I want to buy a LCII ( yes LCII not LCIII). None of the dealer seems to have them anymore. Does anybody know where I can buy this beast?.  I wanted 4/80 with standard keyboard package.  Please let me know. thanx  --Aravind S.

Well, I just got my Centris 610 yesterday.  It took just over two  weeks from placing the order.  The dealer (Rutgers computer store)  appologized because Apple made a substitution on my order.  I ordered the one without ethernet, but they substituted one _with_ ethernet. He wanted to know if that would be "alright with me"!!!  They must be backlogged on Centri w/out ethernet so they're just shipping them with!    	Anyway, I'm very happy with the 610 with a few exceptions.   Being nosy, I decided to open it up _before_ powering it on for the first time.  The SCSI cable to the hard drive was only partially connected (must have come loose in shipping).  No big deal, but I would have been pissed if I tried to boot it and it wouldn't come up! 	The hard drive also has an annoying high pitched whine.  I've heard apple will exchange it if you complain, so I might try to get it swapped. 	I am also dissappionted by the lack of soft power-on/off.  This wasn't mentioned in any of the literature I saw.  Also, the location of the reset/interupt buttons is awful.  Having keyboard control for these functions was much more convenient. 	Oh, and the screen seems tojump in a wierd way on power-up. I've seen this mentioned by others, so it must be a...feature... 	Anyway, above all, it's fast.  A great machine at a great price!
Hello 	I recently accelerated my Mac Plus (MicroMac 25MHz accelerator)  and now I can't get my Mac to boot off of the hard disk.  It boots fine  from a floppy, and I can mount the hard disk using SCSI probe, but I  cannot get it to boot from the hard drive.  I installed a new driver, so I  don't think that is the problem.   	This poses a rather large problem.  I only have 4 Meg of RAM, and  I need to run Mathematica, which requires 5 Meg.  I was hoping to use  system 7 virtual memory so that I could run Mathematica.  However, I can't  run system 7 from a floppy, so I can't get enough RAM.   	Any suggestions? Thanks for your time-- 						Chrisw@yang.earlham.edu

If you mean in a "newer, more powerful" Mac system then the answer is no. Apple has stated that all new Macs will use the 72-pin SIMMs and no longer use the 30-pin SIMMs.
I'm a system and network admin. One of my users has a Duo 230 ([*]specifications below) that has been having slowdown problems. Leaving the Duo on for several hours causes it to slow down unacceptably. It can take 10-15 seconds to change applications. During this time it is completely hung.  If he reboots, the problem goes away (For a while). It seems the system is getting itself into a wedged configuration.  He's re-installed System 7.1 and rebuilt the desktop. Neither of these have helped.   It's possible that it's network-related, he uses Eudora which checks his email every 10 minutes (over Ethernet). He hasn't checked to see if this problem occurs while undocked (he's docked most of the time).   Little to no non-Apple inits, I don't want to start yanking the rest unless I know that might *really* be the problem.   He hasn't tried zapping the PRAM, I have advised him to do that next.  Anyone who has ideas, I'd love to hear about them. I'd call Apple, but I've found they're best to call during the week (it's Sunday evening).   [*] Powerbook Duo 230  16/120. 12mb RAM card from Tech Works to replace non-self-refreshing 8mb card. Is using System Enabler 1.0.1. Express Modem (including latest software). Has been to Apple Dealer for Keyboard replacement.
Is there a workaround which will enable me to print to a HPLJ4 from my Powerbook 100? (Actually I'm going to a 4M which will have an Ethernet card in the LocalTalk slot!!!GRRRRR). Is there some hardware which will enable me to this easily (kind of plug and play!).
I remember reading a thread a few days ago that mentioned removing an external syquest drive from its case and dropping it in the internal drive of a Centris. . . I was going to do that with my 610, but had a couple of questions.  My PLI 80M syquest drive has a wire from the drive to an id# switch on the outside of the case.  Where do I connect this switch??  Can the computer just "tell" with internal drives?   	I noticed that the drive will lay over part of the motherboard (I didn't look closely, but I seem to recall it laying over the ram that's soldered onto the motherboard?  Would that cause problems? 	One last question!  Is there anywhere to order a faceplate cover?   the drive's front panel is smaller than the space left in the case (the drive's panel is the same size as the spotsBM clone's cases).  Should I just cut a hole in the plastic panel that is currently holding tmpty place?
Hello fellow humans, and other net creatures...   If you're at all interested in this merchandise, please e-mail me: djk@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu   I'm compacting my system and moving to a single monitor system, so I have two monitors and cards for sale. Nothing at all is wrong with these pieces, I'm just wanting to conserve desk space, and get all of my info from one screen.   I'd prefer to sell to people near Austin and surrounding areas (within driving distance - like an hour away perhaps), but I CAN ship to you if you don't live near here. Only problem is that I didn't keep the original boxes for the monitors, but I'm confident that my few months of full-time service in the shipping room will enable me to safely package the monitors and flip it in your direction.   Details:   Mirror Full Page Display (monochrome) w/nubus card: ---------------------------------------------------   **SOLD**   Sony 1304 14" color monitor: ---------------------------- What's to say? It got top ratings in last year's MacUser report. It's a SONY, Trinitron, arguably the best (but I'd rather not argue that point). It's a great monitor, in great shape, but I'm going to a bigger screen, and although I'd like to keep it, finances don't justify it.   Still selling for $599 at MacLand (where I bought it originally - not including shipping), will sell for **$475** (plus shipping). Again, make an offer if that sounds unreasonable.     RasterOps 24si (24-bit accelerated, hardware zoom/pan, 4 meg RAM): ------------------------------------------------------------------ Renamed the 24sx a few months after I bought it, this board is for 13" monitors, providing **accelerated 24-bit**, hardware zoom/pan, NTSC mode (you can plug it into something like the RasterOps Video Expander and output NTSC), and 4 RAM slots that use 1 meg or 4 meg SIMMS for GWorld RAM, or a RAM disk. Software included for such functions. 4 meg of RAM included (1 meg SIMMS).   Selling for $605 at Bottom Line (without the RAM - add $100), I'm asking **$525** (shipping included this time, it's just a card). Original box and packaging. I'd actually prefer to sell the Sony monitor and this card together, so if you want both, drop me e-mail and make a "bundled offer" for these items.   ------------   Cheers.   dan keldsen - djk@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu

