[q] New Low End Mac email lists
We've created some new email lists, but they're different from the old ones. We're using Google Groups, which means you can sign up, change your status, and read postings using your browser. I hope to eventually move other lists to Google Groups as well. The Macintel list, which covers all Intel-based Macs, went live last week and has 57 members. Once the MacBook Pro ships, we're ready to launch the MacBook List. I've also set up a Mac mini List. Details: Macintel List: http://groups.google.com/group/macintel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mac mini List: http://groups.google.com/group/Mac-mini-list [EMAIL PROTECTED] MacBook List: http://groups.google.com/group/macbook-list [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can join any of these lists, but the MacBook List will not go live until the MacBooks start shipping in February. Until then, all Mac-on-Intel discussion should be on the Macintel List. Dan the listmom -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

So transfering the file straight to a pc means you loose the resource fork so once it gets to the emulator the virtual mac has no idea what to do with it - wonderful isn't it? Now you have worked out that stuffit type file will transfer as both data and resource files are compressed into one file. If you have ethernet on the quadra and ethernet on the pc hook them both up to a hub and use Appleshare between the quadra and Basilisk II just as you would between two macs. BII comes with ethernet drives to enable this, add them to your network card on the pc, the ethernet tab in BII will show something under other than greyed boxes once its done, from there you have a networked mac in your pc which you can use to talk to other macs.

Re: [q] neverending mac emulator problem...
okay, to clarify, i have the system disks on the emulator, but they wont read... i click them and they say cant read document to paraphrase... so i am guessing that they arent readable or they are corrupt, since i expanded them both on pc and mac... but maybe your previous email was explaining that this is ok, and that i should just put them on the designated hard disk and proceed. i thought an installation procedure should occur, starting with opening up the install disks by double clicking them... and to repeat i double click these system 7.5.3 disks and they arent opening any sort of install process! thank you for your time, justin I have sent you some instructions for creating a hardfile via the disk tab in the B2 gui which will help. You can not expand a hardfile, as with a real mac mount the disk you wish to copy and the second larger disk then copy everything accross, then remove the original disk and reboot. Windows will also work in this way but from dos for best results - Mac has always done this better. This is a fair list to ask questions about the macos running on top of the emulator, the mac n dos list is better equiped for questions regarding the emulator itself, your very close to getting it up and running. Id keep the hardfiles downloaded from the web as they are, edit things you make, if things go wrong you have good files to restart from. Keep this in mind if you try OS8.x. There is a 5 - 10mb pdf explaining how to set B2 up (including lots of handy pics) which may be worth looking for, sorry I dont have a link on this box. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

So the system model was dropped from the About This Computer dialog, as MacOS would not be able to accurately identify the legions of non-Apple clones.

When you download mac files on a pc you loose the resource fork, to keep it simple the mac no longer knows what to open the file with. If you have downloaded files from apple they will be either .bin or .hqx, either way *if* the drives you have mounted have stuffit or macbinary installed you can drag the install file over to stuffit to unpack it to a diskimage, unpack all and run the install from fthe first disk on the desktop and install to a fresh hardfile (stuffit is requred, you can get away with macbinary if you are using .bin files).

I have sent you some instructions for creating a hardfile via the disk tab in the B2 gui which will help. You can not expand a hardfile, as with a real mac mount the disk you wish to copy and the second larger disk then copy everything accross, then remove the original disk and reboot. Windows will also work in this way but from dos for best results - Mac has always done this better. This is a fair list to ask questions about the macos running on top of the emulator, the mac n dos list is better equiped for questions regarding the emulator itself, your very close to getting it up and running. Id keep the hardfiles downloaded from the web as they are, edit things you make, if things go wrong you have good files to restart from. Keep this in mind if you try OS8.x. There is a 5 - 10mb pdf explaining how to set B2 up (including lots of handy pics) which may be worth looking for, sorry I dont have a link on this box. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

