I do not have this type of problem, but at one point an Apple rep told me that Duo's "System Enabler" file version 1.0.1 fixes some kind of sleep-related problem.  You may want to investigate this...

Yes this is possible. Technically, you only need to take out 2 of the VRAM SIMMs but leaving in the other two will not get you anything because the 950 cannot really do anything with 1.5MB of VRAM. It only knows 1MB and 2MB.  >From the documentation I have, the Quadra 800 must get 1 Mo VRAM to have >16-bit color, is that correct?      Yes, this is correct.

Of course, if you want to check the honesty of your dealler, take it in knowing what's wrong, and ask them to tell you. :)  Of course he'll probably know right a way, then charge you a $20 service fee. :)

The 950 can output 16 > bit video to a 16" monitor with 1 meg of VRAM and 24 bit with 2 meg. Actually, the Quadra 900 and 950 both have the same SCSI controller,            (running at different speed).  They are not SCSI 2, but can support certain SCSI commands that take advantage of faster drives.  The I/O processors are present on both machines.  The Q950 runs its I/O bus at 25MHz, while the 900's I/O bus is 16MHz.  The Quadra 950 supports 16bit color on all monitor sizes, as well as 24bit up to 832 x 624 resolution.  It also supports 1024 x768 resolution.  The 900 supports supports 8bit at 1152 x 870, and does not support 1024 x 768 at all.  VRAM on the 950 is 80ns or faster, and 100ns or faster on the 900.
Is there a fix for this? We have a Quadra 900 that will NOT finish startup unless there is a monitor connected. This would be no problem, but since we're running it as a file server, there is no need to have a monitor connected all the time.

Hi all,    I have a IIsi with a floppy drive that might be bad (and might just be out of alignment, I haven't checked yet. :-))  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.
Here's a good one: Does anyone know of a product that allows me to RACK MOUNT my 2CI (or maybe 650 if I blow some more money...) ??? My application is music, and would like to be able to haul it around (would probably plan to get an MO drive or something so I don't have to depend on an internal fixed hard drive - i.e., may be pretty rough on an internal HD...)  I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area, if that matters. Also, anyone have any info on 650's and Midi? And, would anyone care to email me with the price they paid for their 650? Or if there's a price list FAQ, never mind... Just curious about the difference between the best retailers and the local university pricing...

I believe that that would be the same as a system error #64. Since there is no error #64, then I would guess that it would be a -64 error. Which is a font manager error of "error during font declairation".  I would assume that the system that's on the floppy that you are trying start up on has a corrupted font in it, or something like that.  Mario Murphy

I'm looking for a Cache card for my IIsi. I can spend $250 Max for it, 	what i need is 64 kb cache with a fpu socket and a dual slot adapter.

How much performance 	increase i should expect, does the performance increase between the 	32 and 64 kb Cache worths the price difference ?. And what's the best 	price i can get for such a card (i really need to spare each possible 	$).  	I have an Ethernet card for the LC with fpu. I don't think it would 	work for the IIsi but the fpu is socketed. Do you think i can take the 	fpu out of the card and put it in the empty fpu socket ?. Would it work 	at 20 Mhz ?. If not, how much should i pay for an extra fpu ?.

In article <C5Iz7n.Kyv@cs.dal.ca>, hayes@ug.cs.dal.ca (Kevin B. Hayes) writes: >>you can find retail that is within the price of a keyboard of educational >>prices.   I would be very wary of retail outlets selling as cheap as educational prices! I went for a retailer, actually mail order (CDA computers), because its price was better thant the campus computer store. I found out why later on when I tried to get a repair done at an Apple registered repair center - the CPU was a resale. The serial number had been removed and replaced with a non-standard number (probably from CDA computers). Consequently, the Apple repair man could not do ANY warrenty repairs. So I ended up with just a 90day warrenty from CDA over the Apple 12month warrenty. Boy, was I pi**ed! Moral of the story, CAVEAT EMPTOR.  However, if you go with a reliable, trustworthy mail order firm (if they exist - maybe someone could enlighten us with their experiences), you will probably get a better price than your local educational outlet simply because mail order out of state does not REQUIRE sales tax yet. Though for how much longer remains to be seen. The addition in sales tax on a CPU purchase will probably wipe out an educational discount. Again CAVEAT EMPTOR, some mail order companies DO include sales tax on purchases even if they are out of state, so check!

I've got the official word on the LaserWriter Pro 600 memory upgrade.  I just got off of the phone with the quite friendly Donna Rossi at Apple Customer Assistance.  She tells me that those who purchased the LaserWriter Pro 600 in a 4 megabyte (300dpi, no greyscale) configuration should contact their original dealers who are supposed provide the 4-meg memory upgrade.  For those who don't know, the extra 4-meg will allow printing at 600dpi  or greyscale (at 300dpi).  If the dealers have questions, they should be directed to their hardware support numbers and/or Apple Customer Assistance  1-800-776-2333, 408-996-1010 (corporate number).  Regards,  Glenn
