Re: IIsi hard drive problems... and re "kicking myself"
How about just putting the computer on it's side for half a day? -Alex On 12-Mar-04, at 10:01 PM, Gai Early wrote: Next time I turned it on the hard drive wouldn't spin up. It will happily load from floppies. Have been told that it's the grease in the little hard drive motor which thickens if not in use. Any suggestions? Hi: Suggestion: - ensure that you have disconnected the computer from AC power. - disconnect the monitor and set it aside, especially if it is sitting on top of the computer (!) - pop the top cover off the computer. As I recall there are two tabs at the rear edge of the top cover which you simply pull up on and the lid with unhook and lift off - remove the power and signal connectors from the back of the hard drive. - lift the hard drive out of the computer. - hold the hard drive in your hand and "snap" it in a circular motion around the axis of the hard drive spindle. What you are trying to do is the "unstick" the hard drive spindle. There is no way to know if and when you have been successful but in my experience two or three swift snaps either does the job or you're toast. - reassemble everything, turn on the computer, and see if the drive spins up.

Janet uses a old webtv setup for internet currently, buggy as they are with their IR keyboard and mouse... We seen a few good excuses on this list, I kinda like this one I'll be going down my list of addresses, clicking off which ones to send to, and if the cursor lags on one name, and then jumps ahead to another, I might have checked/ clicked a stoke, meant to indicate what i want to be the next name entered, but the system processes the signal while the frame is on that intermediate name that i did not want checked, and enters it instead. how often do you read the entire header of email names you cued up, to see if it's everybody you meant to send it to? do you even memorize everybody's email address in your book? or do you trust the machine to do it? i wrote dan, offering to wipe his singular name out of my book, so that error can never happen again, but he's dead sure i did this to harass him deliberately, on a 'spam list'. by that stance, then every thing i ever send anyone must be spam. guess I'm just excluded from polite company and relegated to the sewers of netdom. guess dan thinks i am incapable of speaking to anyone in email, and i exist only to write spam. guess i'm not fit to keep an address book or initiate contact. I'm to speak only when spoken to, and never venture to show anyone anything i saw on the net for myself... what gets me, is that he threw me off the LISTS. i didnt 'spam' the lists. and i didnt 'spam' him-- and i dont keep what he's calling a 'spam list'. i was using my system--with all its glitches and lags and aggravations, which i might add, I've gotten damn tuned to-- and can usually kill an unwanted action by reflex, by now--but this one got thru-- and he got an unwanted forward he thinks proves that I'm rude and inconsiderate and a troll, out to get him. i guess no one is allowed to ever make an error. i guess systems have to be perfect and failsafe and absolutely never hitch or hiccup--in his world. i was reasonable. i was polite. i apologized for machine and human error. i made a reasonable offer to rememdy it on my end. wasn't good enough for him. only banning me from the community was good enough for him. it was dan, the person, at his own screen, that this mistaken forward went to. not to the LEM lists. and not to some 'spam list'. not unless he thinks any person's address book is a 'spam list'. but instead of blocking ME --from his PERSONAL email reception--which would have made sense--he eliminates me from the POSTING lists--which makes no sense at all. As you'd image this is a portion of Janets mail, she does write alot. It seems to be a easy enough mistake to get over and its not like this list can't use more active listers. Posted to the list since some people liked Janet and might wonder how she came to be some dreaded spammer also a warning for those of you who have Dans email address in easy reach. Offlist isn't off list where he's concerned. Now some of you would like to see me gone.