My configuration is:  Model: Centris 610 with 4 MB/80 HD, 512 VRAM, no cards Monitor: MAG MX15F with 16" monitor adaptor (for resolution of 832*624)  I just discovered the problem a little while ago after plugging in my new MAG monitor.  It seems to appear either when scrolling through a window or when using Alpha or Word and I enter <return>.  My guess is bad VRAMs as well.  I really hope it isn't a design flaw.  Is anyone at Apple listening?

I've been servicing Macs for years too, and I've had to repair a number of motherboards that had been damaged this way.  It's rare, but it does happen.  Mind you, this doesn't mean you shouldn't do it.  The parts that can blow (the ADB power fuse and RF filter) aren't too expensive, so IF you have a someone around who can do component-level repair, it may be worth the risk (especially if you're around Seattle, 'cause you might get to pay *me* to fix it :-))..  On the other hand, if your only repair option is the Apple-standard logic board swap (major $$$$), you should probably play it safe.  >SCSI, yes, ADB, no...  SCSI: yes, ADB: yes, Floppies: yes...  They can all cause trouble.
>	I wonder how hard it would be (i.e. what it would add to the cost) >to design desktop machines with a power saver feature built in which would >reduce power consumption automatically if the machine is idle for more than >some amount of time.  I believe that Apple, Sun and a number of other desktop machine manufacturers have agreed with the government to incorporate power-saving techniques;  this is also something that governments in other countries are likely to require in the future, so expect to see it.  This may include the ability for the system to fully power down the monitor, via a controllable power outlet, and power it back on automatically.  (Is this a "sell" on screen saver software companies?)  Goals for "idle" power consumption have been set at something like 30 watts for the system, not including the monitor (? don't quote me on this).  Note that in many businesses, the savings will be substantial, especially if you factor in reduced load on air conditioning systems. Sun did a study that indicated that simply powering off monitors for the night would save the company (Sun itself) on the order of $1M per year.  Putting other (and automatic) power-saving features in would probably have greater than double that value.  Given that we are seeing more and more reason to leave our work and home computers on (getting faxes, automatically getting email, ...), building power consumption control into all machines has a potential to cut ~2% off the national power consumption, based on data I heard.

