Re: Get Service Manuals NOW
http://www.accesscom.com/~gamba/manuals2.html Anyone have any idea why the above page is so slow to load in IE 5? Is the slowness exhibited in other browsers? I haven't bothered to check yet. iCab 2.6 and Lynx (:P) both load it fairly instantly. IE is known to be imperfect (No!), maybe this is one of those areas... I rather doubt it has anything to do with the table structure as I've been playing around with that myself and have found a much-abridged (and fully HTML 3.2-compliant) version of the page similarly slow to load. If anyone wants to comment on that, see this link: http://macfaq.org/manuals.html The page can be as compliant as you want it, IE may not be compliant to HTML 3.2 is some manner. IE is getting confused by the code, hence the slowness. shrug That's my cent and a half. -- Alex Allee [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Please note old address again :) -- Visit EnigMac!

Re: LC V stuff
I met a mac-mad fellow online a few months back who thought a pic I did in photoshop looked terribly fake (It's at http://www.theapplecollection.com/design/macproto/SubWallstreet.html ). He thought that looked fake? Geez, if I didn't know better, I'd say it was real. Looks like an Apple Picturebook. He went on to say he could always pick a faked picture... so I set that one up, showed him a few weeks later and he fell for it... I cackled a bit to myself and then proceeded to not take the pic down :D. It's not a real mac - it's 2 real macs, an LC II case sitting on top of an LCIII and played with a bit in photoshop. I see the resemblance now. Superb work though. You could show those people at SpyMac a thing or two.

It won't work. If you really want to make the switch, a 1.2GHz AMD PC might bring you enough money to get a used (or maybe new) Mac. You can get a Blue White G3 for about $700 nowadays. If you can't bear to get rid of the PC, you can run Basilisk II on top of Windows/Linux. Basilisk II is a Macintosh emulator.

Re: Viruses
About 6 years ago I was hit with the NVWL (no vowel) virus. All the vowel keys on my keyboard were disabled. I was reduced to using PopChar until I totally rebuilt my hd. It didn't erase all my vowels in existing docs, though. Wouldn't want to get it again. I was glad to know that it didn't destroy any files, though. Geez, at least the old viruses were clever. NVIR A (I had it for a while, didn't know it) caused the computer to bong twice on bootup, and would sometimes take hold of the speech synthesizer and say something to the effect of Don't Worry or Be Calm.

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. Since monitors are so cheap now, the market is gone. Good riddance I say. They always looked creepy to me. :) -- Alex Allee [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Visit EnigMac!

Re: SCSI Slot-Loading CDs
If you are thinking of putting a CD-ROM in the LC case *along with* the LC, forget it. Not enough room.

And it still doesn't look like a CD-ROM would fit lengthwise between the front of the case and the logic board. (I don't have an extra drive laying around here to check) Hell, the LC case might not be *tall* enough to fit a 1/2 height drive. Besides, all of that stuff crammed in there with no fan?

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.

Re: Welcome to Foster Farms!
Apple probably did this to make things easier for testing and then dropped it once they finalised the design. It's easy enough to add one back in later if you have a normal LC II, so it's absolutely trivial to add one in the factory. Final Release Candidate 2 of the LC II ROMs. Apple developer prototype. Probably a code name for the LC II project. Yeah, Foster Farms is the LCII codename. Also typical of a prototype. That's what I suspected, but wow, how cool. I'm really on a roll with the rare/odd stuff. (First the AE HD+, now this) What's next, White PowerBook 170? Clear 128k? Ok, probably not. :) BTW, I tried booting it a minute ago. No go. Question mark. Oh well, I'll have to fiddle with it this weekend. Maybe the hard drive's full of top secret Apple stuff. :) I am also struck with how clean the unit is. It is flawless. Not a speck of dust on the whole logic board. Not even any dust caked onto the fan. The only fingerprints that I can find on the aluminum sheeting is under where the floppy drive is supposed to be.

Re: LC with twin floppies
I have a working LC (original), and the case has openings for two floppies. Right now it has one floppy and one hard drive. Is it possible to remove the internal hard drive and replace it with another floppy drive? I have plenty of external SCSI chassis for the HD. I read once on some site that the LC was once available in that configuration (two floppies internal), I think it said it was done for schools. Does the internal floppy controller handle two floppies? How do you get a cable to reach the second one? Does anyone know if it's possible; what you need to do to change things inside; and the parts you need. Has anyone actually done it? It's easy. Just pull the HD out and stick a floppy drive in there. You may need a floppy with the little tabs to snap into the LC. There is a second floppy header on the logic board. Bing bang boom, you've got a double-barrelled LC. :) -- Alex Allee [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- * Please note new email address! * -- Visit EnigMac!

