Since I needed additinol online storage (rather than just a backup or archiev e disk), I choosed Bernoulli drive. I use Adobe Preimere and Quicktime movies alot. you ran out of storage real fast.

I think the original poster meant opening the mouse, not just releasing the ball and getting to the rollers. I found that on the original ADB mouse, sometimes unscrewing the two halves allowed for easier cleaning.  If the original poster has his answer, I'll ask: How do you open the new ergonomic mouse? By open, I mean split the two halves to get at the guts. It isn't obvious to me based on the 5 minute look I spent with one at the office yesterday as there are no visible screw heads.

Perhaps the reason is simple--maybe the marketing people who put together the brochures and price lists weren't clear on the FPU issue.   Afterall, Apple's literature is not always 100% correct. A funny one I noticed recently is that some of the brochures on the Macs with CD capability refer to the "auto inkjet" feature. This should have read "auto inject" feature (as it does on some other correct brochures I've seen from Apple). Since it was correct on some older brochures, I can only guess that someone edited the copy, saw "inject" and thought it was a typo and changed it to the more familiar word "inkjet".
Someone mentioned a while ago that the Duos were scheduled for a  10-18% price reduction, according to 'newsbytes'.  Is this definite? Does anyone know when it will take effect?  And what is 'newsbytes'? Thanks.

Dear Mac-friends,  I've seen the following problem om three Mac IIsi machines all with 17 Mb RAM installed (70 or 80 ns SIMMs).  If the contents of a window are being calculated and updated a lot of strange horizontal lines are temporarily generated on the screen.  The lines translate to the top of the screen and have a slightly lower brightness than their surroundings (they are a few millimeters apart). I admit that they are vague, but they can still be distinguished clearly, especially if the environment (i.e. the rest of the room) is a bit dark. Applications which produce this effect are: - the previewer of DirectTeX 1.2 (i.e. DVIReader 1.2) - Kaleidagraph 2.1.1/FPU  The machines use their built-in video and drive the old  Apple Hires Monochrome screen (two monitors/cable sets tried).   The effect is independent of the settings in the following control  panels: Memory (adressing mode, disk cache)          and Monitors (nr of greys/colors).  Have you ever seen this effect too ?   Is there a solution ?  Thanks, Fred

Nope.  I keep my Mac running all the time since it also acts as a usenet node and exchanges mail and news every half hour (I run uAccess) and receives all my faxes.  I do turn off the monitors hooked up to it.  They produce more heat than I want - it can be warm in my garage office in the summer.  I've got one of those handy power control centers ($25 at Fry's) to I just flip the switch in front when I start or stop working.  By the way, this strategy seems to be somewhat endorsed by Apple since their new Color Classic will turn off its own monitor after a certain length of idle time.
I've just installed a 5.25" tape backup in my C610; lot of the issues are the same.  So, to answer your questions...

Where do I connect > this switch??  Can the computer just "tell" with internal drives?  You probably want to hard-wire the SCSI ID with shorting jumpers.  Put it at a convenient number like "1".  You *could* cut a hole in the back of the machine to route the ID switch, but why go through the hassle?  You probably won't be needing to frequently change the ID of your internal drive.  >	I noticed that the drive will lay over part of the motherboard (I >didn't look closely, but I seem to recall it laying over the ram that's >soldered onto the motherboard?  Would that cause problems?  Yeah, when I first installed the tape drive I was a little concerned too.  But it's no problem, the device is designed to fit just fine with the overhang.  It shouldn't reach back beyond the ROM/RAM/VRAM SIMMs, though.  >	One last question!

