A local dealer is offering Mac II vi machines equipped with Kodak multi- session compatible CD-ROM drives for what seems like an attractive price: $1500. I've used many other models up to a II ci, but this would be the first I could have my own Mac. Is it safe to buy an about-to-be discontinued model such as this. I'd like to yank the CD-ROM drive out, put it in a housing and share it with my PC. Is this feasible? The only info I have on the II vi is that it is relatively slow (16MHz), has an 68030 chip with a math coprocessor. I want to add a non-Apple portrait monitor and use this machine for HyperCard stack design. Is this a good buy, or would I be wasting my money? I would appreciate some advice. Thanks!

So far I have only seen pictures of the new ergonomic keyboard, but it seems that the 'b' is placed on the left part after the split. However, when I learned typing in school some years ago, I was taught to write 'b' with my right hand. Is this a difference between Danish and American typing, or what???  Thanks a lot in advance!  --

I have only one report, which seems to indicate that a 32K cache card gives you only about a 1% speedup!! Access to memory takes LONGER when you have a cache card(and get a miss) thus a small cache card of 32K may be worth $0. I don't know what kind of numbers 64K cards get you. Also I found it interesting that you can disable the cache cards via software(read about it in the Mac IIsi tech notes from ftp.apple.com)

Sean O'Casey in _The White Plague_ by Frank Herbert.  Hmmm... that's not quite right.  The Performa 600 is Real Darn Close to the IIvx (but a better buy IMO).  I also don't think they are so much a 'low-cost business solution', but a low-cost _home_ solution. Why else bundle at ease (among other things)?  Hardly a business application.   What do you mean by 'no "retail price"'.  Quite the contrary, I think. The price is darn near the same all across the country.  That (again, IMO) was one of the selling points of the performas -- ie: no haggling required.  Kinda like the Saturn (car) of the computer set.  One price, medium performance, ready to go.  When I shopped for my Performa (600CD), the difference between Sears (*sigh), Montgomery Wards, Silo (*sigh), Circuit City (*sigh*) and Bizmart (*sigh*) couldn't have been $100.00.  Why I chose one over the other was based solely on availability and a friendly salesman who went the extra mile (when did you last hear that about someone who sells Apples?).  Admittedly, except for Montgomery Wards (and I suspect I was just lucky) all of the salesfolk I spoke to didn't know didly about the computers, peecee or mac.  But then, neither did any of the  Apple dealers I spoke with...  If you would've told me a year ago that I would buy a Macintosh from Montgomery Wards I woulda laughed for a long, long time.  Go figure. I'm *real* happy with my Performa.  Oh, and I bought the Apple Performa Plus monitor (vs. buying 3rd party).  Happy with that decision as well.  I walked in, plopped down some cash, and walked out with a spankin' new computer the day before Christmas.   --  --------------------------------------------------------------------- Instrument Approach Procedures Automation             DOT/FAA/AMI-230

I just got a Quadra 800 8/230 and I've noticed that I can't change the desktop color from the beautiful gray.  I thought maybe I should reinstall the OS using the "Install Me First, Macintosh Centris, Quadra..." diskette because the system file on this diskette is more recent than the one on the hard disk.  The easy install selects "Macintosh Cnetris System Software".  Does anyone know if I should use this or customize and use "System Software for any Macintosh"?  Or does it matter?  THANKS in advance for any suggestions...

It'll save you money and the world > a few more resources.  The problem with turing your computer on and off constantly is not due to the power surge at start up.  It is due to thermal fatigue.  You turn on your computer, it heats up, and everything expands.  You turn it off, it cools off, and everything contracts.  There is a limited number of cycles of this that any component can take before it fails.  Modern electronics are much more robust in this respect than their predeccesors.  In fact portable computers are designed with this in mind since the sleep function that extends battery life also greatly increaces the number of thermal cycles that occur.  As a rule of thumb, if I am not going to use my computer (and this includes the monitor) in the next 4-6 hours, I turn it off (I always dim the monitor when not in use to prolong the life of the phosphor).  I tend to think that with the pace of technical innovation in the computer industry you should be much less concerned with the fatigue life of your equipment and more concerned with how long your particular architecture will be supported by hardware and software vendors. :")

I just recently purchased the GCC BLP Elite and I really like it.  My needs are much the same as what you describe.  In addition, I wanted to get one that I could access via AppleTalk, so that eliminated the new line of inexpensive  printers from Apple.  The print quality is good to excellent based on what  font you're using and what paper you use.  I'm still experimenting with  different papers, but a medium grade laser printer paper seems to work fine.  Printing envelopes, transpariencies, letter head, or other single feed jobs is very easy.  There is an adjustable, automatic centering, guide on top of the sheet feeder which aligns the paper properly (and doesn't feed a sheet from the sheet feeder, as some do).  (I have no affiliation with GCC, just a satisfied customer.)  -------------------------------------------------------------------------  Earl D.

Readers,  I have found that the cache upgrade options for the Mac IIsi include the following:	1) AE QuickSilver 		2) Daystar Fastcache IIsi 		3) Daystar ComboCache IIsi 		4) LogiCache IIsi 64k cache  I'd be interested in hearing opinions on any or all of these options. The other alternative is to upgrade to a CPU accelerator such as the LogiCache 50 MHz. Ideas, comparisions?
