The monitor I have is big enough (16 inches!) for me to use, but I do not like it at all, because it literally takes 5 seconds for a menu to disappear (you still see a shadow of it). It's a The Big Picture monitor. The II has a video card in it, but I'm not sure if it can support color, because the The Big Picture monitor only displays black and white.

I do not have Silverlining 5.5 which is supposed to be the best version for this. I have formatted with a patched version of the Apple HDSC tools (7.3.5) I re-initialized the driver with this ver. Would another formatting tool do the trick? Can one (or SL 3.5) be downloaded anywhere? It doesn't seem worth it to pay $ for a tool to try see if it works especially if it is likely an obsolete tool! Tks! Dave R. ~~~ I'm thinking the IIci doesn't like the La Cie formatter. It's newer. Made for OS 8. Google for a formatter called Lido 7.56. Use it to partition the 6 gigger to 3-two gig partitions. Install your OS on the first partition and use the other two for apps. You can also format the drive with your HDSC Tools (7.5.3) if you remember to partition it into three, two gig drives. Add a System folder, (7.5.3?), and then go on to reboot it. Once you get there, try re-partitioning it to the full 6 gigs. If you see success, go on and add you OS and programs. Jeff G -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Screaming LC
Folks, I'm doing some volunteer work at my son's school, trying to keep some venerable hardware in use. I've got an LC that I'm trying to set up for the kindergarden class to use for practicing keyboarding and mouse manipulation. It starts up with a satisfactory 'Bong!' and seems to be running System 7.5.5 with no problem. However, it starts screaming and squealing like an AM radio in a really bad reception area. The problem is definitely in the sound generation, not the hard drive bearings. (I swapped hard drives to no effect; removed sound/fan module and problem went away). Can anyone suggest a way to fix this? Certainly I can clip the speaker leads, but then the soothing 'Bong!' goes away. :-( Is this an indication that bit-rot is setting in and that I should just part out the box to salvage other boxes? I have absolutely no money for 'upgrades'. Repairs will have to be made out of salvage or my own resources. TIA for your help. The squeal COULD be a bad Sound Control Panel. Got a way to replace it and try again? Jeff -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

The LC475 is spoken for, I just need to fiddle with a few things more then get it boxed and weighed for shipping. Yes, the size of the monitor DOES affect the colors the 475 will produce.

I know there was one more version of the DayStar Turbo 601 Control panel after 1.1. It was obtained from DayStar after sending a Turbo 601 in for a ROM update so that a IIvi/IIvx using it could have more than 256 colors on the built in video. After downloading the 1.1 software from DayStar and reading the instructions on updating from the 1.0 control panel, it's obvious that all DayStar did was pop the card into a IIvi or IIvx with the 1.1.x control panel installed and boot it up. :) I just wonder what advantages the 1.1.x ROM would provide for a Turbo 601 in any other Mac? The main problem I have is that even though SCSI Manager 4.3 is in the ROM in the Turbo 601, it just will not work correctly even if it is enabled before a clean install of the system is done. It crashes and apps that require SM4.3 claim it isn't there. Install with SM4.3 off and it's OK but still no apps that require it will work Wonder what would happen if you ran Wish I Were and changed the Gestalt ID?

I was tinkering with my Compacts yesterday. I have a Ehman removable disk drive that came with two 45 MB disks. These disks had some vintage programs, games and Sys. 6.0.5 on them but no virus protection. Iv'e had them a while and used them in conjunction with a Plus and three SEs. I never had any indication of a problem. Yesterday, I decided to add a copy of Disinfectant 3.6 (the version I have) to these disks. I had WDEF A, in the desktops and nVIRAA in the Systems and Finders. WDEF A, had also migrated to the desktops of 8 out of 12, 800k floppies and one Zip disk I had been using with these Macs. So no we're not safe, these old viruses are still around and ready to infect. Fortunately, the programs to eradicate them have already been written. Does anyone know if one can network an '000 - '030 machine to a later machine and run a current version of Virex on them? Will it find these old infections? Fortunately, those old viruses can be eradicated by the old virus programs. I had nVir a and WDEF on a couple old floppies which spread like wildfire through half of my floppy-stored programs. I ran SAM by Symantec from 1992 and Disinfectant 1993. The first killed the virii while the second verified the deaths by coming up clean.

The main difference is the plus and the software from that time being less bloated.

