Hello all,  If anyone knows of a place to get the case to hold the power supply and motherboard of a Quadra 950 please let me know.  I have tried some mail order places and some local stores.  Both groups would prefer that I part with over $1000 to get just the case.  In my eyes this seems about $600-$700 to much.  Any comments?  I currently own the guts of a 950.  Please email me or post to this group w/ info,
Hi there,  when I run Disk First Aid on my external hard drive (Quantum LPS 240) I get the followinf message: Error -535: Missing thread record (TarID=31015; TarBlock 416) Disk First Aid is not able to fix this problem, Norton Utils doesn't find it at all. When I use Norton Disk editor to look at TarBlock 416 I can read something like "DirReservedArea"  My question: How can I get rid of this error (without reformatting of course)
===== This is a posting for my friend who does not have USENET access ======== ===== Please contact him (not me) directly, thank you ========================  1. The Mac II is supposed to have a socket for the MC68851 PMMU chip. Could anyone let me know where that socket is on the motherboard. I have obtained a PMMU chip (16 Mhz) from a surplus store, and would like to install it onto my Mac II (circa 1987). But I cannot see the socket myself when I tried to install it.  2. Could anyone send me the pinouts for the Mac II SCSI DB-25 interface?   Thank you.
THe origional bit is missing but long/short follows:      The origional poster asked if he/she could use any old vga/svga monitor with a centris (hence title).        The answer ot this question is an unqualified yes.  You can use any old vga/svga monitor with a centris.  You do need an adaptor (I use a Mac vga-q from james engineering (510) 525-7350) to run between the two machines.  THe adaptor I have mentioned will convert a centris to a three row vga/svga 25(?) pin adaptor for your monitor.      NOW, the special interest disclaimer.  The above answer is correct for using a vga monitor at 600x400 resolution.  IF your monitor will sync to 56Khz horizontal the above adaptor will allow you to choose 800x600 resolution (I prefer this on my 1604s).  THen You have the question of matching adaptors and sync rates.  I would advocate calling James engineering because they seem to have a clue.  As to the comment by the person who said don't bother calling Apple because they will treat you like an idiot this is totally untrue.     APPLE WILL TREAT YOU LIKE A F**KING ASSANINE IDIOT FOR EVEN CONSIDERING GOING THIRD PARTY AND IF YOU WANT THIS TREATMENT WANTS YOU TO PAY FOR THEIR THECH SUPPORT LINE (the supposedly compitantly one) AND THEN STILL HAS NO FU***** CLUE.  personal experience.  also the tech suppport for the vga monitor makers doesn't see to extend to Macs (Sony, Magnavox).  In addition to this to find out the info you will have to call dealers unless you can find the sync rates elsewhere as ads like Hardware that fits (*&^%&%^%$$(&**&^(%&%^$!) that rate monitor resolutions give the most favorable rating (which usually means you can get this if you use a specialized application video card).(i.e. "well you can get a resolution 1168x832 on this $5,  9" "super smelly sock" monitor that will let you display TWO FULL PAGES side by side.  All you need is our reasonably priced "oder eater" video board for $27,000 and it will give you an ultra fast horizontal sync rate of SIX fast kilohertz and three Khz vertical.")    Note:  with the sony 1604 at least on the centris 610 built in video board using an 832x624 adaptor, there is a boarder of an inch + to the sides of the image after adjusting the horizontal width as favorably as possible.  Using a 800x600 adaptor this can be reduced to about half an inch.
Hi all,  I just got a La Cie 240 meg external hard drive.  Speed tests show that it's substantially faster that my internal 105 meg Quantum HD.  Supposedly the 105 and the 240 (both LPS drives) are roughly rated the same speed.  Why such a  large difference?  Marc.

I've just completed a successful upgrade of a an SI to 27.5 mhz. I'm waiting on delivery of a 62 mhz clock for a final speed trial. Definitely needed the heatsink. The CPU was quite hot to the touch at higher speeds until I glued on a 90 cent Radio Shack sink.   I made a call for reports of failures last week. No reports have arrived here. Locally, in Seattle there is a reported CPU damage due to the user slipping with the iron and putting a gash into the board -- not exactly a problem due to the CPU running too fast.  I think it would be nice to have a poll to report top speeds and system configurations including PDS and Nubus cards which were used. I'd be happy to coordinate and report results