[q] Mac Quadra 950 Power supply pinout needed

[q] Newbie to Mac world...
Hi, I used to own a Mac Plus *long* ago (sadly, it was stolen), and have been a Windoze user for several years. Not by choice, mind you, just easy availability of hardware on a shoestring budget. Recently I downloaded a Mac emulator, Basilsk II, and was sent the ROM files neccessary to run it as a Mac Performa 630. From what I have read, this Mac is an excellent machine to learn on, not too complex or slow. I'm in the process of downloading the System 7.5.3 Update 2.0 Net Install (one huge file, versus many small ones) from Apple's site, but my question is thus: How do I go about installing it onto the emulator? The emulator functions just as a real Mac would, startup chord, happy Mac face, searching drives for a System disk, so no extreme steps should be neccessary, hopefully. (I had an old System 6.0.8 disk, but it didn't like that one..) The file appears to be compressed with StuffIt, from what I can tell from the files extension (/bin) and also .sea preceding that, so from what I can tell, it's a compressed self-extracting archive that's been recompressed. I have the Windoe version of StuffIt Expander, and can burn the file to a CD if needed for the emulator to boot from it, but something tlls me I may need to do more than that. If memory serves, the Mac searches a boot disk for a System folder. If it doesn't find one, you get the disk icon with a question mark. This archive, not having a readily accessible System folder, would most likly be a waste of a CD. So how can I get the System software to install? I'm at a loss - My old Mac Plus never confronted me with this, and my extensive knowledge of MS-DOZE/Windoze isn't worth squat, lol. Also, of note.. If I like how the emulation goes, I may get myself another Mac. I'll be starting a new job June 1st, and will soon have the money (and reason) to treat myself - We shall see! __ Do you Yahoo!?

It has stuffit and other tools to help you decode bin, sit, hqx ect files onto a new larger hardfile. The second link is the Basilisk manual, it might be handy but at 11mb its up to you. When the emulator is running you can mount the pc drive and copy mac files from your win32 partition. This is the easist way but some files like the .sea files may not transfer correctly. This is why you often see .sea.bin or .sea.hqx. These files can be copied from pc to mac and dropped onto stuffit to unpack. I could ramble on about emulation for ages. ;) but better not.

Re: [q] Mac VGA adapter
I forgot something: with one of the Macs came another adaptor. This one had two Mac monitor ports, one male, one female. No dip switches. On one side its writen Supermac, on the other it has some kind of part number and 832x624. Whats it supposed to do? Turn a monitor into a 832x624 one dealing with the sense pins? Can it be of any help in my situation? I suspect the SuperMac adaptor was for a multi-sync SuperMac monitor that could do 832 x 640, to attach to an old-style Mac DB-15 port on a machine that could do that res, but lacked the sense pins to automatically detect it, had to be told that. This would include the 4*8 8*24 series of Nubus cards. I have a MacLiberty connector I got from somewhere that had Mac-to-Mac connectors. and a dial for various resolutions, for just that purpose. Why not give it a try? It might work, esp. with the SuperMac monitor. -- Over, Jutso http://pages.ripco.net/~jutso/ -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Thanks in advance, Humberto All of the above modes are supported by the built-in graphics card on the '040s, at least 640 x 480 on the IIvx. It may be a sync-on-green problem, or some other problem with sync. Are there any controls on the adaptor for things besides resolution? In addition to resolution, my QVS adapter supports, with various combinations of dip switches: Composite Sync (1), Composite Sync (2) -- whatever the difference is, Sync on Vertical, Sync on Horizontal, Separate Sync, Sync-On-Green. Without the right type of sync, the various PC monitors that I have tried can black out, too (with only the power LED to show they're on), or black out, with an amber LED, or have a picture, but with weird rolls or patterns. Most often what works is either Composite Sync 1, Separate Sync, or Sync-on-green. -- Over, Jutso http://pages.ripco.net/~jutso/ -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: [q] Mac VGA adapter
Every 68k Mac with internal video since the LC (except the IIsi) supports extended sense codes, which includes a profile for VGA, which is [EMAIL PROTECTED] The closest resolution used by Apple was [EMAIL PROTECTED] I believe only Composite sync was used on internal video. If you use a nubus video card it may output sync-on-green. I would guess that your adapter just isn't working. If you hook a VGA monitor up using the Mac 640x480 profile, it will think it's running at 66.7Hz, and the screen will roll. Since it doesn't go away with the other settings, I would guess your adapter is broken. Those machines should be able to output [EMAIL PROTECTED] just fine if given the correct sense code.

Re: [q] Mac VGA adapter
Hi Kris, Thank you for your answer. Is there a way to overrule the sense pins information via software?