Re: It Really IS a IIvm, pickle.....
I brought home that machine I spoke of a few weeks back. It's now mine. =^) In the section, About This Macintosh, the wording says it is a IIvm. I am going to run Tech Tool on it to see what Gestalt ID it returns. And, I'm gonna check the serial number. Right now, I'm gonna see what Apple themselves may have on this thing. Or, for that matter, anyone else out there who may have some info on a Mac that's not supposed to exist, please chip in. I want some info. I've seen it referred to in the old TIL a few times, but that's about it. If I remember this machine correctly, its tag is blank/rubbed off and there is no model name on the case anywhere, correct? I've gotta wonder if all Performa 600s say IIvm in ATM. Or maybe the ROM guy forgot to change it from IIvm to Performa 600 in the early models. (You are *so* fired!)

Re: play mp3's on 020 or up Macs
The only way I ever got a 486 class PC to play MP3 was to use the AMD 5x86 on a 40Mhz bus so it was running at 160Mhz. The version of WinAMP available at the time had an option to cut the playback quality to 22Khz and downmix stereo to mono. Even at that it would only play without skipping if WinAMP was the only thing running. Like I said, not particularly well. :) But I'm fairly sure I was able to squeeze a full quality MP3 out of that poor old 486/100. Just as long as you didn't, say, use the mouse or access the hard drive. I'm sure if you ran DOSAmp (or damp, xmms, etc) or something, it wouldn't be a problem. An MP3 player for an 040 is going to have to be tons more efficient than WinAMP ever was to play MP3 with realtime decoding. I'm certain it won't do 44khz playback even on an 840AV. There might be a possibility of 44Khz stereo if the player app used the AV's DSP. But I'll for darn sure bet that it couldn't do anything but play MP3, just like my hotted up old 486. ;) Darn, I was looking forward to listening to some tunes while doing a 20-point Gaussian blur in Photoshop along with that final Bryce render in the background on my Centris. :P -- Alex Allee [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- * Please note new email address! * -- Visit EnigMac!

Re: play mp3's on 020 or up Macs
I dunno, there's a chance this will work good. Mpg123 has a patch that makes it use all integer math. It was developed for the Acorn RISC chips, but works on all platforms. This is also an open-source program that has been under constant development for years. I'm not kidding, years. I always thought if there was going to be one MP3 player for m68k, it would be a port of mpg123. Now that I think about it, you can play MP3s on a 486. Not particularly well, but a 486/100 will do it real-time. I've hit a brick wall on the 475. mpg123 crashes out due to a lack of FPU (At least that's what it says) and all of my Quadras have LC040's.

Re: Just Found A Macintosh TV!!
Hello-- I hope my momentary speechlessness won't interfere with my typing, but I just found a Macintosh TV in a thrift store. There was not yet a price on it and they are usually fussy about selling unpriced computers because they haven't been 'tested for safety.' I told them I wanted to buy it whether it worked or not, and they came up with the price of $59. Geez, suddenly my $5.50 mint-ish StyleWriter II doesn't look as nice. :) Anyhow, this thing has crazy plugs on the back that make it look as though my macintosh mated with a stereo system. And the antenna jack, does that mean I can connect my tv antenna, or cable if I had it? At a glance I didn't see any application for watching tv, where might I find that? I know there is probably a faq out there that will answer all but I haven't even looked--I am so ahead of myself with excitement. That's where the TV in the name came from. :) It's got a built in TV tuner. I believe Apple Video Player is all you need. If you don't have it, Apple's FTP does. No denying it now, I think I'm seriously infected with the old mac habit! I believe my Color Classic envy has been squelched! Off to go find out what all this thing will do-- Judging by what owners of these systems say, it's more TV than it is Mac. It's a cool collectors piece though. -- Alex Allee [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- * Please note new email address! * -- Visit EnigMac!

Re: Just Found A Macintosh TV!!
Too bad the Mac TV is like a LCII- (minus). :P Only 8megs RAM, limited to 8bit color in computer mode. Will the TV/Video stuff work with some other 5xx series board shoved into the case? I don't think so. Either the TV tuner is built into the LB, or the tuner plugs into a proprietary slot on the LB. Something like that. You could probably stick another LB in there and have a slick looking 575, but without the TV capabilities. IMHO the Mac TV is the computer equivalent of painting a Yugo black and sticking on a spoiler and plastic styling kit. ;) It still ain't going to break any speed records. Believe it or not, I saw a Yugo done up like this on the internet once. It actually looks fairly good. Of course it probably won't start. :) -- Alex Allee [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- * Please note new email address! * -- Visit EnigMac!

At 22:18 -0400 on 05/09/01, Terry Mathews wrote: Really? I was always under the impression that all that had to be transfered was the motherboard and the female connector that resides in the case. Since the TV is SCSI, and the 54xx is IDE... Isn't this the same hack as the Color Classic Mystic? I mean, aren't the motherboard connectors almost identical? Almost being the key word there. You have to add 3.3V power via a regulator, do a LOT of hacking to the chassis since the logic boards are a different size (though you could probably transplant a chassis from a 58x series Mac), and use a connector from a 630 series (or any other Mac with that style logic board connector) that you do *extensive* rewiring on for it to work. I'd give it about five or six hours of dedicated work, not including finding the parts you'd need... If you really want a black all-in-one Power Mac that bad, a 54xx (or whatever) plus masking tape and black spray paint works surprisingly well.

