386DX is good for MS-DOS (up to 6.2) and Windoze 3.1.  Don't bother
with Windoze 95 on that processor.

In general, a 386DX/8mb will run Linux, but don't bother running
X-Windows, it will be way slow.  Use an older Linux or FreeBSD for a
small memory footprint.  Turn off all unneeded processes (such as
servers like HTTPD, etc.).  Things will be better if you have more
memory, so see about upgrading the memory on the Orange card after you
prove it works.  There may be some weird hardware/BIOS specific to the
Orange card that could prevent it from running Linux, but it's worth a
try.

Yep, the back of the Blackhawk card has a female 13w3 connector on it.

Interesting IIfx and Nubus Cards

[Ed Murphy]

I just picked up a IIfx and it had a couple of interesting cards in it.
 The first is SuperMac Digital Film Studio in a Box.  This came with a
cable and breakout box for various video ins and outs.  Is this a
version of VideoSpigot?  The second card is very strange.  It is a
"Blackjack  AP1099-04 (c)1987 Apple Computer 630-4179".  It has a crazy
connector that has 8 female pins and 3 very small male coaxials in it. 
Is this some kind of mainframe communication card?  TIA

This IIfx itself is pretty interesting.  It was the 100th off the
assembly line and was given to one of the developers at Apple.  It is
painted gold and has a 100 painted on it in big letters.  It's pretty
beat-up now and is missing the cover, so I'll be doing a brain
transplant to a new case.  Another Mac saved.

The cd-rom's maximum speed will 150 kps times it's rated max.  So if it
is a 4x cd-rom, then it's maximum transfer rate is 600 kilobytes per
second.  10baseT Ethernet is generally has a greater transfer rate than
older cd-roms up to about 8x.  In addition, the Mac file system is
somewhat inefficient, especially on cd-roms.  The OS may need to seek
around the cd-rom, which is very slow (up to 1 second average seek time
on older CD-ROMS).  

When you move the contents to the hard drive, then do the copy, you are
drastically decreasing the seek times and probably increasing the
transfer rate from the drive.  At that point, the network connection
would be the bottleneck.

Apple disk utilities cannot always see non-Apple hard drives.  There is
a patch for Apple HDSC Setup 7.5.3 that allows it to see non-Apple
drives.  Your can find this and other hard disk utilites on Gamba's
page at http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/hd.html.  Download HDSC and
the patch, apply the patch, then copy the patched version to a boot
floppy.

I can think of two other possibilities.  It may actually be an 9" amber
CRT substituted for the B&W (I think this very unlikely)  More likely,
it is a coating on the monitor surface.  If you were going to create a
fake, that would be the easiest way.  It might also explain the writing
on the CRT - so no one will try to clean the CRT (because it would
removed the 'valuable' indication that this is a prototype) with a
solvent that might take the coating off as well as the marker.

Any mac drive needs to be formatted and partitioned before it can be
mounted (before the drive icon will appear on the desktop).  It may be
that the previous owner reformatted the drive before getting rid of it.
 What exactly happens?  Are the micropolis drives formatted and
partitioned for the Mac?

It depends on the game.  Some may not fit in 100-250mb (not sure what
size zip you are getting).  Others may have issues with the fact that
the zip unloads the head after a period of innactivity.  That could
cause stuttering or other issues.  But, many may work just fine.  You
just have to try them.  If you do copy to the zip, make sure you name
the zip volume the exact same name as the CD-ROM volume.

A 3.6v Lithium battery - $10.99
Another working mac - priceless

Actually, I'd sell it for the right price, but that's not the point.

Thanks for your help.

Yep, it booted then promptly complained about the date.  Pickle, should
this little trick go in the FAQ?

