I have a Lightening Scan Pro 256 hand scanner.  It came with scanning/editing software, OCR software, and some plug-in modules for Photoshop et al.  The scanner was a tad on the pricey side ($480), but the scans are incredibly accurate, in 256 level, 300 dpi grayscale.  It also has dithered and line art settings when grayscale isn't desired.  Great scanning software, easy to use.  I frequently write letters to my neices, and spontaneouly include a scanned image in the note.  Hope this helps!

This leavese the PDS slot open for a video card. Currenty, DayStar does not have the '040 in this configuration, but it is due out early next year.  With their upgrade policy, you can get the '030 accelerator now, and when the '040 version becomes available, you get credit for the one you have.    I am running their 50 MHz version with FPU along with a Radius Precision Color Pivot and I'm very satisfied.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------  Earl D.

I have been playing with my Centris 610 for almost a week now.  I must say this machine is really fast!  The hardware turn-on feature is annoying, but I got PowerKey from Sophisicated Circuits and it works like a charm.  However, I still have a few complaints: - when I restart the machine every time, the screen image (the desktop   pattern) jerks up and down for a few times. - the Quantum 170 drive is noisy  Overall, I highly recommend it:  it is fast, affordable and looks great!  --

I have replaced the osz to 66 MHz yesterday and no truble at all. My Quadra now works at 33 MHz stable for more than 14 hours. I have also tried a 70 MHz osz, but after 1/2 hour my Quadra 700 died. I am not sure what was the reason for that, but it is to risky to run it to fast. Most of your Quadras 700 should work at 33 MHz without any problems.   But a safety tip do a backup from your harddisk befor you start to upgrade. During my 35 MHz test I damaged my harddisk and had a hardtime to get it working again. So once again do a backup befor you start!!!!!!!!!  Now the speedometer results after replacing the osz.  Speedometer Report for menes rainer. Prepared April 22, 1993.

Two points which my cause problems are the 4 MByte Ram solder on the board. The are only 80ns Rams and run at the upperlimit with 33 MHz. The next part which may cause trouble are the Video Rams. I have the orignal 100ns VRAMs from Apple in my Quadra, here you are also at the upperlimit where most of the chips running but it isn't garantied to run. Most of the other parts on the Quadra board running on there o     wn clockspeed so they wont make truble.  The most importaned question is do I neat a new heat sink. I would say NO. After running my Quadra for more than 14 hours the heat sink is really cool. A 33 MHz 486 with heat sink is mutch warmer than the 68040 in the Quadra, so I didn't see any problems. The room temperatur was 22 Celsius (72 F). If you living in a area were it is hot 100 F (45 C) and your room temperatur is not mutch below I would suggest a new heat sink with a ventilator to stay on the safe side.

With a little luck, I could own a C650 sometime in the near future, and so I was just wondering if someone could clear these two questions up for me:  1.  What speed SIMMS does the C650 need/want?  (I know that it needs 80ns VRAM...not sure for the main RAM.)  2.  I've heard two conflicting stories about the total expandibility of the C650's RAM...132 and 136 megs.  Which is true?  (Perhaps another phrasing would be better:  does the 8 meg version come with all 8 megs on the logic board, or 4 megs + a 4 meg SIMM?)  Just wondering....
I've changed the battery in the thing (shortly after the problem first happened) and I've noticed an inordinate number of Bus errors lately...

Any suggestions or comments? >------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Ben Roy .......just a poor college student.......internet<br4416a@american.edu> >-------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Ben,  Since you're obviously adept enough to understand how the trackball works, the only thing short of repairing it that I can think of is a thorough cleaning of all the parts, and then checking for the proper placement of the little blue rollers. Since they aren't fixed in position on their stainless steel pins, you might try sliding them into a slightly different position. On my PowerBook 100, I can slide them almost completely out of contact with the trackball. In fact, one of the notes from sumex on fixing the trackball advocates sliding the roller so that its _edge_ contacts the ball, not the center cylindrical area.  I've done this with my PB100, and it does seem to improve the feel, but needs to be adjusted from time to time. I just popped open one of our office's PB170s, and while there isn't as much latitude for movement, one could still adjust the roller slightly. If your PB140 is the same it might help.  I would suspect the most likely culprit to be a slippery blue roller. If you can take it out, clean it with a mild soapy solution, or isopropyl  alcohol. Also, be sure the ball is grease-free.  If you drop the ball in minus the retaining ring, roll the ball and see if it is actually causing the axle to spin.   If all this still doesn't solve it, then maybe a new one is in order. :-( It could be an electrical connection, in which case replacement would be necessary. But my experience with both mice and trackballs has been that dirt has been the normal problem, not an electrical malfunction.  Hope this helps,  Murray