Re: the power of a vintage laserwriter
Well, it works fine from system 6 to mac os 9.1, but mac os x is giving me nothing but postscript errors. Somebody on the Macnn forum with a IIg had no problems though... Maybe it has something to do with the IINT only handling postscript level 1 and the IIg being postscript level 2 compatible. PS level 1 gave me a ton of problems on a LW Select 310. It's a pretty worthless printer nowadays anyway (not supported in Windows or MacOS), but I must have wasted a ream of paper just on the error messages it spit out. I eventually gave up on it.

Re: the power of a vintage laserwriter

Well, the first two print faster and have an ethernet card, but the outcome pretty much look like the same to me... Plus, the LWII looks a lot better than those new bulbous miniature flimsy plastic laser printers. It's also a lot cheaper to get fixed.

Re: Slots in LC III
OK, just so I am clear here Q605 - The four slots by the Power Supply are for RAM and white slots (large one and a small one) across the board are the PDS slot(s)? The two slots right next to the PSU are VRAM slots. The one white slot near the middle of the board is a RAM slot, where the RAM goes in somewhat diagonally. The large white slot on the far side of the board (3 rows of 40 (?) pins) is the PDS slot. Performa 450 The 2 slots by the PS and 2 by the fan are for RAM and the white ones (just like those mentioned above) are the PDS slot(s)? Is the large square slot labeled U13 (near the CPU) for an FPU? The slot parallel to the PSU is for VRAM, the one perpendicular to the PSU (and right along the fan) is for RAM. Again, the white connector on the far side of the board (3x40) is the PDS slot. The square socket (U13) is for an FPU. (This is a Rev.B board, but I believe the Rev.A board is the same.) -- Alex Allee [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- * Please note new email address! * -- Visit EnigMac!

On a MSDOS/Windows PC, the .pif extension identifies a file as being a Program Information File, that is a file that provides Windows with instructions to run a given DOS program, and the parameters with which to do so. I'd be willing to bet that in this case, the PIF file instructs the PC to run, say format c: /q y. In another words this is undoubtably a trojan of some sort. The reason I'm mentioning this on the list, is because I use this email address exclusively for list correspondence and eBay sales, so there is a fair chance that a malicious user could be harvesting email addresses from these lists in some lame attempt to be some sort of cYb3r733r0r1s7 just like in the newspapers. This thing won't affect Macs, but I'm not the only one who uses a PC here so look out. Anyone who wants a forward of this email is welcome to it. I'm surprised you haven't gotten it sooner or at least HEARD of it before now. It's the Sircam virus that everybody's been whining about. I have gotten it about four times. And I just sit back and feel very smug and superior, since I use a Mac and am therefore immune. I wanted to get some Sircam stuff so that I could feel the same way. Not a single frickin attachment. Either I have no friends, or everyone I know is smart enough to realize what a virus is. :) Let's see, do I know anyone who forms sentences like 'I send you this file in order to have your advice.'? -- Alex Allee [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Visit EnigMac!

According to both AppleSpec and the Apple Online Museum, that monitor's max resolution is 800x600.

Re: User Guides

Which one is the newer one? I've seen both as well, and may actually have a copy of each around here somewhere. I think, IIRC, that one of them is just a bit newer and covers System 7.1 and its details a bit more. The other one came out just after System 7 did and doesn't deal with 7.1 as much (if at all). I've got one of the User's Guide. 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 seem to remember seeing a Macintosh Reference, and it was regular bound, so I assume it's the newer of the two. -- Alex Allee [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Visit EnigMac!

Re: 800K to 1.44MB?

It uses SCSI for all the data transfer. That's too bad about the AE; sure wish there were an easier way to hook that and the StarDrive up to my Plus. 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... What fun would it be to have to plug two things into the wall? :) -- Alex Allee [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Visit EnigMac! Updated 07/29/2001 www.freehost.nu/members/enigmac/ _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: How Many Types/Sizes of PRAM Batteries for Mac?
GURU is no longer maintained in download form (unless someone gives me a darn good reason*). There is an online database at gurulounge.net. GURU 2.9 can be downloaded from Low End Mac. *I've reverse-engineered the file format for the machine profiles with ResEdit, so I could conceivably distribute new machine profiles if I had the desire and felt like it. Or an open-source Guru.. GnURU anyone? :) -- Alex Allee [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Visit EnigMac! Updated 06/19/2001 www.freehost.nu/members/enigmac/ _ Do You Yahoo!?
