'SCSIgraph' solution to getting a colour screen for your SE .

There is no reason that Apple couldn't release software patches for older
computers  - but they wont, and 3rd parties are having a difficult 
time in duplicating the Mac's ROMs .

Just one Caveat: I would have thought that if you were printing a POSTSCRIPT
Grayscale image onto a POSTSCRIPT Grayscale printer, that you would be able to
do so, whatever Mac you were using. .

the Q700 will only do 8bit or 24bit color.  if you want the higher

for a 21" monitor, you can get 8bit max.

  What you need is a hardware router such as EtherRoute/TCP made by
Compatable Systems .  This will allow you to connect your Localtalk
network  to your Ethernet network .  It will
route TCP/IP protocol between the two networks.  Software routers are also
available for less money, but I'm not sure if they work with TCP/IP.
