Interesting IIfx and Nubus Cards
I just picked up a IIfx and it had a couple of interesting cards in it. The first is SuperMac Digital Film Studio in a Box. This came with a cable and breakout box for various video ins and outs. Is this a version of VideoSpigot? The second card is very strange. It is a Blackjack AP1099-04 (c)1987 Apple Computer 630-4179. It has a crazy connector that has 8 female pins and 3 very small male coaxials in it. Is this some kind of mainframe communication card? TIA This IIfx itself is pretty interesting. It was the 100th off the assembly line and was given to one of the developers at Apple. It is painted gold and has a 100 painted on it in big letters. It's pretty beat-up now and is missing the cover, so I'll be doing a brain transplant to a new case. Another Mac saved. Ed = - Ed Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!?

Copying the contents over ethernet goes faster... That just doesn't seem right to me. The cd-rom's maximum speed will 150 kps times it's rated max. So if it is a 4x cd-rom, then it's maximum transfer rate is 600 kilobytes per second. 10baseT Ethernet is generally has a greater transfer rate than older cd-roms up to about 8x. In addition, the Mac file system is somewhat inefficient, especially on cd-roms. The OS may need to seek around the cd-rom, which is very slow (up to 1 second average seek time on older CD-ROMS). When you move the contents to the hard drive, then do the copy, you are drastically decreasing the seek times and probably increasing the transfer rate from the drive. At that point, the network connection would be the bottleneck. = - Ed Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!?

Performa 475's won't boot

They both do the exact same thing: When turned on, they happy chime and the hard drive spins up. Then nothing. No video, No sad Mac. No boot. Won't boot from floppy either (considering no video, that's not a suprise). Anyone ever heard of this with 475's or Quadra 605's?

Re: Connecting Macs via serial ports
Ouch. OK, though I still don't really understand the use of a Null Modem cable. Is it one that reverses some of the signal lines? Yes, the null modem cable swaps the send/recieve signals, so that what you send from one computer ends up on the recieve line of the other and visa versa. Here is the easiest way to 'build' a null modem cable without soldering. 1. Get a Mac modem cable. This is the cable that goes from the Mac modem port to an external modem's DB25. The cable end that plugs into the modem is DB25 male (has pins) and the modem's connector is DB25 female. 2. Get a Null modem cable at radio shack with DB25 female connectors on each end. This cable does two important things; it internally switches the send and receive lines (the null modem function), and acts as a 'gender changer' when it is connected to the modem cable (because the completed cable terminates in a female connector rather than the male connector that we started with on the modem cable). 3. connect the modem cable to your mac modem port, connect one end of the null modem cable to the mac modem cable and connect the other to the PC. You can now use the serial port on your mac to talk to the PC. 4. That's the hardware side of things. You'll need a communication program that can emulate a terminal (like a VT100 series terminal) running on the Mac. You'll need to setup Linux to allow a terminal to log in from the serial port.

I tried everything I thought I might have used but cant hit the right one. Everything else appears to be working. is upgraded to G4 and 1gb of ram. Both computers see each other in their choosers but are asking for passwords. If I am getting this correctly, when you try to mount a shared volume or folder residing on the IIci from the Umax, it is asking for a user name and password before it will mount. Perhaps the situation is more complicated than this, but if not, then there are two places where users and passwords can be set. First, in the File Sharing control panel, you can give the computer an owner and password. So, on the IIci, open the file sharing dialog. You should be able to change the owner and password there. If you do that, you should be able to log on to the IIci from the Umax by giving that username and password when the chooser asks from it. Second, the users and groups control panel (the Multiple Users control panel in OS 9.1), allows you to add users to your machine and give them the privilege to mount your volumes or folders. On the IIci, open the users groups control panel and create a new user and give it a password. You should then be able to mount volumes and folders shared on the IIci from the Umax using one of the new user names and passwords. I hope that it is that simple for you. Ed Murphy __ Do You Yahoo!?

LCIII + SCSI-2 ?
I'm tryng to upgrade from my 160mb hard drive to a 1 gig. I've tried two different drives (ibm, fujitsu), neither can be seen by Hard Disk Toolkit. Both have already been formatted and partitioned and mounted in another Mac, so that is not the problem. Both are internally terminated as well (I formatted them as the only hard drive in a 7200). So, I'm a bit stuck. Both drives are SCSI-2, which the 7200 apparently has no problem with. Can an LCIII use an SCSI-2 drive? TIA Ed Murphy PS: I upgraded my ram to 36mb as well, and the LCIII didn't like the EDO simm I tried. It worked with an FPM simm. __ Do You Yahoo!?
