Re: newer printers with older macs
Ideally you'd built a headless UNIX machine, a tiny one, that could be tucked out of the way. The small Sun SPARC systems make nice print servers, however, they will process PostScript very slowly. It's really too bad that you can't get a fast/cheap PC that will run headless. Of course, you can ditch the monitor and keyboard once it has been tested and put into production. would Linux be able to do this? m~ -- iriXx www.iriXx.org copyleft: creativity, technology and freedom?

was: nubus ethernet
Hi all, I have a very fast ADSL connection (up to 150 kB/s), but my LC III (20 MB Ram Fpu) and my Asante nubus Chipset LC 20028 Nic card (MacCon-A, 32k Ram, 7.3.5 Driver (That's what the Asante utility displays)) don't really seem to care. Downloading a 2 MB attach can take me up to half an hour! What's the problem? Hardware (there's a fpu slot or similar on it) or Software (Drivers are from the macmuseum)? Can I swap the fpu to the card? (does it make any sense?) What should be the max speed achievable with my setup?

Re: quik 30 help
thank you! that's extremely helpful. i actually seem to have the model without a video connector (boo-hoo), but the jumper blocks sound right. at least now i can play with the settings more intelligently and use tattle tech/tech tool to test the effect of each setting (though i suspect i'll have to power cycle after each change). i'm also now glad i segregated some of my faster 4m simms (i got a boat load cheap on ebay last year), hopefully the board will take advantage of 4m simms. i suspected the large connector was more or less a pass through, i'll have to see if i can make an adapter for an ethernet card or just make a custom ethernet adapter that fit's right on ( i've got design info for 2 of them from the motorola or ti site, not sure which at the moment). Different models of the Quik30 may have different jumper configs. The memory size jumper block, 5 pins, lets you select the size of SIMMs installed on the Quik30 board. Jumper 1-2 for no SIMMs, 2-3 for 1M total, or 4-5 for 4M total. The memory wait state jumper 2W, 2 pins, is installed for 2 wait states (110 ns max) or removed for 1 wait state (70 ns max). The FPU clock jumper block, 3 pins, is 1-2 MAIN for shared clock (FPU speed == 68030 speed) or 2-3 ALT for separate crystals (typically for a 16MHz FPU combined with a 25MHz 68030).

Trying To Recover From a IIci Crash!
-- Having a problem with my 11ci. While doing a network transfer from my S900 it crashed. When I tried to restart the external 1Gb drive (which is my startup drive) came up but the internal drive didn't appear and couldn't be accessed by Norton, Disk Warrier, Disk First Aid. I removed the external SCSI chain and the 040 processor card. No luck. Unfortunately I have an old non Mac cd player and can't start up without the enabling Spirit extension. I tried zapping the PRAM several times. All I got from this was a worse situation; the external startup drive would now only come up when the shift key was depressed. If I didn't hold the key down I get a startup smile face which then goes to chimes of death, black screen, scowling mac. So I dumped finder prefs, N.G. I took all the control panels and extensions out of their folders and got the black screen. I took the folders out and let the sys make new ones. Black screen. I tried access with old software on floppies but they come up as unreadable. I also tried using a CDRW drive hoping that I could get startup from a Norton or DiskWarrier CD, since the drive has the Apple ROMS. No success. So I have no access to the remaining external drive except with all the inits off. My specific question, aside from my choking cry for help is: What else besides the control and extension folders does the shift key depressed cancel out? I remove all the extensions, cps and their folders and still can't get a startup if the extension key is not held down? The key is seemingly canceling something else that's corrupted. Any ideas will be very appreciated and I hope there are some, because I'm out of them at this moment. dan_A -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: older macs with newer printers--different question
On Wednesday, Oct 30, 2002, at 23:43 Europe/London, Marten van de Kraats wrote: The whole point of using modern inkjets is their ability to print high quality photo prints. If it is just for printing small docs, you might as well use some old hp deskjet/deskwriter or keep a fabled LW IIg around like I do. A modern inkjet printer that is only a 'great small-time document printer' just isn't good enough. Utter pishaw (I did change that word too!). Name me ONE £50 (Euro70?? - I'm not gonna ask any of you guys in the US as everything is much cheaper there!! ;) ) inkjet that can produce a decent photo quality print. That's how much my Lexmark cost (admittedly second hand but it's only 1 year old this Xmas). OK if you buy a NEW £80 inkjet printer you expect photo printing as standard, at 1200dpi, but a cheap $$ printer is not expected to do stuff like that. I also think some people do buy inkjets as small-time document printers only, as low cost laser printers are too expensive and only do black and white. When I said they were not too good at photos I didn't meant the output is atrociously unacceptable, it's just not on a par with Epson's photo printing engine (because Lexmark printers use a lot less ink buy using a clever system for dithering, but it's optimised for document colour not photo printing). The average unknowing person can't tell the difference. From 'sitting on the mantle piece above the fire' distance it looks really good on gloss paper, it's just a little flimsy when scrutinised. And by 'small time document printer' I meant small business, shoulda made that clear I think. I wouldn't have bought a Lexmark if I'd needed a photo printer, I'd have bought an Epson. The fact is my dad has an Epson Photo Stylus that is only 9 months old and produces professional quality photos, I can use that if I need to. I do a lot of printing of text files, resumes and Illustrator drafts as well as other stuff like that that needs colour but not photo quality output. My z52 is a great printer for that kind of thing and produces black document print and block colour that is on a par for sharpness with a low cost laser printer. I have my doubts about this being true. Considering the costs of both the ink cartridges and glossy photo paper, having your photo's developed and printed by some photo shop doesn't seem to be that bad a deal... The inherent flexibility of digital photography allows you to cut costs by discarding the pictures you don't want before the developing stage. This cuts costs all round. Also home users can view pictures on TV or the computer meaning you only really have to print them out when you want to frame on and stick it over the fireplace or send it to a relative or friend. Besides high quality digital cameras aren't exactly a bargain either. 3 megapixel cameras, such as the Olympus Camedia C-300 Zoom my mum got for here birthday, come in well below £300 for the camera themselves. She got the package which included 2 sets of NiMH batteries, 2 64MB Memory cards and a case for £350. The picture quality is exquisite and sharp as a pin. Need I got any further? Good driver, bad driver, what is the point when the printer in question isn't good enough... Erm, it's a perfectly good printer thanks, and the drivers are very good, as I said. And on the subject of drivers I only have to utter the word Epson on OS X lists and see people flee in all directions screaming. I think they have gotten it sorted out now but the nightmares surrounding support for Epson USB printers with the dawn of OS X 10.1 still bring tears to the eyes of grown men...