Should I just >cut a hole in the plastic panel that is currently holding tmpty place?  You can special-order parts to mount the device from your local Apple dealer.  The relevant parts are:    922-0358  blank bezel faceplate   922-0850  CD-ROM carrier [i.e., generic 5.25" device mounting bracket]  Note Apple's unfortunate choice of name for the slide-in bracket to mount a 5.25" device.  The service techs I talked to said, "Oh sure, we stock those."  Of course they were thinking of the CD caddies to hold a CD disk when you stick it in the drive.  As far as I can tell, Apple does not sell a bezel faceplate already cut out for a standard 5.25" device.  (Why not?  They advertise these machines as being able to accept any standard device in the 5.25" bay, why not provide the faceplate?)   They do sell a cutout for their CD-ROM drive (of course), but that's of no use.  I'm going to hack up the extra bezel I ordered to make a cutout for my tape drive, which is a standard 5.25" device.  Good luck with your SyQuest.
We have a user that has Word 5.0 and is using symbols such as pi and other mathematic sysmbols, plus doing fractions, etc.  The document shows up on the screen with no problems, looks fine.  When she tries to print it on a IIg the pi changes to an upside down caret, and several other symbols change to double quotes at bottom of character, plus some little circles appear between words of the fractions instead of spaces.  This happens on a IIg laser printer.  Tried it on serveral macs and two different IIg's.  Prints fine on an NT and NTX laser printers.  What's wrong???

I can imaging that they are getting hard to sell, given that   1. a C610 is way faster, and is comparable in price.  2. an LCIII is about the same speed, and is way cheaper. So your dealer may well be trying as hard as he can to convince people that IIvx's are a much better buy than a C610 just so he can get rid of all his old stock!  No disrespect to dealers or the IIvx intended!

Terry, I recently bought an LCIII and a Datadesk 101E. I don't remember trying to rebuild the desktop with it, however it did give me a strange problem.  When I held down shift during startup to disable all extensions, nothing happened. I tried it with another keyboard, using the same adb connector cable- and it worked with the other keyboard. The shift key on the Datadesk keyboard worked well otherwise. I checked the dipswitches and they are fine.  Try disabling your extensions and tell me if it works.               I am annoyed with Datadesk.  I sent them the keyboard in the mail for inspection/repair/replacement.  The technician on the phone said they have a 10-14 day turn around time- meaning you should receive the inspected/repaired keyboard in that time.  Well, they have had the           keyboard for over 3 weeks and I still have gotten very little info from them about it. It's annoying because it cost me $12 to send them the keyboard and their technical support line is not toll free. tell me if you have a similar experience with them.
Hello. I have a question (or two) about the serial ports for the powerbooks (specifically the 145 with system 7.0.1). Is there a difference between the serial ports on the powerbooks versus any other mac, say plus or ii?? I have heard, though not confirmed by apple that the serial ports have problems at high speeds.  I also heard that sys 7.1's new power manager 'fixes' this problem allowing speeds just as any other serial port.  My particular use is that I have a 6811 EVB board that I need to interface with my powerbook via the modem port at 9600 baud.  Currently, we are interfacing using mac pluses.  I set everything up just as in lab and nothing.  In fact, the powerbook locks up.  Can anyone help, inform, advise? I would appreciate it.   I would prefer email since I don't read the news at all. I will post a summary if enough response is generated.  Thanks.   Faisal M. Bhamani faceman@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu

The Quadra 700 goes thru extensive initalize routines of its hardware, read's PRAM, obtains all info from last session including the volume setting, and then executes the sound procedure for the startup sound, and wait's on the SCSI controller to respond to the boot up code.   If the DRAM produces an error, or a registers cannot be read from a device, or the device corrupts that address/data or control paths, then if it is possible, the firmware branchs to another sound routine that produces the  'sad mac' sound.   This is a general breifing of the start up procedure of a typical mac. If you cannot control the volume of the quadra, even at boot up, then i feel there is something incorrect with the logic board.   My Quadra 700 does not show the problems you are having.

If Apple didn't put out such a good product -- I'd gladly take my business to -- to -- the 8-bit Ataris.  I think the situation with the Express modem is inexusable for any business. I've had mine on order since January.  Apple finally called me last week -- to tell me that I should have it "by the second week of May."
