There are several programs on sumex that allow Macs with superdrives to read and write unix tar diskettes. --- --

System 7.1 should not have that problem, for most people the  solution was to get an updated driver from the drive manufactor.  In my case MASS Microsystems wrote a new driver which fixed the problem on my Quadra 700, all that occured early last year.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between a 256K DRAM chip and a 256K SIMM? I need the former (I think) to add memory to my Laserwriter LS. Someone is offering to sell me 256K SIMMS he removed from an SE, but I have a feeling this may not be the correct form of memory. The sockets in the Laserwriter look like they want the spidery-shaped chips (there are 4 sockets, each with, as I recall, 20 pins, arranged in two rows of 10). Believe it or not, I've never actually seen a SIMM. Help appreciated.

My recently modified Quadra 700 with a socket for clock oscillators has now completed nearly 40 hours of error free operation at 32 mhz (with a 64 mhz clock oscillator). I have also tried a 55 mhz CMOS clock and that works as well. On the more stupid side, I've discovered you can use a 40 mhz clock and make your Q700 as slow as a Centris 610. However, a 25 mhz clock which would have yielded a 12.5 mhz Quadra 700 (Who'd want one?) didn't work at all.

Gee, nice of them to tell us.  Like, how about a Gestalt response bit for the GestaltPowerManagerAttributesFoodSpreadProduct selector?  Well, at least now I know why it doesn't work (I assume; I 'm using a PB 145).
I'm currently trying to select which magneto-optical drive to purchase.  I'm primarily looking at 128MB drives, although I might consider 256MB ones.  When looking through MacWorld and MacUser ads, the prices for the 128MB drives seem to range from just under $1000 (for the DGR 128REM Portable, Magic 128MB Portable Fujitsu, or NuDesign 128MB from MacDirect) to about $1600 (for the FWB HammerDisk 130 and Mass Microsystems DataPak MO/128).  Different drives use different mechanisms - MOST, Fujitsu, Sony, Epson, probably some others.  My problem is that after reading the Nov 92 MacWorld and Apr 93 MacUser reviews of these drives, I'm still not sure what to get.  So, I'm asking if anyone has had good/bad experiences with any 128MB M-O drive or can shed some light on the wide range of prices (is spending more really buying me much?), reliability of different drives, compatibility between them, or  anything else I should probably know.  Thanks.

The Logitech ScanMan 32 is a nice unit, compact and effective it will bring in graphics with surprisingly good quality. Note that its effective resolution in grey scale mode is only about 72 dpi. If you don't intend to magnify a graphic, it works fine. A true 256 level gray scanner would work better for images.

Hi, I have been getting a lot of requests for this information so I thought I would post it for those interested parties. (Sorry for length).  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. (all connectors on the back of the 		board must be removed first) 	7. Desolder the 40MHz clock (the one closest to the memory modules). 		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.

What you need for multisession capability is multisession capability -- which is based on the firmware and electronics, not the drive speed.

Some companies selling such drives are: Spin Peripherals (a bargain at $499) and PLI (a company I hate) and Relax Technologies (a company I know little about other than that they are  a longtime player in Mac mailorder, which is usually a good sign). The NEC CDR74 is also a good choice (NEC's own mechanism, I think). ClubMac sells it for around $619.  >Thanx.  Your welcome, ooh but now I see your from Germany. Most of the mailorder info does you little good, I guess. If not: Spin Peripherals -- 800-466-1200 Club Mac         -- 800-258-2622 Relax Tech       -- 510-471-6112  Nothing wrong with the Apple, though, which is based on a Sony mechanism and speed-identical to the NEC. The Toshiba's speed advantage is very slight: 20% in average access time (a minor plus) and 10% in data transfer rate (a slightly more important plus).
