Hi there!  Could some kind soul tell me what is the price of LC/IIvi/IIvx compatible 512kb VRAM SIMMs in the US nowadays? The price over here (Finland) is so ridiculously high (about $185 each in USD) that I think it is worth the trouble to try to get them overseas.  Thanks
Hello!  I have a SE/30 and a Generation Systems 8bit PDS card for a 17" screen. It worked great until I upgraded from 5 to 20 mb ram. Now with Sys7.1 and MODE32 or 32enabler it does not boot..  a tech support person said the card does not support these 32bit fixes.  BUT: when pressing the shift key while booting (when the ext. monitor goes black after having been grey) the system  SOMETIMES boots properly!! and then works ok with the 20mb and full graphics.  WHAT's HAPPENING???  Thanks a lot for any advice!!! please answer by mail.

Help!!!  I have an ADB graphicsd tablet which I want to connect to my Quadra 950. Unfortunately, the 950 has only one ADB port and it seems I would have to give up my mouse.  Please, can someone help me? I want to use the tablet as well as the mouse (and the keyboard of course!!!).  Thanks in advance.

is it possible to fit an FPU in a mac SE?  (not a SE/30, but the plain old SE);  if possible,  would I get any speed increase?  what would be the reference of the chip?  thanks in advance,

It featured repeated lies about when things had shipped, a salesperson who was totally ignorant about what he was selling, a charge for duties I had specifically been assured were not payable and then a monitor (their house brand 2-page monochrome) that was the most unadulterated piece of junk it has ever been my misfortune to experience in the world of electronics.  I shipped it back and they refunded my money, but it still cost me something over $200 for long distance charges, non-refundable taxes and duties and lost time.
I have heard that the version 7.2 printer driver is out for the apple laserwriter ls.  Has ayone heard of how or where to get this driver.

We're all set to buy one of these for the office, to use for scanning in color photographs and for optical character recognition.  We've played with the original grayscale OneScanner and were very pleased.  Is the color model comparable in quality?  Also, what brand of OCR software would you recommend?  We're leaning toward Caere OmniPage.  Any better ideas?  Thanks.

Nec Toshiba and Sony (Apple) nearly deliver the same speed. As apples prices are very low (compared to there RAM SIMMS) You should buy what is inexpencive. But think of Driver revisions.

Demand for the units are high, so they are pretty rare.  I've seen them   listed for around $525-550 at local computer stores and the campus Mac   reseller.  I've also heard rumors that they are bundled with a couple of CD's,   but I can't confirm it.
I'm thinking about upgrading my 030 50MHz to the 040 33version.  Has anyone had any experience with the accelerator, and if so - what do you think? Any problems, what are the speedometer results?, is it much faster than the 50MHz?  Basically, I'd appreciate hearing all about this product.  Please respond via email, and I'll summarize if there's a big response.  thanks in advance, Andrew
Hi. I am looking into buying a Floptical Drive, and was wondering what   experience people have with the drives from Iomega, PLI, MASS MicroSystems,   or Procom. These seem to be the main drives on the market. Any advice?  Also, I heard about some article in MacWorld (Sep '92, I think) about   Flopticals. Could someone post a summary, if they have it?  Thanks in advance. (Reply by post or email, whichever you prefer.)  --Nizam  --
I have a PLP II laser printer make by GCC Technologies.  I have problem with a dirty first page.  The top portion of the first is always smeared with black toner across the page.  If I print more than one page at the  same time, the problem does not occur on other pages.  I cleaned the printer but still does not help.  Can anyone offer any solutions? or know the phone # to GCC Technologies?  Thanks in advance  Charles,

Looking for a Mac PB 100 that's in good condition (brand new, w/warranty would be ideal).  It should also include the external floppy drive and have at least a 40 MEG internal hard drive with 4 MEG of RAM.  So... if you have a PB100 that you'd like to turn into cash, please write me.  Thanks, very much.

