Linking a LC II with a Linux PC (newbie question)
Hello! Sorry for disturbing the list with a newbie question, but I have no other possibility to solve this problem. Would you please help ? I am trying to hook up a vintage Mac LC II and a Linux PC through an Ethernet link. Configuration is the following: Mac LC II (that with the old small monochrome monitor) 6 MB of RAM System software 7.1 Ethernet adapter (with BNC connector) AppleTalk panel present under System - Chooser, network in on position Linux PC Red Hat Linux 8.0 Ethernet adapter (with BNC connector) Linux atalk software (standard in RHL 8.0) Thin coax cable, 50 ohm terminators, etc. The problem is I can't see anything into AppleTalk panel when I connect the PC (I only have two icons, File sharing and Laser Writer). Since I'm a total newbie on the Mac platform, I have no ideea if there are things like a workgroup assignement, how I can establish an IP address for the Mac, how can I ping another computer, which other programs do I need and how I install them, etc. ... Would you please help? Thanks a lot, Razvan -- Dipl. Eng.

changing HD in a IIci
-- Hi List A few months ago I changed a battery in my IIci so I have the experience of removing the power supply, drive bay pillar and drives. This was not easy because of the difficulty in pulling the power supply. Recently the internal HD went kaput and I want to replace it. The question is: is it necessary to pull the power supply to remove the hard drive which is on top of everything? It looks accessible but is it?

Sorry for the basic question but I've not done this in a IIci. Nope. Simply unplug the SCSI and power cables from the back of the drive then press the two vertical metal tabs on each side slightly towards each other. Then the drive will lift out. You'll have more trouble removing the screws that hold the drive to the bracket if they've never been removed before. After the new drive is mounted to the bracket, gently bend the tabs outward so they'll snap into the plastic drive shelf. Of course you should set the SCSI ID # and enable termination on the drive before mounting it to the bracket. = Truth is, after all, a stronger edifice than a lie.

Re: changing HD in a IIci
dan_A wrote: -- Hi List A few months ago I changed a battery in my IIci so I have the experience of removing the power supply, drive bay pillar and drives. This was not easy because of the difficulty in pulling the power supply. Recently the internal HD went kaput and I want to replace it. The question is: is it necessary to pull the power supply to remove the hard drive which is on top of everything? It looks accessible but is it? Sorry for the basic question but I've not done this in a IIci. Thanks for any info. dan_A No, I've done it without removing the power supply many times. The basic trick is you'll encounter a little frustration with the short SCSI cable attached to the hard drive, and the power cable. I use a small blade screwdriver to pry at the sides of the cable where it enters the socket on the hard drive. A gentle wiggle gets both cords off. For putting them back on I use a pair of needle-nosed pliers as my hands are too fat to reach in and press them back into place. Incidentally, for easier power supply removal, I pry the plastic tong between the power supply and the hard drive/floppy drive assembly with a small blade screwdriver, raise the power supply slightly, then place a larger blade screwdriver in under the AC cord socket and wiggle and pry gently. It raises the power supply and creates a gap between the socket and the case which I pry on to lift-while-wriggling. Gets it our much easier.

I always remember a news article on a BBC program once fortelling of the virtues of Solid State Media. This guy had a PC laptop with PCMCIA and booted it from an MS Windows Boot Card :). Another of the wonderful geniuses of foresight that was built into the Amiga 600 and 1200 (her I go again with the damn Amiga!) was a PCMCIA slot and a supplied 'PrepCard' App that allowed it to use a solid state PCMCIA RAM card, this has been fashioned over time to allow the use of Smart Media, CompactFLASH and the like as disk media, kinda useful on a machine with only an 880k floppy drive, although the very presence of PCMCIA means you could probably hang a LAN card on it if you got the right one! Back to the subject It's almost getting to producing a hybrid between PDA style RAM oriented systems and laptop hardware. -- Mark Benson AIM - SilValleyPirate Visit FlatPackMacs online: http://fpm.gotdns.com Visit my Homepage: http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson Never send a human to do a machine's job. -The Matrix -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