Re: Mac II drive
A mac expert explained to me that as drives get "old", the internal lubrication thickens up and the motor that runs the drive is not stong enough to start up the drive from a dead stop, yet the motor is still strong enough to spin the drive if it were already spinning. My Mac IIsi appeared to not spin the other day, so I put my Mac IIsi on it's side, (while it was off, of course), and let it sit that way for an hour. Later in the day, I tried the Mac IIsi, and it turned on for me. I have no idea if that made a difference or not. Perhaps the internal oil "moved" while the Mac IIsi was on it's side (while it was off, of course), and made it easier for the disk to "start up"? -Alex Dear Vintage Macs: A friend of mine has an old Mac II. A few days ago the internal hard drive refused to mount. I tried using some old utilities to scan the bus to detect the drive, but nothing showed up. I tried using an old version of Norton Utilities (2.0) to see if I could fix this drive, but again to no avail. Any other suggestions on ways to mount this drive? I would really like to take any data off this drive. Roland :) -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...

Re: what monitor sizes?
>Speaking of vertical tubes, what ever happened to the concept of >monitors that supported display of both "landscape" and "portrait" >images (e.g., Radius _ (I can't recall what it was called). I think it had something to do with the cost of CRTs when the full page monitors were around. Larger tubes (17"+) were prohibitively expensive, so the monitor makers released roughly 14/15" monitors oriented vertically in order for users to be able to view full pages.

Welcome to Foster Farms!
Found what was apparently an LCIII in a dumpster (sort of) today. I saw the guy throw it in, so I went after it. :P I opened it up to see what treasures were inside. Turns out it is an LCII with an LCIII lid. It's a very odd LCII though. First of all, it's got an FPU socket where the solder pads normally are. On each of the four ROM chips, there is a sticker that reads: Foster Farms ROM 1.0F2 01/29/92 HH 99C583 Apple Confidential ©Apple 1983-92 In the top left of the board where it normally says "Macintosh LCII" it says "Foster Farms" On the bottom of the case where the label should be, there is an orange sticker that says: "This device has not been approved by the Federal Communications Commision. [sic] This is not, and may not be, offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased until the approval of the FCC has been obtained." Also, the fan looks nonstandard, but I could be wrong about that. I haven't tried booting it up yet. It's got an 80MB HD, but no floppy. What the hell is this thing? -- Alex Allee [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- * Please note new email address! * -- Visit EnigMac!

Hell, even Apple has all but abandoned it. Just watch, there is going to be a backlash against all of this stuff. "Introducing the brand new Macintosh 2150! Available in Platinum.

Why do you want 7.5.2? It's pretty bad, at least on my 190. If you have the RAM for it, go for 8.1. If not, go with 7.6.1 or 7.5.3/5.

Look at the curve of the top front of the bezel vs. the straight line connecting the bezel to the rest of the case. (The line on a 6100 is very different due to the CD bezel) The angle of the photo hides the curve on the right side. The horizontal black line below the floppy is the gap between the CD bezel and the front of the drive. Also look at the distance between the edge of the floppy slot and the edge of the case.

Maybe the OS can't identify the monitor correctly, and is covering itself. (Like if you plug in a VGA monitor, it spews tons of resolutions at you) Are those three resolutions under Recommended or All? See if you can switch to All, 800x600 might be listed there. Then again, AppleSpec (how long till they ditch that?) lists two 800x600 modes, both as SVGA. The only Macintosh mode is 640x480... -- Alex Allee [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Visit EnigMac!

I doubt it would be too hard to make a DB19 passthrough box that split off the power coming out of the floppy port, and then the AEHD+ could plug into the box... as long as you didn't overdraw the port...

It has pictures in it of SE's and such, looks like System 6.0.x or 7.0... It's the old spiral bound style.

I think that I would go so far as to say that most people (not just PC users) are sheep, and hence use PCs. I did. I always thought it would be cool to have a Mac (I remember surfing apple.com years ago, reading up on the 7200 with a PC card in it, thinking how awesome two computers in one case would be...), but could never afford one. Also, the very few people that I knew that used computers all used PCs, so the hand-me-downs I got were PCs. I still like PCs, I just like Macs better. I use this 7500/132 (thanks Aqua) as my main computer now, instead of my P3/533. A vast majority of people use PCs, so when first time users ask for a recommendation, a PC is their answer. Mac users tend to be people willing to venture into new territory. They like what they find, and in turn, recommend Macs to their friends.