Hi everyone,       I'm experiencing a very annoying problem with background printing on the HP Deskwriter (Sys 7.1, Deskwriter driver 3.1, PowerBook 170). When I print from, say, MS Word, I see the message "Spooling to disk," but sometimes nothing prints. Checking my memory map thanks to Now Menus, I see that HP Backgrounder has not loaded. Restarting fixes this. It seems to me that HP Backgrounder is quitting unexpectedly, and that its status as "Multifinder NOT aware" allows it to do this without my being informed by a message such as "HP Backgrounder quit unexpectedly." Have you ever seen this problem before.         There may or may not be a related problem. I have experienced problems in putting my computer to sleep. Choosing "sleep" from the Finder menu sometimes does nothing. Today on a whim I checked the memory map, and I discovered that HP backgrounder was not loaded. Restarted reloaded HP backgrounder, and I was able to put my machine to sleep as usual. Just a mere coincidence or is the HP backgrounder crash preventing my machine from going to sleep? 	Has anyone seen this problem? I'm seriously considering the purchase of a StylewriterII because of the poor quality of the HP software.
Do the accelaratores make a lot of difference? As I understand, there is graphics and cpu accelaration.  Does graphics accelarator help out with the scanner and the photo shop?  Is combination of both practical?  I have a Mac IIci. What kinds of accelaratores can I use?    ---

However, I know for a fact from seeing the Cyclone Data Spec sheets myself, don't ask, Macintosh Cyclone models will provide full implementation of the NuBUS standard.

The first and easiest to fix is interference from something around the monitor, such as another monitor or other electrical device.  Try moving the system to another location to fix that problem.  Second, because of the scan rate of the monitor, it tends to synchronize with room lights and can cause the interference you are seeing.  Try turning off all lights in the room(s) around the system and see if that helps.  If not, try moving the system somewhere else.  A third solution would be to get a 14" Apple Color Display - It should not have the same problem the 12" Color is more suceptible to.  You can try calling Apple's new support number (in the U.S.) at 1-800-SOS-APPLE. This number is for ANYONE who has questions regarding Macintosh setup and compatibility and just went into effect for this extended support on Monday, April 5, 1993.  Good luck -

No.  I recently bought an LC II with a 14" monitor.  The monitor comes with the type of power cable that plugs into the switched outlet on the back of most larger Macs.  Since the LC II doesn't have one of these outlets, there was an extra standard power cable included with the computer for use with the monitor.  But it was in the computer box, not the monitor box.  It's not as if the cables are particularly expensive, though.  $10-$15 at the most.

My  understanding is that the "optional fpu" refers to your option of purchasing the Centris 650 4/80 without FPU OR one of the other configurations WITH FPU.  Apple does not offer an upgrade from the non-FPU system to become an FPU system.  And, it is unclear whether the '040 processor on the non-FPU system (a 68LC040) can be replaced with a 68RC040 supplied by another vendor. Apple did send a memo out at one point sating that the Centris 610, which ONLY comes with a non-FPU 68LC040 processor CANNOT be upgraded to support an FPU - the pin configurations of the two chips apparently do not match so you cannot swap one for another (again, according to Apple's memo).  Hope that helps.

Hi there,  Does anyone know why Apple has an ambiguous message for C650 regarding fpu?  In all Mac price lists I've seen, every C650 has the message "fpu: optional".  I know from what we've discussed in this newsgroup that all C650 have the fpu built in except the 4/80 configuration.  Why would they be so unclear about this issue in their price list? I'm planning to buy the C650 8/230/cd pretty soon, but I'm now getting confused with whether it comes with fpu or not. Why say "optional" if it's built in? Please, anybody help me understand this game.  Regards,

I have a 3 month old that seems to have acquired the jitters of late.  The 14" Apple color monitor that I'm using with an LCIII sort of jiggles to the left and right all the time now. I have attempted to relocate the monitor to make sure the problem isn't interference from something else, but the  problem seems to remain no matter what I do.  Has anybody encountered this problem?

Mostly. The Q950 does have a SCSI2 controller chip as it's SCSI chip, but it does not have the chips to use the Wide or Fast SCSI-2 modes and therefore doesn't offer much more in the way of SCSI performance over the Q900. It does, howrever, have a faster I/O controller than the Q900; this is where the real speed boost comes from.
