Hope this helps.

I'm not an expert, but having spent much too much of my life looking for the power switch, or the brightness control, or the de-gauss, etc., etc., etc. it is my firm belief that the only reason any controls/switches/knobs/whatever in places where they are hard to reach is because the designers put them there deliberately.  The real question is weather this is because of stupidity, or maliciousness.  --

Could someone please tell me what a   LaserWriter IINTX upgrade kit is.  Its a small box, which has a bag inn it , seemingly containing 6 chips (look like ROMS) and a IINTX manual. The installation instructions are most informative and say, in full, "This product must be installed by an Apple ........."  SO what does this do ? At first I thought it might be a NT to NTX upgrade, but I thought that required an entirely new board.  Any info appreciated.
Iv'e got a problem printing with a StyleWriterII. I am printing from a IIvx with 20 megs ram. I am trying to print a Quark file that has 2 fonts a couple of boxes and 3 gradient fills.

This only happens to the text over the fill. Text adjecent in a different box is uneffected.  Any ideas?

The first one i ordered Jan 15, and I received it Feb. 20. The second one I ordered Jan 20th, and I just got it April 2nd or so. Anyway, they both come with 10 misc. CDROMs... Things like a "Intro to Nautilis", a sample CD of Kodak pictures, "From Alice to Ocean" (a story of a woman who treked across Austrailia), 3 discs from apple, a games disc, an applications disc, and a "titles" disc (haven't checked most of these out yet). Also some "Cinderella" thing for kids, a disc of Mozart something-or-others, etc. etc. etc. If someone's super interested, I'll make a list of the exact titles and post them. They are all in the category of "Interesting, but probably fairly useless...". It was rumored that the earliest  units shipped with SOME encyclocpedia (it may have), but neither of my drives had that.
Hey everybody:     I want to buy a mac and I want to get a good price...who doesn't?  So, could anyone out there who has found a really good deal on a Centris 650 send me the price.

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.

And if you're interested in transferring files, you can also do it   over the serial port using kermit.

Well,      You can always try and find a PC dealer who sells guaranteed memory. I work at a company growing at 40% a year, we have on order hundreds of computers per year.  It never fails, machines come in with BAD SIMMS. Now for those of you who are wondering just WHY your PC or MAC just crashed I can tell you I always thought it was the incompetent ass who wrote or designed the software.     Well, I don't think that way anymore, especially with the results I have gotten with replacing BAD SIMMS in my own machine and others at work. The moral to this story is to MAKE SURE your memory is good.  I would be willing to bet lots of you out there have SIMMS with either soft or hard errors on them and you don't even know about it, but every once in awhile those bad SIMMS just makes your life hell.     I just got plain SICK of dealing with peoples complaints that thier machine just crashed and they lost thier work.  In case your wondering, or if you haven't already guessed I work in an IS department.  Service is a do or die perogative in this line of work, so the MORAL IS:  HAVE YOUR MEMORY TESTED with a SIMM hardware tester...and NO I don't mean the simple little software programs that you can run in your machine.  SIMMS are complicated little beasts and they needs special hardware to test them effectively.  If any of you are interested in getting one of these nifty little devices which are not cheap, write me back.  They make life a little bit easier, and besides they pay for themselves in a short time from the loss of productivity people would have to deal with when thier machine commits suicide.
I remember someone mention about a 150meg syquest.  Has anyone else heard anything about this?  I'd be interested in the cost per megabyte and the approximate cost of the drive itself and how they compare to the Bernoulli 150.

I recently got a Centris 610 4/230 on my desk. It's a vast improvement on my previous machine (a IIsi 5/40). However .....  I've encountered a problem with fonts ..  Entries in a Filemaker 2.0 database which looked fine when printed from my previous mac using System 7.01 now look wierd !  Spacing between characters has increased greatly - causing lines to be truncated. I'm using plain and bold Helvetica in various sizes - the increase in character spacing seems to occur for all sizes and styles.   I'm using a mixture of TrueType and Fixed-Size fonts - exactly as on my IIsi - when things worked perfectly.  We've managed to get similar behaviour using Word 5.1.  Apple UK adopted their usual "friendly" approach and told us to call our local dealer - God help us !!