Re: [q] Mac VGA adapter
I forgot something: with one of the Macs came another adaptor. This one had two Mac monitor ports, one male, one female. No dip switches. On one side it´s writen Supermac, on the other it has some kind of part number and 832x624. What´s it supposed to do? Turn a monitor into a 832x624 one dealing with the sense pins?

You can download the MacOS 7.5 set from Apple, then use it to create floppies, then use the Tools floppy to boot with, which will allow you to setup the internal hard disk. If you can't get this to work (I haven't tried it from the free MacOS 7.5 stuff), I can send you a disk image of that floppy (since its now free, there should be no reason I can't legally do that?). -- Russ -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Best bet i'd guess. The only trouble we had with the 850c was a very bad batch of refills from HP which we naturally blamed the printer for.

Re: New printer for Mac 637CD
I would think that many printers without the serial port would work with an ethernet printserver. Many printers can be purchased with this feature or it can be bought seperately (many routers can have one built in) or you can use a modern computer as the print server. I am pretty sure the mac can print to most printers over ethernet but you may have trouble finding drivers if they are needed. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Hi Stan, I missed the first part of this. . . But sounds like someone suggested you go to your Apple Menu to Control Panels and to Startup Disk. There you'll see the icons for whatever drives you have installed. Select the Hard Drive you want your computer to start up from and that's it. On the next re-boot or startup, the OS on the drive you selected as your startup DISK (which here means Hard Drive) will be the active OS and away you go. Hope that's what you needed to hear. ;-) Terry -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Hi peeps, Does anybody know which version of mac os is best suited to a PPC 8200? It has a 120Mhza 601 cpu, and I'm currently using 8.1, is there any reason why I should upgrade it to 8.5 or 9?

Re: OT: Mac 8200 Whats the best OS to use?
Mac OS 8.1 on an 8200 is probably the highest you should consider going, unless you upgrade the RAM and/or hard drive, like someone else said, too.

The first optimized OS for ppc's, no 68k code. 8.1 is ok, has a small resource drain but is a mish-mash of 68k-ppc code which runs slower on the lowend ppc macs I have here. 8.6 requires a little more memory, not much compared to 9.x whill still has many of the functions of 9. If you can try 8.5/8.6 some how without buying the cd then a clean install of the OS onto the second drive to trail its use would be best, personal taste will make one OS better over the other.

Writer would be 200$ more and DVD/CD writer/reader goes for 499$ additional. I've cabled my eMac to 5400 All-In-One for data and program transfers. 5400/603e cost me 79$ from Computer One reseller.

Also bought Performa 6400/604e which has the awesome sounding startup sound coming out of the speaker in the bottom of the tower case. P-6400 cost 125$ but I forget which reseller company I got it from. Still have Mac Plus, Color Classic and Mac IIfx I started with way back in the misty obscured years of antiquity.

Maybe some sort of copy protection? I've been using PageMaker since 1.x, and I think some were copy protected by key floppy. If it is that, you'll definitely need a floppy for your Mac. By the time of those old programs, no one could think of a Mac without floppy. Maybe without HDD, but not without floppy. Guillermo Mesquida -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

While trying to install from the zip drive where I have copied the disks, it keeps asking for disk 1. Any sugestions to getting around this other than getting another floppy drive for my Mac? First thing that comes to mind is to make a disk image and transfer the contents to it, calling it disk 1 or whatever. Same with the contents of any other disks that make up the program. This is not a perfect way as some installers look for a physical disk in the floppy drive.

Re: Floppyless mac
Floppies still have life in them regardless of what some idiot says, much like crt's but thats for another list. ;) This is true. I have roughly 2000 floppies (this is just 3.5 floppies) and very few have failed me. In fact, I check my Macs via floppies from CMS Enhancements, Inc, (only one of those disks claims to be bad but its for a machine I don't have anyway )Mac TV, LC 520, Color Classic)). Plus, floppies let me save stuff on the PCs at school and then bring it home with me.

You should be able to pop off the key with a flat screwdriver quite easily. Sometimes junk can work its way under there and keep the key from moving down, or make it stick. After you get the key off, a qtip dampened with rubbing alcohol will remove any caked on crud.