Re: older macs with newer printers--different question
When it comes to OSX, Epson can pretty much just kiss my #$%#. I never though much of their OS9 drivers either, the printers I had didn't even support desktop printing, and when you have 3 printers attached, that is a big deal. Lexmark OTOH supported desktop printing and the OSX drivers are really well done. They have the same functions as the Windows drivers, only mac-like. When was the last time you could say that the Mac drivers were as good as the Win boxh. Sorry to rant, but Epson is on company that I wouldmumble mumble grr. They do make a great color photo printer though..damn. -Robyn On Thursday, October 31, 2002, at 11:18 AM, Mark Benson wrote: Erm, it's a perfectly good printer thanks, and the drivers are very good, as I said.

Re: older macs with newer printers--different question
Mark, I am happy that you are so pleased with your Lexmark printer, but the fact remains that it is a crap printer, that can't print photo's as well as an epson, canon or hp inkjet and is, when it comes to text stuff, much more expensive, in purchase and definitely in usage, than a second hand laser printer (mine cost 12 euro, talk about cheap), which has the added advantage of being able to work with anything from a floppy driven Mac Plus running system 6 to a dual processor G4 running Mac OS Xor a pentium 4 running windows xp or linux and all that on the same network.

Re: Trying To Recover From a IIci Crash!
My specific question, aside from my choking cry for help is: What else besides the control and extension folders does the shift key depressed cancel out? I remove all the extensions, cps and their folders and still can't get a startup if the extension key is not held down? The key is seemingly canceling something else that's corrupted. You didn't say what System you are using. Some older ones keep extensions hanging around loose in the System Folder and even under the later Systems, some older extensions still need to go in the System Folder. In particular, depending on the make of your 040 card, there might be a driver or enabler it needs. Is it still out? If you have trashed the old folders and their contents, the System isn't going to rebuild them for you. You will need to reinstall the system (which it sounds like you can't). If you didn' trash them, try putting them all back and turning them up one by one using Extensions Manager. The old Apple CD-300 drives will boot on the IIci and you can probably find one cheap. BTW, it seems that you are assuming that there is a software/driver problem with the internal drive. It may be a hardware problem that caused or was caused by the crash which would explain why none of the diagnostic programs could see it initially. Good Luck.

I'm using sys 7.5.1 on the IIci. I didn't trash the cp and extension folder's contents. I moved them to the desktop and tried adding some back that would enable me to mount a cd or get on the network. The thing is, that even the empty folders in the sys folder crashed the machine. I have to look to see if there are any loose inits in the sys folder. Is 7.5.1 an OS that tolerates loose inits? The 040 card is a Sonnet, which is one of the first things that I removed. Made no difference. I also tried using MountEverything software which indicated hardware damage to the internal drive. This whole thing resulted from a crash... or a crash resulted from a hardware glitch. If I can get to the internal drive I would be able to see if I can restore the volume or at worst create a new volume.

Does anyone know what the card is? Is it incompatible or has it just broken over the last few years. (I haven't used it for years and am just trying 7.5 on my mac). Also, does anyone want to sell me a couple of LC III FPUs and Ethernet cards? I'm in the UK but could pay shipping if they are cheap.

