Re: Disabling the memory test

Hi Makmac. Hold down the option and command (apple) key while opening the 
Memory control panel and you'll have option of turning off memory testing. I 
think it only works in OS 8.5 and above. Good luck. John

Disabling the memory test

I would like to disable the RAM test at start up. Can anyone tell me the key
to hold while opening the memory control panel which enables the option to
turn it off? I'm drawing a blank.

PB190cs has goofy RAM

[Alex Allee]

I have a PB190cs (System 7.5.3) with a 32MB RAM module (Kingston
KTA-PB5300/32) in it. Whenever it is in, The computer will crash
incessantly. The About this Mac shows it correctly at 40MB. GaugePRO crashes
(assuming that it is PPC only), so I can't do a RAM test. If I take it out,
the PB runs fine.

Is it possible for a RAM module to be screwed up enough to crash the system,
but work enough to show up correctly?

My other thought is that maybe there is a compatibility issue between 190s
and 5300s, as this module is marked as being for a 5300. Possible?

Thanks for any help, 8MB of real RAM with 16MB VM on a '040 is pretty bad.
:)

pb520 not seeing power adapter

[Donna Hood Pointer]

I started up my pb520 2 or 3 days ago  to try the 64mb Compactflash in the
PCMCIA card holder. The battery said it was full. It was plugged in. today
the computer is not showing the "little plug" in the control strip where it
shows it is plugged in. The battery is losing charge, so it obviously does
not see the adapter. This is my new adapter. It has been working fine for
several months. I tried wiggling the plug. I plugged and unplugged it from
the computer.I checked that it is plugged in to the wall. I checked that the
cord to the wall socket is firmly plugged in to the brick. I zapped the PRAM
(let it chime 4 times). Anything else? Should I reset the power manager? If
so, I can't remember how. Any suggestions? I am going away Saturday 2pm for
a month, and I'd like to know the computer is Ok while I am gone.

ATA Flash RAM for Virtual Memory

[J. Guevara]

I recently used Tech Tool 3.0.4 to clean up the directory and
optimize/defrag my Flash Card 128MB that I had been using as Virtual Memory
for months (No spit-out and "About my computer" reported VM on the Flash
Card not on the HD). So now my 1400c is doing the "spit-out" thing as some
people have problems with. Originally I solved this buy first turning off
VM. Then resetting, and turning VM on while selecting the Flash Card Drive
for VM. I could have sworn this resolved the "spitting-out" problem at
start-up... Any suggestions?

Thanks,
J.

An option with the OS installation is "text-to-speech." It
comprises a "Speech" control panel, a "Speech Manager"
extension, and some Voice files for, I believe, the extensions
or system folder.

You can install it if it's not there with your system disk(s),
or if you don't have 'em, download it from Apple (somewhere ...
use the search).

Once installed, it will read SimpleText files from within
SimpleText, or to read any ASCII file, there's a free- or
shareware program out there called "The Talking Mouse." All
pretty cool

How much RAM for a Pismo?

[MacinNW]

With the price of RAM as low as it is right now

How much can the Pismo, G3/400/FW handle?

I know that the Apple Specs say that 512Mb is what is supported, but how much 
can it run without any major drawbacks?

I know that with more RAM shortens the time that the PRAM battery can support 
the ram without the adapter or battery, i.e. battery swap. Are there other 
problems?

Since one of the manufactures has decided to shutdown manufacturing for a 
bit, the prices are sure to go up.

Re: Need PB190 help (was Re: Type of PowerBooks)

[Marshall H. Lewis]

I may be mistaken regarding PowerBooks on this one, but:

My belief is that AppleTalk, Classic Networking, and Open Transport are
all independent of one another, and do not need each other.  I use an
AppleTalk network which includes 68K machines that have neither Classic
Networking or OT on board.  Just make sure that AppleShare is installed
from your system  installation disks.  If not, you can select it from
the Custom Install options.  You should have to worry neither about
Classic Networking, nor Open Transport.