Re: Hard Drive in Mac 950
In a message dated 7/1/03 8:04:56 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I would like a bigger hard drive in the 950 server in our old school lab. Am I restricted to only Apple SCSI drives? Yes, and no. If you want Drive Setup to support your SCSI drive, you are restricted to those SCSI drives which Apple specifically supports in Drive Setup. One of those was the Seagate ST-15150N, and Drive Setup will support a generic ST-15150N. It is not necessary to use an Apple-branded ST-15150N. Additionally, using the default Seagate resource as a model, it is possible to support just about any SCSI drive in Drive Setup. Just copy this fSCR resource (it is ID=599) and insert it as ID=128, then use the Get Info function to change the Name from SEAGATE,* to, say, WDIGTL,*, or FUJITSU,*, or whatever. Finally, you can install a huge UATA hard drive using an ACARD N-SCSI Bridge. There is a new one which mounts on the bottom of a 1 hard drive. About $79 from ACARD's US distributor. I presently have a 120 GB UATA drive on my G3 MT server, although it is the UW-SCSI version of this product, as my server is all UW-SCSI and the ATAPI buses are used only for CD-ROM-R-R/W and DVD-ROM-R-R/W drives. Depending upon how much storage you need (or want) the Bridge solution may be the most economical. Also, can I put in a SCSI CD-ROM drive? Any size or brand recommends? Apple made a CD-ROM bezel for the Q950, but it is probably easier delete the floppy drive and open up the floppy bezel to allow passage of the CD-ROM's tray. You will have to remove the EMI shield in order to do this, and it is convenient to have a Simonds (or Nicholson) laminate file, and a LOT of patience. There are actually two CD-ROM bezels for the Q950-type case: 1) one intended for the Q950/WGS 95, and which has the CD-ROM in the upper (floppy) position, and 2) one intended for the WGS 9150 [ * ] , and which has the CD-ROM in the lower position. Both of these bezels are hard to find ... perhaps harder to find than Apple's fabled five drive shelf. [ * ] The floppy in the WGS 9150 was moved to the loudspeaker panel.

PC RAM for Mac
I read the FAQ on the memory. It mentions that PC RAM will work provided that the speed is fast enough. What is the slowest speed that is acceptable. I presume it is talking about the RAM speed and not the bus speed. Also FYI, back in Denver where I used to live, was a weekly magazine that is online now. Most of it was dedicated towards the PC, but would have good Mac articles in them also. If you chose the Colorado version and look ad some of the advertisements, I have dealt with some of them personally and their prices aren't too bad. 72 pin SIMM RAM prices going for around $0.50 a meg used.

Terry, Make your first stop the excellent Low-End Mac FAQ http://macfaq.org/index.shtml, created and maintained by the pickle. Next, sort through all the resources available at http://lowendmac.com/ the LOW End Mac site. The item list down the right side of this page is a good place to start. And if you have time to browse a bit give a visit to both Resources for the Older Macintosh at http://w3.trib.com/~dwood/oldmac.shtml and Resources for Specific Macintosh Computers at http://w3.trib.com/~dwood/specificmacs.html. When you have a more specific question/problem then There are several PowerMac email newsletters where you can get help. There is a very nice selection of these at http://lowendmac.com/lists/index.shtml. As a subscriber (it's free) you can post (e-mail) your question(s) to the group and you'll get back lots of answers from people much more expert than I am. Be as specific as possible in your question giving them the computer type, operating system version, harddrive size, amount of RAM, name and version of any application(s) causing problems, etc. etc. In other words, whatever you think might help the experts trouble-shoot your problem.

NuBus Mac for audio
Hello. I have a Pro Audio Spectrum 16 card that I will be using to record audio to a hard drive or RAM disk. I have some questions about using a computer for this purpose. Would it be more important to have a faster processor speed or faster bus speed? How much would level 2 cache help? What would be the best setting for Disk Cache in the memory control panel? What would be the best OS to run. The processor would be between an 80MHz 601 and a 120MHz 601+. Also heres a toughy...I have found that sometimes when I record to a hard drive, the recording will skip, whereas when I record to a RAM disk it doesnt, or at least not as often. However, the RAM disk is only about 130MB in size, which is good for maybe 25 min of audio (right?). Is there a way I can record to a hard drive but use the RAM as a buffer, so it records quickly but then copies to the hard drive and clears out the RAM disk of whats already has been copied. I have a SCSI card which I guess can back up drives automatically or something, maybe I could use that on the RAM disk?
