Re: new to the list-LC help needed

Weird. I'm losing hope here. Any ideas? Stick a 10 megabit hub between the two and use normal cables. Some of the old NICs for 68k Macs don't properly identify their capabilities and some of the newer 10/100 NICs, switches and hubs get all freaked out about it. Another solution, especially if you have a mix of 10 and 10/100 hardware, is to use a managed switch that allows per-port setting of speed and full or half duplex. AFAIK, all the 10megabit NICs for 68k Macs were half duplex. That could be the problem too, the iMac not automatically switching from full to half duplex. = Subatomic conspiracy group: The Free Mesons.

Re: 12 RGB Screen max Colours??

That's also the reason for the sense pin coding and limiting each size of monitor to only one resolution. That's also the reason for not having user controls for adjusting both horizontal and vertical screen dimensions. You're only supposed to adjust the vertical size so stuff that's supposed to be round will be round. ;) However, for a certain few Apple NuBus videocards there are two old utilities for increasing the resolution displayed on certain Apple monitors.

Re: performa 550 not booting
you said: and I ask... I have a Performa 550 that I cannot get to boot. I believe the hard disk is probably dead. what brand? what size? The hard disk was partitioned with Drive 7 and some of the partitions stopped being mountable before the machine failed. how long did it work before it did this? how old is it? With this kind of warning, all vital data on the machine was backed up, so data recovery is not a priority. We tried to boot from a zip disk, but for reasons unknown we couldn't - eventually the zip drive failed to work at all as well. see question below about hot shoeing. I can't find any bootable Apple CD's - can you borrow? although I should have some somewhere. what OS range would you want to try with? I've tried a couple of superbooter floppys as well as Apple's Network Access Disk without success. Here's the symptoms. how are you powering on? chimes or no? [ is machine doing its hardware check, hardware sensing whole system?} Gray screen at startup (mouse moves pointer), Happy Mac! (for about 3 seconds), flash - back to gray screen, flash - back to happy mac, finally the blinking question mark appears on a disk icon. When I attach a zip drive asking the obvious, did you turn off power and hook it up cold before restarting? or did you try to 'hot shoe' plug it in while the machine was powered on? (Universal System 7.5.5 folder built and tested on a Performa 6300), do you have that perf 6300 still? I can see that the disk is accessed in the Mac's scan of SCSI devices. the hard disk? or the zip disk? you mean its icon shows up on the screen? how? Non bootable CD's are ejected, as are floppies (after a brief happy mac). I tried to boot from a different device what device? with the hard disk removed, but that didn't work either. no chimes? anything on the screen? please define 'didn't work' I did get kind of static noise from the speakers, after leaving the machine on for several minutes in what state? diskettes in? out? zip disk attached?? disk in? disk out? CD in? not in? hard drive inside? not inside? (don't know what kind of clue that may be. No signs of obvious damage on the inside meaning you're looking for smoke, charring, meltdown, bad smells, visible damage. yet static noise in the speakers is a sign of electrical discharges. so the damage may be invisible but audible.. static hurts chips: RAM, processors, etc. (I've removed and reinstalled each of the drives which drives? internal? external? HD? zip? CD ROM? please be specific for us and the motherboard). did you take all the standard antistatic precautions in handling each component? I'm about ready to give up, nah, with macs there's always more than one way to approach it. is this the only mac you have? got any others around? but hoped there might be something more I could try. .fall back and go thru the basics from the beginning. ask yourself if you skipped, missed, got lazy or forgetful with any standard steps and checks. is the outlet grounded? are your connections all good and solid and secure? are you using antistatic protocols? are you turning off power or shutting down properly before adding or subtracting peripheral components? do you know what SCSI ID's each device is set to? does this model have a CUDA or reset button on the mobo? are you hitting it before or after changing hardware in and out of the logic board? if you have any other macs, can you test each component on the other mac, to see if it behaves right on that one? meaning, your HD, your CD ROM drive, your zip drive, your floppies, your CD's? how's the PRAM battery in this machine? is your RAM in solidly? what about disassembling things on an antistatic work surface and unplugging and just letting the board 'drain' for a while, and beginning again meticulously with the standard checklist and protocols? neatness counts. wanna give yourself and the beast a rest, and begin again? these are what I would ask myself if i was faced with your sitch. couldnt hurt, might nail something you've forgotten. the beauty of macs is, there's always another way to go. mix n match.

Re: IDE to SCSI bridge [was CD ROM??]
wait a minute. i'm getting confused. SCSI is wider than IDE. this bridge you're talking about. it sounds like its more than an adapter, has a card as part of it too. Is this thing for either kind of device, ? meaning, you can plug the IDE side into an IDE device in order to adapt it to a SCSI connection as well as put the SCSI side on a SCSI device and plug it onto an IDE connection? or is it one way only? pickle says its 5.25 in wide. so it's sized with the assumption built in that it's gonna be put on the back of a device 5.25 wide, like a CD ROM drive or a DVD drive or a big hard drive. and will need the corresponding space in the back to fit it wherever its gonna be used. like a wide tower case, a largish external case, or a desktop with room to spread out. please clarify about one way or two way. does it care which side gets the ribbon and which side goes into the device? anyone got a link so i can see what one looks like? and price?

Re: Eudora 1.3.1 and Big Messages
Alan, I experienced the very same problem on my Mac Plus running Eudora 1.3.1, and since I couldn't get the email sent again, I had to follow a very circuituous route to get the file into one piece. I took the several parts and pasted each of them, in order, into a Word 5.1 document, and then re-saved it very carefully as a text document (no Word formatting, etc.). Since I didn't know of any Mac application that would decode the MIME, I then moved the file to my (gasp!) Windows machine so that I could use WinZip 6.3 to decode the file to its native .JPG format. Worked perfectly! If you can get the file sent to you again, and you can use a later version of Eudora (I think even 1.4.3 will keep the attachment intact), that would of course be best, but you might have to do some variation on what I did, if not. Good luck! Rob P.S. - What's a FeetsMac? I'm using Eudora 1.3.1 on my FeetsMac and it seems to have an aversion to large messages.