Performa 475's won't boot

[Ed Murphy]

I actually have two separate Performa 475's that won't boot.  One
someone just gave me, the other I've had for a long time.  With my
first one, I took it out of storage, opened it, dusted it, then tried
to boot.  The other I just tried when I brought it home.  They both do
the exact same thing: When turned on, they happy chime and the hard
drive spins up.  Then nothing.  No video,  No sad Mac.  No boot.  Won't
boot from floppy either (considering no video, that's not a suprise). 
Anyone ever heard of this with 475's or Quadra 605's?  Seems strange to
have it happen on two separate 475's in the exact same way.  At first,
I thought I must have delivered a static discharge to my first 475, but
now I'm not sure.  Any suggestions would be helpful.  TIA

Re: Connecting Macs via serial ports

[Ed Murphy]

> Ouch. OK, though I still don't really understand the use of a "Null 
> Modem" cable. Is it one that "reverses" some of the signal lines?

Yes, the null modem cable swaps the send/recieve signals, so that what
you send from one computer ends up on the recieve line of the other and
visa versa.  Here is the easiest way to 'build' a null modem cable
without soldering.

1. Get a Mac modem cable.  This is the cable that goes from the Mac
modem port to an external modem's DB25.  The cable end that plugs into
the modem is DB25 male (has pins) and the modem's connector is DB25
female.

2. Get a Null modem cable at radio shack with DB25 female connectors on
each end.  This cable does two important things; it internally switches
the send and receive lines (the null modem function), and acts as a
'gender changer' when it is connected to the modem cable (because the
completed cable terminates in a female connector rather than the male
connector that we started with on the modem cable).

3.  connect the modem cable to your mac modem port, connect one end of
the null modem cable to the mac modem cable and connect the other to
the PC.  You can now use the serial port on your mac to talk to the PC.
 

4. That's the hardware side of things.  You'll need a communication
program that can emulate a terminal (like a VT100 series terminal)
running on the Mac.  You'll need to setup Linux to allow a terminal to
log in from the serial port.

Here is the info from www.radioshack.com on the null modem cable:

$6.99   Reg. Price Brand: Aesp 
Cat.#: 950-0186 Model: C-212FF-10

There is a patched version of Apple SC Disk Setup that should work.

Re: Mild curiosity...

[Ed Murphy]

If you install Macsbug, the system monitor and debugger, you can root
around the system and watch all your applications run.  Unless you are
developing software, then the only real use for macsbug is to quit a
program that is not responding.  This won't always work, but if it has
entered an infinite loop, it works pretty well.  You can download
macsbug from the apple site.

If I am getting this correctly, when you try to mount a shared volume
or folder residing on the IIci from the Umax, it is asking for a user
name and password before it will mount.  Perhaps the situation is more
complicated than this, but if not, then there are two places where
users and passwords can be set.  

First, in the File Sharing control panel, you can give the computer an
owner and password.  So, on the IIci, open the file sharing dialog. 
You should be able to change the owner and password there.  If you do
that, you should be able to log on to the IIci from the Umax by giving
that username and password when the chooser asks from it.  

Second, the users and groups control panel (the Multiple Users control
panel in OS 9.1), allows you to add users to your machine and give them
the privilege to mount your volumes or folders.  On the IIci, open the
users & groups control panel and create a new user and give it a
password.  You should then be able to mount volumes and folders shared
on the IIci from the Umax using one of the new user names and
passwords.

I hope that it is that simple for you.

Nope.  I swapped the EDO simm for the FPM simm, so I can't even go back

LCIII + SCSI-2 ?

[Ed Murphy]

I'm tryng to upgrade from my 160mb hard drive to a 1 gig.  I've tried
two different drives (ibm, fujitsu), neither can be seen by Hard Disk
Toolkit.  Both have already been formatted and partitioned and mounted
in another Mac, so that is not the problem.  Both are internally
terminated as well (I formatted them as the only hard drive in a 7200).
 So, I'm a bit stuck.  Both drives are SCSI-2, which the 7200
apparently has no problem with.  Can an LCIII use an SCSI-2 drive?  TIA

Ed Murphy

PS: I upgraded my ram to 36mb as well, and the LCIII didn't like the
EDO simm I tried.  It worked with an FPM simm.
