I can't imagine that it would be cheaper  to build an 8 MB SIMM using 1 Mb DRAMs as the 4 Mb parts reached (and  exceeded) bit for bit price parity with the 1 Mb parts some time ago.   It's probably possible to build a single-bank 8 MB SIMM using 4 Mb parts -  this could cause problems in a Q800.  I'm not sure why you'd want to do  this, though, as a dual-bank 8 MB SIMM would be cheaper to build than a  single-bank composite one.
I like it a lot. It is worth the additional expense. The only problem I found is with MS Word (5.1a). If you have a table the is longer than a page and the cells have a visible border, the last (bottom of page) line on the first page will be missing. It makes no difference how the table is formatted. The worst is that it doesn't show up in word's page view or page preview.  --   Arie.
HELP!  	I just received my Falcon 2.2.1 upgrade from Spectrum Holobyte today. My SE is running Sys 7.0.1 with 4mb of RAM. Like the instructions said, I only installed Disk 2 (The program...no start up screen or music).  	I just downloaded Macsbug from ftp.apple.com like it said, and installed it in my System folder. I restarted the mac an hour later, and it  wouldn't completely boot off the internal HD. I get the "happy mac", then it disappears, only to reappear and repeat the cycle continuously. I never even get the "Welcome to Macintosh" message. Norton utilities fixed about 12 new problems, but the same thing still happened.  	What do I do?  	Please e-mail to "orly@aludra.usc.edu"   		THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!   		Victor Orly  ;
If you get teh IIvx ->C650 upgrade, does it include a new sticker to cover the IIvx identifier with a Centris 650 indetifier?  jas --
I posted on here about a problem with a Datadesk 101e keyboard that failed to rebuild the desktop with the command-option keys pressed or to shut off inits when pressing the shift key.  After absolutely no help from Datadesk I called MacConnection tech support.  They tried it out on their Centris 610 and had the same problem.  They immediately offered to get a new keyboard, try it on their Centris and ship it to me overnight if it worked.  I could send them my keyboard back after I got the one that worked.  This is from a guy in Tech support named Dave. It turns out that the keyboard will wrok if you wait for the smiley face before pressing the shift key to disable inits and wait for the inits to start appearing to rebuild the desktop by pressing command-option.  I really like this keyboard so I was glad to be able to keep it.  On the other hand, Datadesks tech support sucks while MacConnection's is great! -Terry

Their should be no difference in the drive itself between IBM-PC and Mac. The two main differences are the formatting of the disk itself (but with the correct software each can read the others) and maybe the cable (depends on your SCSI board on IBM-PC).

They have not, to my knowledge, announced such a device for the LCII, but they could make one, technologically.  The PDS card that goes to the cage simply needs the NuBus controller circuitry present on NuBus Macs.  Why, though, does anyone care about this? dgr has a three-PDS adapter for the LC/LCII. They will soon have one for the LCIII. PDS is better than NuBus for most people in most applications. Granted, there are more NuBus cards. But, most applications that require a NuBus card (like full-motion video capture) shouldn't be done on an LC/LCII/LCIII anyway.

They can all cause trouble.  OTOH, some of us get lucky-- I've unplugged and replugged SCSI and ADB quite often, and never blown anything.  I blew out the ADB by shorting the cable, though.
Well I am using The Home Office. I bought it for arounde $350. It does 14.4. I don't know if it's for data or fax. But the feature I use is the Voic Mail Box, which I really have liked.  ---
A friend is heavily into MIDI and is using a Quadra 900 (maybe 950) with  all but one NuBus slot populated with arcane music hardware and a video card.  He reports 8 bit video is too slow for good real-time display of what he needs to see.  He also reports that the built-in video is even worse.  He's not a Mac guru, and I haven't seen the system, so this is about all I know.  I suspect that his NuBus is heavily loaded, and think improvements might come from a switch to an accelerated PDS slot video card.  Does this sound right?  Who makes a PDS accelerated video card for the Quadra thats worth looking at?  Any other suggestions?  Thanks in advance!
ha... all this talk about changing the clock speed of the q700 makes me ask??  if i replaced the 8mhz 68000 in my plus with a 16mhz 68000 with a 16mhz clock occilater of its own( not shared by the rest of the mac... just the new 16mhz68000)  would my mac work..... and if it would work.. would you think there where be any problems with sound, vidio,scsi........  it seems like a simple solution to keepa dead slow mechine a live a little longer..    Oh if this would not work any idears on how to make it work??? 		thanks 		 		 alex