I thought I'd share a good experience, too.  I bought the APS Quantum 240 zero footprint drive in May '92 (back when they still used two separate LEDs on the front panel and the case was metal).  While traveling with it (it was in my SE/30 Mac bag, on top of the Mac) this past winter, one of the plastic tabs holding the front panel on broke, so that the right side of the front panel was coming forward away from the rest of the drive.  I lived with this situation until it became completely intolerable (which more or less coincided with a network shutdown at school and a trip out of town I had to take, which gave me some dead time during which to have the drive sent out).  I called APS for an RMA # and got one, with no questions asked about how the tab got broken (it was handled a little roughly by airline baggage handlers -- though nothing else was damaged [well, except for the internal speaker in my modem, which wasn't that well glued down to begin with] -- yeah, yeah, I'm never flying with my SE/30 again).  And when I called back to ask whether I could send it in a little later rather than right away, they had no problem with that -- even when I exceeded the normal valid period for an RMA # by a day (they're usually good for 10 days).  The front panel was replaced under warranty, and the drive was shipped back quickly (I mailed it first class insured on a Saturday by noon from L.A. to Missouri, and it came back by Fed Ex by Friday [I don't know exactly what day it came back because I was traveling that week from Wednesday afternoon to Sunday afternoon]).  The only thing that could've been bad was that the first service rep I talked to, in an attempt to prevent jeopardizing my data, suggested that I take the drive mechanism out and send just the case.  Unfortunately, I discovered the day I was mailing the thing, that would necessitate breaking the little seal and thus voiding the warranty!  Oh, well.

What is the maximum rate of the 6882 FPU that Apple sells directly (Apple Part No. M6775 LL/A)?  The Apple literature labels the FPU for Classics and LC III's so I assume it will do at least 25MHz.  My question is can I put it in a Performa 600 (68030 @ 32MHz)?  The Apple price is cheap at $78 compared to ~$135 from mail order houses.  Any one know the answer to this one?
I have tested this on a 230 and it does work there.  So it would seem that the 140 and 170 are out though.  One way to tell is to go and open the PowerBook control panel(7.1).  There is a setting there that allows you to set the time to wake up the Mac.  If it is present when you open the control panel, then you can assume that SetWUTime will work.
Hi!  I want to change the default paper cassette on our LaserWriter Pro 630 from the 250-sheet cassette to the 500-sheet cassette.

I have done several of these upgrades (about 6 IIsi's, and 1 Quadra 700), and the best thing to use would be some sort of "heat sink compound". If possible, you should look for the silicon-free stuff. There's a comany who makes the stuff called Tech Spray, their address is: P.O. Box 949, Amarillo, TX 79105.  You should be wary in using most kinds of tape; and definately don't use duct tape  that stuff is for ducts...  When using the heat sink glue or compound, only use enough to fill the small space between the heat sink and the CPU.  Mario Murphy

A lot of the time, when you're dealing with someone who has no financial   interest in selling you the machine, you get a lot of opinion (as opposed   to factual information, etc.).  What it sounds like to me is that this guy   has had an experience with one flaky Centris 610 and formed an   all-encompassing opinion on the rest of the 610's.  I've seen lots of   people who frustrated me to no end because they refused to believe any   other Mac Xyz would be any good, since their experience (with >one<   machine) with a Mac Xyz had been bad.  Their loss, eh?
I read in MacWeek that some developers are getting NuBUS cards from apple with pre-release PowerPC chips on them.  Does this mean that when the chip is released, those of us with old apples will be able to take advantage of the PowerPC RISC technology just by inserting a card?  I don't know anything about hardware, so can someone tell me how much of a cludge this would be?
Here's a question that may be simple enough to answer, but has stumped myself and a few others:  What does an external RAM cache card do for you if you already have a large cache set (through control panel) in your SIMMs?  EX:  I have a Mac IIci with 20 meg RAM, an external video card (so I don't rob my SIMM's), and the default Apple cache card (I believe this is 32K?).  Say I have my cache set at 2 MEG, what good does a measly 32K do me on the cache card?  Could it actually slow things down by dividing the cache between the card and the SIMM's?  Or does it still speed things up by providing a 'secondary staging' area for data normally passed directly into the SIMM RAM cache?  I'm confused because it seems like cache cards are so low in memory to really do any good compared to what you can set yourself.  Yet, Daystar FastCache has numbers which show around a 30% performance boost on some operations.  Are the chips on the cache card simply faster than most SIMM accesses?  Please help, I'm trying to find the optimum memory settings for the IIci system described in the EX above.
Could someone please send instructions for installing simms and vram to  jmk13@po.cwru.edu?  He's just gotten his 700 and wants to drop in some  extra simms and vram that he has for it.
