Hello,  we need the code for decompression of Quicktime JPEG Pict files, as they don't conform to usual jpeg compressors, which are available in source. The code should be in C Pascal or Modula. The code will be used on several platforms to view pictures over ISDN. Perhaps a special hardware will be put around it (much less then a mac! perhaps only a DSP with some support chips) If the code is not available, perhaps the algorithm is available to decompress them.

I have two 4 meg SIMMS that I am trying to sell.  I had them in my LC.   I would like to get $100 for each one.  They are only three months old and have a lifetime warrenty. They are 80ns simms.  I will also consider other reasonable offers.  Please E-Mail me.  Dave
Yes! what you are saying is absolutey true, but what you fail to mention is the fact that the LCIII uses the new 72 pin simms which allow 32 bit access to each simm. In the case of the LC III, it only has one simm slot, but accesses will be 32 bits wides. ***************************************************************************  The views expressed in this posting those of the individual author only.

I would like more info on this if anybody has it. Our Exabyte 8500 tapedrive has never been working from the Quadra 950. We have been trying it since September 1992, replaced cabling, inits, I don't know what all. All the "industry experts" we phoned (the tapedrive dealer, our Apple dealer, the software dealer) all say it's our fault, or they don't know. The last thing they said was that we needed a special Quadra SCSI terminator (???). Anybody know more? Thanks,

Help appreciated.    A 256K DRAM chip is a 256 kilobit chip whereas a 256K SIMM is a 256 kilobyte memory module. The SIMM is a PCB with a 30 pin connector edge and on the SIMM are 8 256 kilobit DRAM chips (making the total memory 256 KBytes.     You are correct assuming that SIMMs will not fit into a LaserWriter. Apple printers either require 64 pin SIMMs like those in the Mac IIfx or special memory chips. Contact your Apple dealer to find out exactly what kind of chips you need.

Your reply would be very much appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Anyone out there have a Sony 1304S?  I have one, and it's very nice, however - If I run it in 16" mode, the picture won't go very big. I end up with about 1" gap either side, and .5" top & bottom. I suspect an internal adjustment would fix this. Anyone tried it?  Another problem is sub-brightness: Areas that are meant to be black (or off the main raster) are not very black. The real raster is quite visible when the screen is blanked. This is not too severe, but it is just not as good as other Trini screens I have used. If I turn the brightness/contrast down so that the raster is not visible, the real image virtually disappears!  The raster size is just right if I use 1024*768, but 100dpi+ is a bit too much!  Oh, and I am using a RasterOps 24XLi card.

Hi... what alternatives to the Express modem do Duo owners have (if they want to go at least 9600 baud)?  Every place in town says they are back ordered, and part of the reason I want a laptop mac is so I can use it as a remote terminal from wherever I am, but I really would hate to have to wait 2 months to get a modem in or have to settle with 2400 baud.
Excuse me if this is a frequent question, I checked in several FAQs but couldn't really find anything.  I have a IIsi with the standard 5 meg memory and I want (need) to add additional memory.  But I'm on a budget. I really don't need more than 10 meg max, so what is the best (performance wise) and most economical way to do this?  Someone told me that I should only use SIMMs of the same amount of memory, that is 4 1 meg, 4 2 meg, etc.  What if I just wanted to buy just 1 4 meg and use the rest of what I already have?  The manual hasn't been very helpful with this.  Thanks.
Does anyone know exactly how Digital Eclipse does their upgrades?  Someone was suggesting to me that some chips may not be able to perform at 33MHz.  Is this true, and if so, how does DESI deal with that?  -David

Sounds vaguely similar to a problem I had a long time ago when I was   trying to use Kermit.  I was building a serial connection between my Duo 210   and my NeXT.  I think the problem was in the handshaking.  Basically, you need   to make sure that the handshaking protocol is the same on both sides.  A safe   place to start is by selecting NO handshaking on either end.  One problem is   that the Zilog serial chip seems to get permanently wedged if you talk to it   wrong, and only a reset will clear it.  I don't know the specifics.  But this   could be a nonlinearity that screws up your attempts at debugging the system.    It could very well be that you are doing things right--eventually-- but one   wrong move (like trying a bad handshaking protocol) can screw up any further   correct actions, until the next machine reset.  I have wedged my Mac and also   my NeXT that way.  Now I can send files back and forth between the Duo and the NeXT without any   problem, and at pretty high speeds too.  I don't know what kind of chip the PC uses, but I think the Zilog 8530 is   pretty standard.

This is > not true for the Spectral Innovations boards, for example.  To boorishly reply to myself, I found I did have the Instrutech information already. The specs (to use the term loosely) are as follows:  A/D: 16 bit converter, with 14 bit accuracy to 100 kHz, 12 bit accuracy to 200 kHz. No specs for S/N, monotonicity, linearity. There are 8 multiplexed inputs sharing the single A/D, so that all inputs are not samples at the same time, and in the above conversion specs the all-channel sample rate must be used. Thus, for two channels, you only have 14 unknown quality bits at 50 kHz per channel. This is poorer quality than the national Instruments, at the same sample rate.  D/A: 16 bit converter. No specs for S/N, monotonicity, linearity. Each of the 4 output channels has its own converter.

I am aware of the error in the header files and IM VI.  I am setting the WU time to be about two minutes, then putting the mac to sleep, but it doesn't wakeup at the appointed time....     Does it require a call to SystemTask in order to make sure that everything is setup?

It isn't Apple's responsibility to tell its customers how to fool around with it's hardware. That is what Apple Service Techs get paid to do. I personally like the design of the Q800, and applaud Apple for coming up with a good way to make use of the front space for all of those drive bays. I like it a lot better than the 900/950 design, except for those people who need Drive Arrays. I do, however, agree with you about the LW Pro design.  >The operation isn't very complicated if even a minimal amount of help were >offered but Apple leaves you working blind.      Again, its's not Apple's place to make it easy for non-certified service people to fool around with Apple hardware, even if they did buy it. Of course you are free to do what you want to your Mac, just don't get upset when your Apple Service Rep tells you that your warranty is no longer valid.  >After the memory was installed I was distraught that the top of the SIMMs >came into contact with the plastic case frame.

This sounds like the kind of problem I had when I installed 4MB SIMMs into an LC, back before low-profile 4MB SIMMs were readily available. The standard 4MB SIMMs would contact the top of the case and make it a bit difficult to close the LC, but it did close and work just fine. One of the nice things about Logic-Boards is that they are generally quite flexible and can withstand a fair amount of pressure.
Here's the scoop:  For the past two years, I have been using an SE/30 with a Sony 1304s and a Lapis video card.  This past month, I bought a Quadra 800 and am now  using the Sony on it.  My SE/30 has been shipped home to my father who is planning on getting an Apple 14" monitor (The Trinitron one).  My question is this:  What kind of power cord will he get with the Apple monitor.  Does it come with two types?  As I recall, one can hook up the power cord of an apple monitor to the back of a machine such as my  Quadra 800.  However, for my father's SE/30, there is no extra plug which allows use of the SE/30's power supply.  He needs to plug it into the socket separately.  So...does the monitor come with a cable that will allow him to do this?  Will have to buy a different cable?  IF yes, where can he purchase such a cable? or apple kind enough to provide both types of cables?