If you are in search of OT 1.1.1 with OT/PPP 1.0 only for a 68K machine,
you can find it on my website for download:

http://my.elkhart.com/mlewis/iclassic.html

or

Good Luck,

Outlook Express

Josh: Is this something that should be done periodically as preventative
maintenance, like rebuilding the desktop in the Finder? In what situation(s)
would one want  to compact the database as opposed to compacting it. In what
situation(s) would one want to do both. I run Outlook Express and have a ton
of emails. I haven't had any problem (yet), although occasionally the
program quits by itself (I may be hitting some magic key combo though by
accident.

Re: iTunes on a 540c/5300c?

[ppp3]

Have you tried Audion ?  After numerous recommendations on the iMac 
list, I've found this application to be superior to iTunes or 
SoundJam or QuickTime. If you can't get iTunes to work on your PPC 
540c with 8.1, you might want to give Audion a try.

iTunes on a 540c/5300c?

[Eric Schwarz]

Well, I have a PPC 540c, which performace-wise is like a 5300 (for those of
you who didn't know or didn't care) for the purpose that I'm going to ask
about, so if it works on a 5300, then it'll probably be fine on my 540c.

What I want to know is that, since iTunes can be patched for OS 8.5, can it
be patched for OS 8.1?  My 540c plays MP3s fine with GrayAMP or QuickTime
player, but I rather like the iTunes interface after playing with it on an
iMac ;-)

That's because NIH-Image is designed as a scientific image processing 
and analysis tool...you _never_ throw away pixels in such images..you're 
throwing out data.

At the height of the anti-Apple bigotry around here, we had one new 
faculty member lose months worth of time trying to adapt from her Macs 
and NIH-Image to using Photoshop and Windows to analyzie her 
photomicrographs...stupid stupid stuff

NIH-Image is one reason for the disproportionate representation of macs 
in the life sciences.

WHOA! Head over to the Lowendmac swaplist and get one
for $5 or $10. For $18 you could buy an LCII. Go to
lowendmac.com. then click through to email lists then
scroll down to swaplist. You'll find tons of stuff for
that LC.

You will need to install Open Transport if you want to use
AppleTalk. While you can use "classic networking" on some Macs, if you're
running anything newer than OS 7.1 I recommend you get Open Transport. You
must have at least 8MB physical RAM, which you do have.

Open Transport used to be readily available from Apple's Web site, but
since their re-arrangement of the Software Updates section, things are
really hard to find - you have to locate a Tech Info Library article
about the program/application in question, and it will have a link to
a download. (I thought Apple was into making things *easy*, not
hard!)  You also need an Apple Care user name to get in, which is free,
but still a hassle.

If you are running OS 8 or newer, you should check Apple's FTP site and
try to download Open Transport 1.3 (ftp.apple.com). If you're running
7.6.1 or earlier, you might need to use 1.1.2, which I can Email you if
you need it.

After you fully install Open Transport, you shouldn't have any trouble
using AppleTalk. Just make sure you select the appropriate connection
method (Ethernet, Localtalk ports, etc.) in the AppleTalk control panel.

By the way, rarely does it work to drag control panels from other machines
when it comes to system-intensive software like Open Transport. Open
Transport involves MANY extensions and two control panels. You need to get
all of those files installed for anything to work right. That's where an
installer is always the best choice.

Hope this helps.

Need PB190 help (was Re: Type of PowerBooks)

PB190 -24MB - I think - I use it to run Passport's
Encore, for scoring songs I have to learn off CDs -
given to me by groups I play for. Which brings up my
problem. I've been trying to get appletalk working -
so that I can do backups to other computers on my
network. It said I needed to install Open Transport
1.1.1. Whatever I did - now its saying I need
appletalk 60(I may have just grabbed the appletalk
control panel off a 6100 - :-). When I bought the
PB190 - I made the 50 diskette set of "backups" , but
I can't find appletalk in there either. Any
suggestions?