Gimp-print is a set of drivers for The Gimp and GhostScript. There is a story behind this, naturally. There is a program called The Gimp that is basically a free alternative to Photoshop, written primarily on Linux systems, but will run on Windows, *BSD, Solaris, etc. Because the printing situation for UNIX sucks, two things happened: gimp-print was created as a plugin for The Gimp to get good color output on lot's of printers whose UNIX drivers support was poor or non-existing. It eventually got to where the Gimp drivers were better than the originals in some areas. Since a lot of people wanted this quality of drivers for GhostScript too, gimp-print was modified to work as a set of drivers for that too. Then CUPS come along and, naturally, the gimp-print enhanced GhostScript is a perfect fit for it. Clear as mud now, eh? :) I had a look at this cups stuff and the ghost thing but I didn't know what to do with it. I am following this print server thing with great interest because it will open up a way for system 6 Macs to print to newer printers too. The pieces of all this have been around for many years, but it wasn't until recently that it started coming together as a whole. Apple has chosen CUPS for OS/X printing (they just created a pretty interface for it), and the project is really gaining ground. I don't know if they will integrate GhostScript and Gimp-Print into the whole or not. It would seem like a good idea. Of course, Apple is in bed with Adobe, so that's probably a hard sell for them. Going off-track a moment, it would make a lot of sense for the printer industry to just write drivers for the CUPS/GhostScript system. That way a single driver would support all systems (CUPS can be ported widely) and there would be no more time/resource excuses for only supporting Windows. (smack) OK, I'm awake. There are a number of ways you can go to get a CUPS system running, depending on your needs. While it has support for enterprise-wide printing, you need not mess with any of that if you don't need it.

Re: older macs with newer printers--different question
I finally got my old Epson 800 printing today after dripping Windex down the pipe that connects to the ink tank, scrubbing the rubber cap for the printhead and the rubber wiper blade with wet cotton swabs, using a syringe to saturate the ink sucker that's supposed to prime the printhead and many, many times of removing and replacing the ink tank and moving the printhead with the power off to force it to try priming the printhead. I was happy to finally see the thing NOT beep and turn on the Ink Out light and get a self test printout out of it. So? Anyone wanna buy an Epson Stylus 800 with a full ink tank? :P Heh, it's gonna go with the next el-cheapo PC box I slap together to sell cheap so I can add the cash to my Buy myself more Macintosh bits fund. :) I'll be quite happy to never lay hands on another Epson, thank you! The shop I worked for sold Epson ink, LOTS of Epson ink. We also sold many new Epson printers to replace Epsons with terminally clogged printheads. In contrast, the Canon BJ620 was a breeze. I just removed the printhead (take a lesson there, Epson!) and _washed it out_ under the kitchen faucet. I shook out as much of the water as I could then wiped it off with paper towels. After reinstalling it and four freshly refilled ink tanks, which unlike Epson are designed to _not cause a failure_ when removed and replaced, and it only took a few times of turning the printer on and off before it had ink sucked through the squeaky clean printhead. :) = Work it harder make it better do it faster makes us stronger.

Re: OT: A/UX
I wish I would have bought the Workgroup Server 95 instead of the Workgroup Server 60 I bought way back when. I was steered away from the 95 due to it's UNIX base and concern that the staff would be unable to handle crashes in my absence. However, after running A/UX 3.1.1 on a Quadra 650 and that very Workgroup Server 60 (which is a 25Mhz model with full 040), I am really sorry that I didn't go that way. It doesn't crash! And although AppleShare Pro isn't a speed daemon today, it would have been great back then! Instead I dealt with AppleShare 4.0, System 7.1, and the assorted random crashes. Now that I have these two A/UX 3.1.1 installations running on 040s with max RAM and a 3.0.2 installed on a IICX with 80MB RAM, I think I will actually be able to use them for menial tasks that they are perfect for. Heck if nothing else, I've got a telnet terminal window available to watch packet traffic on my router ports. Plus I get to play with a bunch of old software that was collecting an equal amount of dust until recently. Remember Live Picture? Wild program. Bummer about A/UX is lack of 24 bit video support, making the Thunder IIGX cards a regular slug instead of a rocket. I'm in the process of getting all the Apache, BIND, and other apps I want to pound on updated and running.

Re: older macs with newer printers--different question
As I said, Compaq/Lemark printers were really good. No Epson for color photo printing, but they handled most print jobs well, and you did get above average color quality. We use them (an A4000 right now) as our store fax, copier, and printer. We print color sale tags with them too. We recieve an average of 15 faxes a day. 4-5 pages of sale tags, and only need to replace to cart every few months. Cheap Lexmarks suck though, and Compaq did have a killer warranty in place, they would overnight you a new printer and all you had to do is pack up the old one and send it back prepaid in the box they sent. I'd still rather have an Apple LaserWriter 12/660PS thoguh. I'd sell my right foot for one, and I use that foot a lot! -Robyn On Thursday, October 31, 2002, at 11:43 PM, Gregg Eshelman wrote: For my Compaq A3000 (a Lexmark scanner/copyer/printer in mufti) I can either print with the black cartridge and a three color cartridge or I can replace the black cartridge with a photo cartridge containing Black, Light Magenta and Light Cyan for six color printing.