When I got my lowly classic II, the options were 40 or 80M harddrives, and it was clear that buying another 40M of harddrive space  would cost *much* more than the difference in price between the two config- uartions.  There is an analogous break in the LCIII/80 and 160 prices, and  you will not regret spending the extra money for a larger harddrive.    Particularly if you ever wind up wanting to use SoftPC, which sets up a several-MB (up to 30!) partition, or if you are generating large files  with DTP software, or if you might ever want to check out a mac unix-like  os, like MachTen, having the extra space will be helpful.  when you are  pricing used IIci's, look at the harddrive size they come with, and how much it would cost you to add more storage down the road... (Might be a  useful bargaining strategy even if you see no reason to go over 80M, though I must admit that I am such a packrat that within 6 months of getting my  computer, I was backing up a lot of stuff to floppies that I rarely use to  because I was running out of space, without having started using DTP stuff,  softPC or trying any unix os!)
I need to add to your message. I have a major problem on my hands.  I have a Rodime 60+ (series RO3000T) external hard drive.  Rodime is out of business,  and not writing any more drivers.  In particular, drivers  compatable with system 7.1.  After talking to Rodime,  they recommended the following Hard drive manufacturers  and their driver software that were compatable:   SCSI Hard drive manufacturer            Driver Software ----------------------------            ---------------- FWB                                     Hard disk tool kit FWB                                     Hard disk tool kit - personal La Cie                                  Silverlining 5.2 or higher Casa Blanca Driver Software             Drive7   If anybody has experience with these driver software packages, please reply. If there is shareware out there, I would like to get my hands on it.  I would much rather send a good developer the $25 or so, because most of the software I mentioned, if purchased, would cost $125, $49, $149, and $49 respectively.  Thanks in advance.

So I finally decided to risk this upgrade, FAQ in hand I've gathered the pieces together.  The only problem is that I haven't been able to find anyone who's even heard of thermal tape/glue (which is what the FAQ recommends for attaching the heat sink)  I am just tempted to use duct tape here.... anyone hae any ideas for me for attaching the heat sink to the processor??  much thanks.

At least, Marvin's friend has not been able to : locate one and neither have I.  What is the fundamental reason for : this?  I think that there do exist NuBus expansion cages (I'm sure I've seen them advertised occassionally), but I think that the main problem is that they cost much more than the difference in price between say a LC and IIvx so unless you need lots of NuBus slots its not worth the bother.  (Of course, it may be that these extra boxes are so expensive because no one buys them because they are so expensive...)  NuBus technology isn't a special Apple Proprietry thing (I have this sneaky feeling that it is licensed from Texas Instruments???) so there is no problem building an expansion box.  The difference between NuBus and PDS is that NuBus is a clever interface with lots of neat toys built in to make sure that lots of cards can work together on the same computer. PDS (processor direct slot) is just that: here are all the connections to the processor. You can do anything with this and it is as quick as it can be, but there's no cooperation. You may be able to get double PDS slot adaptors but you try plugging 2 video cards in, and just watch them conflict! Of course, the extra  electronics in a NuBus slot makes it appreciably more expensive, so guess why Apple doesn't put it in it's cheaper machines?  So, yah pays yer money and yah takes yah choice.
According to the official documentation, failure to use the IIfx terminator can not only affect SCSI bus performance but can also damage the bus. Whether this is your problem or not I don't know. I have had sporadic SCSI problems with my IIfx since I bought it. (I cannot connect more than three devices, fourth one causes major problems).  First thing to do is to try to reformat your drive on someone elses system. If you continue to get errors it is probably the drive. If it formats fine then I would try to format it on your system with no externals. If this  fails then the SCSI controller on your IIfx needs repair/replacement.  Hope this helps.

Two things:  first, in MacWherehouse, btheÿy have PowerUser network connectors, and the caption leads you to belÿûieve that you can plug them into the phone lines in the building and have them work.  Is this true?  I've seen it done by running sepÿerate phone cords, but never with real lines.  Second, if that does work, could you use a modem ÿhooked up to that same line while the network was active?  Help would be greatly appriciated.

There's only one physical size for VRAM SIMMs (unlike DRAM SIMMs which  come in many, many sizes and pinouts), although they do come with  differing amounts of VRAM on them.

Can someone please help me understand the current situation regarding SIMMS?  I have a IIsi which I will probably keep for another 2 years.  I would like to add more memory, ie go from 5 MB to 17 MB.  I know that I will need 4 x 4MB, 80ns or faster SIMMS.  Which SIMMS, 30 pin or 72 pin? Would the SIMMS I get today be usable in 2 years with a  newer, more powerful system?  Any insight would be appreciated.  Thanks.  Rob