Re: Speed Doubler and 5300

[Remy Davison]

>Am I missing an amazing feature? Please, what benefit is Speed Doubler with

Paul Fuchs on comp.sys.mac.portables has run some speed tests with the 
5300 + SD 8. MacWorld originally did with SD 1.x in 1995. I've also done 
some tests, although not to the extent Paul has. Paul tested Finder 
functions with a stopwatch w/  w/o SD 8, as well as apps such as Word, 
Excel, Netscape etc.

Paul found that SD 8 doubled the speed of most application launches (or 
close to 2x) or, in some Finder functions, even trebled performance. This 
is absolutely beyond dispute. This is esp. so in non-native apps like 
Word 5.1 - launching it was painful until I got SD (48 hours after I 
bought the 5300). Without SD, screen redraws on a 5300 (or a 1400/117) 
are abysmally slow. If you can't see any difference, you clearly need a 
faster PowerBook. If you don't like underlined menus, switch it off.

OS 8.5 is only 54% PPC native. 8.6 is a little more, but not much. Use I 
Love Native, just as a basic guide to which CPs & extensions are not 
native. Such as:
- Extensions manager
- Trackpad
- CD/DVD driver
- Photo access
- Audio CD access
- File Sharing extension
- iTunes QT extension
- QT Java extras (QT 5.2)

Of course, these are not as important as 68K assembly code embedded in 
the system suitcase and the Finder. Every time the system makes a call to 
something that has(or requires) 68K code, there's a consequential 
slowdown. It may be only nanoseconds, but there's stuff that Apple simply 
can't take out. As a result, the system overhead is higher than it might 
be and, thus, the OS is not as fast as it might be with a given CPU. 

The process manager did not go native until OS 9; the file manager was 
not native until OS 9. While OS 8 introduced improved disc caching, 
rendering SD's scheme unnecessary, the SD emulator emulates a 68040, 
whereas the Apple emulator in ROM only emulates a 68020 (mostly for 
backward compatibility).

RD

Re: NIH Image and GraphicConverter

[Karl Gerlach]

> I forgot the best one! NIH Image is an incredible tool, rivaling
> Photoshop, and is completely free.

Unless the online documentation is outdated, NIH Image does not support more
recent compressions such as .jpg or .gif, in which case, one would probably
need GraphicConverter to utilize these now common formats rather than the
beautiful but space-intensive .tiff. Otherwise, it looks pretty amazing for
freeware. Unless you are a professional in computer graphics and design,
GraphicConverter, however, may be the only app you need. With about half the
images I download from the web, I have to increase the sharpness, clean up
the white values and/or gamma. GC does all of this effortlessly.

There is a freeware program called Goldberg at VersionTracker that can do
basic QuickTime effects. It can crop but not scale an image, and the colors
and brightness look different on my screen than in GraphicConverter or other
graphic programs. Sometimes I use Goldberg to save an image I have
manipulated in GraphicConverter, since GC bloats the resource fork, or I
save as a web image in GC, which strips off the resource fork completely.

For organizing your image collection (I just discovered a nifty site in
Hungary with lots of high quality illuminated medieval manuscripts for
computer viewing, for instance), there are two programs I would suggest:
(1) PICTCompare, freeware from VersionTracker, weeds out duplicates, even of
different sizes and qualities, though not if you cropped the image
significantly. It can handle something like 20,000 files at a time, even in
a folder with subfolders. You can then choose which image you wish to keep
‹- you can open the file in PictureViewer directly from PICTCompare -- and
send the other to the trash. (2) iView MediaPro, shareware from
VersionTracker, that, among other things, produces a thumbnail catalogue of
a particular folder (you can set background color, thumb size, etc.), which
you can also use as a slide show with custom features. You can also rename a
file directly in iView, which is quite handy for internet stuff with
meaningless file names.

Actually, it was only recently that I discovered that Entourage could
automatically include highlighted text as citation in a reply. Before I
would simply copy, then hit answer and paste as citation. Even if your mail
program doesn't have this feature, putting a few "" or a > at the beginning
will indicate the citation. I presume, however, that even PINE supports cut
and paste. This is what I do when I answer a post using eMailAlert instead
of Entourage.