I've had my C610 for about six weeks now with no problems whatsoever. It's been "customized" with---   * replaced the Apple-Quantum 80 drive with a Connor 212 drive.     * installed a Tandberg SCSI tape drive in the internal bay which works    just fine (though Apple doesn't seem to be supplying front panel    bezels w/ a standard 5.25" cutout...).    It's hooked up to an Apple LaserWriter Plus and has no printing problems at all, tested printing complex Photoshop graphics.  It has expanded VRAM and extra 8 meg SIMM, no problems.  So in sum, I have no idea what this dealer is complaining about.  	-Fred

I'm in the market for a laser printer. Used printers are fine, non-apple printers are fine, but whatever printer I get must fit the following:  Required features:  - PostScript  - 300 dpi  - emough memory to download fonts  - The cheaper, the better.  I'd prefer under $1000.   Nice things:  - anything over 4 pages per minute  - scsi output for a font disk  - smallish footprint    Don't Care About:  - PostScript Level II  - networking (its just for me, and always will be)  - color   I know about Freedom of Press, but I've also heard that its painfully slow. I can tolerate about 4 ppm, but anything slower than that and I'm not going to consider the price savings worth it.  I'd be curious to hear people's experience with it, tho.   I also infinitely prefer laser over ink; I used to use HP deskjets in my last job and wasn't impressed with the quality.  I'm a laser bigot and the first to admit it. :)   I'll be using the printer to layout pages of a book I'm writing.  The page will include multiple fonts, PS graphics, scanned line art and maybe greyscale pictures (not sure yet).  The quality doesn't need to be spectacular, but it needs to be clear and readable.   Printers I've been looking at:   - used LaserWriters: The plus, the NT, the NTR.  Its my understanding that   only the NTR has a SCSI out for a disk. True?  - Personal LaserWriter (LS and NTR).  I have access to the Apple Employee   discount (I work for one of Apple's spinoffs), so I can get these reasonably   cheaply.  I've heard bad things about the LS; comments?  I'm leaning   towards the Personal NTR, cause it has a nice small footprint.  - LaserWriter Select 300.  I hear it doesn't have PostScript, but I haven't   seen anything for sure.  I heard mumbles once about a "postscript upgrade."   ??  - Used HP LaserJets.  I've worked with the II and IIP on another platform, and   they were *painfully* slow.  Are they that bad on the mac?  - I've seen ads for an Epson PS laserprinter that is running quite cheap.   Any comments on this printer?  I hate the styling (too many ouput trays),   but if its a decent printer I'll consider it.   Thanks for any comments...

Add me to the list of bugged 230 owners.  I had a bunch of problems regarding sleep/wakeup/restart with the 230 when I first got it, both with and without the techworks ram.  Finally it "died", wouldn't start, until I  opened the docking door (which snaps open) and  the machine came up fine, but with the clock a few decades off.  Apple  replaced the processor board.  Now,   twice the machine has frozen (no mouse action)   twice the machine has refused to wake up.  Acutally, the backlighting     came on, and the disk spins when the power adaptor is plugged in     (but not with a good battery).     The first time this happened removing both power adaptor and battery       for ~1 minute brought the machine back.     The second time this happened the machine wouldn't wake up until       powered down for about 30 minutes.  The screen had what looked       like red horizontal lines accross it.     Both timse the file "fax modem preferences" has been corrupted       according to disinfectent).  I have removed all the fax and modem software, and the third party memory, and am waiting to see if it happens again.  forrest

Hello duo owners (and Apple technical people :-)   I have a new duo 230 which appears to have a problem waking up from sleep when running on battery power. When woken (usually for the second time) after sleeping, the wake fails and the screen appears with a corrupted image of broken horizontal lines and control can only be recovered with control-command-poweron or the reset key at the back of the machine. The problem occurs even when the system is stock standard (no extensions, no virtual memory, a fully charged new battery, system 7.1 etc). I have not had the problem when the machine is plugged in to AC. I've checked that the battery is properly seated (it appears to be fine).   What's going on here ? Anyone else had this problem ? Is it software or hardware ?    If you have a duo 230 and a bit of time, try repeatedly sleeping and waking the machine on battery power and let me know if you see the same behaviour (and let Apple know too !).   Many thanks to anyone who can clear this one up for me.   Bruce
I have a friend who has a MAC (LC or LC II I think), and her family has an "extra" LaserJet IIIp sitting around. Is there any way to connect these two and make them work without a postscript cartridge?

Are there any stats anywhere on the speed difference between a board with an FPU and one without? Please send mail directly to me. Thanks.
I believe that in order to get at the innards of the new mouse, you must remove the label on the bottom that says "Apple Desktop Bus Mouse II"  There you should find two screws on either side. I haven't tried it myself yet, but when I ran my fingernail accross the label, these two divots appeared, and I can only assume that these are the elusive screws in question.  cheers, john