Purchased last October for $925. Later I bought a used PowerPort V.32 9600 bps internal fax-modem for something like $225, I'm using right now! Works great!  :)  No real complaints. I love my portable system (got a color home setup also. Mac II). Reasoning was that MATLAB programs at school and other simulations of dynamic control systems sometimes took hours (or overnight) to run, tying up my Mac II. I got the PB100 with fast modem to do light work and on-the-run stuff. I figured I'd give it to my little sister next year when she goes to college. It's running System 7.1 now without any problems. Also I sometimes do DEC4015 terminal emulations with MATLAB on our university's VAX_VMS (nice thing that it benchmarks itself as an average of 230 times faster than a mac IIfx). So, the PB100 just does graphical output and terminal emulation (not too hard at all for it). It was a FABULOUS setup !!!!  :)  Weeee!!!  (By the Way, all MATLAB software was on class accounts. I was also the TA for a class that used SIMULAB/SIMULINK. We had site-license and take-home, then-destroy later site-release licenses... No pirating there, incase you're wondering.... Great Program!!! )  Just like to add, whatever future system you get, you can almost never get enuff memory.... Buy it while it's cheap - that is buy it when you get the computer since it's usually cheaper than upgrading... I ALWAYS run out of disk space... But I have a syquest on the Mac IIsi, so I never worried about space before... Got several carts).

So is there any problems putting a drive formatted vertically on its side horizontally?  I got a drive a few years ago with the rubber feet on the side, etc. and have used it like that since (obviously designed for that orientation). However, it doesn't fit under any of the clever places I can think of to place it, so I would really like to lay it flat and put it under a low shelf.  This is probably not a "newer" drive, and it is only 70 meg, but when I bought it, it was a large drive for an average user (comparable to buying a 200 meg drive today). So is my old, 70 meg drive as fragile (or not) as a new 200 meg drive?  Just curious.....
Could someone tell me how to make/find/get the best frontplate for IIvi/IIvx/C650 with internal SyQuest drive?  Is there one available or do I have to make one from the original or CD-ROM one or scratch?  Every suggestion welcome.

I have used both my serial ports with a modem and a serial printer,  so I cannot use Appletalk.  Is there a Ethernet to Localtalk hardware that will let me use the Ethernet port on my Q700 as a Localtalk  port.  Until they come out with satellite dishes that sit on your window & give you internet access from your home, I won't at all be using that port.

This model is one of the two low-cost laser printers that Apple just introduced.  I'm thinking of getting one to use at home.  Have any of you had any experience with this printer?   Does it have Level-2 PostScript? If you've bought one, are you happy with it?
Does System 7.X support all SCSI CD ROM drives?  Or are specific drivers needed for each different make/model?  Specifically, I'm looking at getting a NEC CDR-25, mainly because they are cheap.  I know its a slow drive, but multimedia isn't my interest. I mainly want it for extracting software distributed on CD. Will I need to get a specific driver to use this drive on a Mac?   thanks...Charles

Using the Sound Manager on a Quadra is very well, but using SM on any of the low-end machines doesn't simply work for a decent action game since it just steals too much time from the CPU. This is a fact. By writing directly to the hardware on an SE, it is possible to have 4 simultaneous channels of sampled sound (11kHz) for a cost of approx. 8000 cycles. Exactly how would you do that using the SM, pray tell?  The correct thing to do is to use the SM on the machines that can carry that extra load using the SM means, and to write directly to the sound hardware on the machines that can't. It's not the politically correct thing, but from the developers' point of view it is.

I've seen this sort  of effect when a runaway program (which could be caused by an INIT  conflict, for instance) accidentally wacks on a register in the video  hardware.  Have you tried booting with no extensions and then letting the  Q950 just sit there in the Finder?  You might also want to try changing to  24-bit addressing (yes, I know you can't access your full 64 MB of RAM -  it's just an experiment) as the video hardware registers can't be accessed  then.  Another thing to try as a 'recovery' measure is to use something like  QuickKeys to change the pixel depth of the display.  This reprograms (some  of) the video hardware registers and may allow sync to be restored.