I recently made the mistake of purchasing a SONY CPD-1320 monitor for my Mac IIci.  The monitor is very good, however it seems that the IIci does not support VGA (then why did you buy it you ask?  I am stupid I reply).  What I am looking for is a video card, preferably 8 bit, which supports VGA.  I am interested in any information I can get.  Offers for the sale of applicable cards will also be considered.    Thanks in advance.
Hi.  I think I have a problem with the stereo sound output on my Quadra 900, but I am not totally sure because my roomate has the same problem on his PowerBook 170.  Any info or experience anyopne has would be greatly appreciated.  When I hook my Quadra up to my home stereo system, the following types of sounds (mono, as far as I can tell) all play fine through BOTH speakers:  system beeps  (already provided ones such as Indigo and ones I record)  Armor Alley Spectre Spaceward Ho!   But, the following games only play out of the left channel:  Lemmings Out of This World  (awesome game, BTW) Glider 4.0 OIDS   But still, STEREO system beeps do play in stereo, through BOTH speakers. (The one I'm specifically referrring to is Apocolyptic Beginning, which my roommate downloaded from some ftp site (sumex?))   All of the symptoms are the same on my rommates 170 (he can't run OOTW because he doesn't have color).  We're both running system 7.1    Does anyone with Lemmings or the other three games I mentioned above get sound out of both speakers on a Mac II class, Quadra, LC, PowerBook 140 or greater, Centris, SE/30, etc... (stereo) machine?  I used to have a Mac II, and I sort of rememeber Lemmings playing in stereo on that machine, not just on the left channel.  (I could be mistaken, though.  If there were a problem with the Quad 900's and PB 170's, I am wondering why the system beeps still play in stereo?  If there isn't a problem with our machines, I wonder why the 4 games above are apparantly written to support only one channel of stereo when they could just use mono sounds so the mono sound would at least come out of both speakers  (like Spectre, etc. do)?  Quadra 900's and PowerBook 170's have the same ROMS (to my knowledge), so maybe this is a ROM problem?  (if so, though, why wouldn't System 7.1 patch over this problem?)     Thanks for any help you can provide!
Hi There, 	I am trying to find out a reliable Power Center, it is basically a surge protector that sits below the monitor and has individual control for each outlet. Some people have an opinion that none of them work well. The ones that I could locate in Microcenter catalogue were:  Tripp Lite's Isobar Command COnsole ($79)  Proxima Power Director (89.95)  Kensington Masterpiece Plus (109.95)  Has anyone used one of these? Could you please send me your feedback on these?  thanks
I'm currently having trouble connecting my PB to a true blue (IBM Model 1513) VGA monitor.  The display is bearly readable but all the details are seperated into yellow and red colors. ie. a window will have two images one in yellow and a ghost image in red.  The background is also a little greenish.  I read some time ago, before I ever thought I would hook my mac up to a VGA screen, about an incompatability with some VGA monitors due to the sync on green signal.  Does this sound like it could be the same demon?  I also read that there are both hardware (putting a diode on the green signal?) solution and a software solution to this problem.  I don't the details does somebody have them the can e-mail to me or post them?  I checked all the FAQ's for this and didn't find anything about it.  Did I miss it somewhere?  This sure seems that it would be a good thing to have in one.  Thanks for any replys.

I have tried almost everything under the sun to get a null modem connection between a Mac Duo 210 and a PC. I have used MacKermit and VersaTerm on the Mac side. I have used Procomm, Kermit, and Softerm (on OS/2) on the PC (or PS) side. I have used non-Hardware handshaking and hardware ahdshaking cables. And know MY hands are shaking from the effort. Nothing has allowed file transfers from the Mac to the PS.  In general, I can type back and forth with no trouble, but only if both sides are set to speeds OVER 9600 baud. I cannot send files from the Mac to the PS at all, and file transfers from the Duo to the PS are not possible. When I do a straight ascii send, I can send from the PS to the Duo flawlessly. I can send Binhex files this way quite fast, and I know that the transmission is error free. But straight ascii sent from the Mac to the PS is full of errors. Unless, of course, I do text pacing so slow that it is like human typing. (well, like 2-3 times faster than human typing).  I would like to hear from ANYONE who has been able to transfer files from a Duo 210 to a PS via modem or null modem. If you can do it, please tell me your EXACT combination of hardware and software. Obviously, I am talking of a true serial port modem, not the express modem. Maybe some kind soul with access to a modem and a Duo 210 can check this out for me.  Right now, I am of the opinion that it won't work at high speeds because of the power interrupts on the Duo, and it won't work at low speeds because of some crazy reason I don't understand.  Could I hear from someone attesting that they can really pump information out the serial port of a Duo 210 fast? Like via a modem or via a sys-ex dump?  Could anyone with a Duo help me out?? I am going absolutely INSANE. I wanna know if the problem is MY Duo, or all Duo 210s, or all Duos, or just me.  Yes, I have checked the cable 1,000,000 times. And not only can I type back and forth, but Zterm alerts the users if s/he uses hardware handshaking and CTS is down. So I know that hardware handshaking is working. And also, According to Zterm port stats, the buffer never overflows.  Please help me figure out what's going on...

Ok I want to get a color Mac I don't care if it is an LC or a Mac II or what but I want to go to a color machine.  I'd prefer to trade my present Mac SE system plus some cash or other equipment for the color system as right now I'm not full of the $$$ to buy a color system outright. Here's what my Mac SE system has...  Mac SE 4/20 with internal 800K drive 20 Meg external External 800K drive ImageWriter II with 4 color ribbon  Stuff that can go with it...... I'm willing to include both of the 9600 modems and the 2400 baud modem if the deal is right.  Keep in mind that both the 9600 modems are less than a month old and the MultiTech modem sells for about $440 or so.  MultiTech Multimodem II (9600 data/fax) U.S. Robotics Sportster (9600 data) Microcom QX/12K         (normally will connect at only 2400 as highest but it will do faster if connected to another Microcom)  The USR and the MultiTech are both brand-new  If interested send me e-mail at dleonard@wixer.bga.com
I guess the real question is:  Who asked the original questions, and why was it so _broad_. Are we talking pure processing power (what kind of processing BTW) isolated from every other factor and influence in the system?   Or are we shopping for a home computer based on the CPU specs (yuck)!  I just finished a project that involves real-time processing of serial data and discovered that the programming interface (assembly) has _a lot_ to do with the "power" of a CPU in a particular application. If what you want to do is easy to code with the instruction set given, then not only is it easy, but it's cheap and quick.  If you have to fake things (like resolving indirection without a LEA instruction), then your cycle count goes through the roof!  well, let's _NOT_ start a flame war about whose computer is better than whose. The orginal question was about classifying micro-processors... having re-read the entire thread, I don't think much more can be said without getting down into specific proposed systems with important details given.