Opening the case; I lay the case face down on a soft pad and removing the 5 screws, four in plain sight on the back and one under the battery cover. You need a long (about 8 inches) T-15 torx screwdriver. Opening the case can be difficult. A screwdriver WILL DAMAGE the case. I use the edge of a steel ruler. Sometimes a sharp blow will separate the cover. In all the cases of Compacts I've disassembled, the method posted by someone long ago has far-and-away been the best and least damaging: Lay the compact face down on a towel folded double, or your bed. Undo all screws. Place the torx driver into the head of one of the top, handle-area, screws that is still in its cavity but completely loose, and give a sharp blow to the top of the driver. It pops the top loose. Then you place a thumb on the plug socket and the SCSI ports and pry with your fingers. This is the least damaging way I've ever used. And I've had 100% success using it.

The Installer script for 7.1, if you click on the Customize button, will offer an option to install system software for Macintosh IIvi/IIvm/IIvx. Is it the Ghost of Macintosh Future? Nope... apparently Apple planned a IIvm, but has said This string was included when a Mac IIvm was in planning and was never pulled out. We'll be satisfied if this is the worst bug left in System 7.1 following its beta-testing period.--- --- Q What is a Macintosh IIvm? One of the System Enabler files defines the computer in gestaltMachineType 45. Is this just another name for the Performa 600? The Macintosh IIvx Developer Note says that the Performa 600 returns type 45. A Apple had planned to release a model called the Macintosh IIvm but consumer testing showed that users thought vm was an abbreviation for virtual memory. This was about the same time Apple was about to introduce the Performa line. So, to avoid confusion, the model became the Performa 600. There are, therefore, three models in the v series: the Macintosh IIvi, Performa 600 (Macintosh IIvm), and Macintosh IIvx. As you can see, using the nonreleased Macintosh IIvm designation confuses people, so try to avoid it. So it's really a IIvm, sorta;-) b.b. My stumbling block lies in the fact that it shows that it's a IIvm in the About This Macintosh window. If an owner of a Performa 600 can show me where their machine returns that bit of info in the About window, I'll drop the case. Otherwise, I'm ready to do a screenshot and upload it somewhere to prove my point.. Jeff -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

In one extreme case, I took the top off a drive and spun it by hand, with an external connected, to save the data. Jeff -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Handgun ban, personal attacks, The Power of Fear....
-Original Message- From: THE ROCK [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Vintage Macs [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, July 25, 2001 11:14 AM Subject: Re: Handgun ban sig, personal attacks There is no danger in a man liking guns, any more than there's a danger in him expressing his liking of God, or religion in general. Adding a sig is his way of showing his beliefs. It's OUR job to idly observe the event, and maintain our own beliefs, either silently, or vociferously as we are compelled to by our fear of something different. Tolerance for differences keeps one well rounded and balanced. Intolerance is the key that opens the door to hate-based structures such as Fascism, Racism, Apartheid and all those other anti-human endeavors. We need to guard our selves. Make certain we're above the intolerance. All philosophies are welcome on the Internet, and here in this usually tight group of Vintage Mac collectors, we are the model of tolerance. Because we are Mac People. Please try to bear this in mind when you are confronted with threads like this one. It's better to display your tolerance for differences, and gather around what brought us all here to begin with: It's The Mac, It's Supposed To Be Fun.

Re: 128K and colour classic
-Original Message- From: Nick Canterucci [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Vintage Macs [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sunday, July 22, 2001 8:12 PM Subject: 128K and colour classic Hello fellow vintage mac heads.. Also does any one know anything about an upgrade in early 1984, called monster mac...? which added a second MB type board, to the mac's..giving the mac the option to connect an scsi HD... I came across one.. It seems to me that IIRC, the Monster was one of, or THE, first in the upgrade market for adding SCSI capability to the 512, in addition to adding RAM, up to a total of 4MB. Like my property of Apple Computer 512, this board is wide and fat. Mine uses a mounting known as a Killy clip. A row of tall pins surrounding the 68000 chip that the board pushes down onto. The board in mine is called a Mac Rescue. Then the board also has the slots for more RAM and the connector for the SCSI port which bolts in where the big PRAM battery used to go.

Re: LCIII Utilities Disk
-Original Message- From: roland drake [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Vintage Macs [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Monday, July 09, 2001 5:15 AM Subject: Re: LCIII Utilities Disk Dear List: I have an old version of Norton Utilities (version 2.0) from which I would like to make an Emergency Floppy Disk. The two Emergency disks which I have are for earlier models than the LCIII. I tried creating a boot disk with a minimal System 7.1 on it, but I could include Norton Disk Doctor and Speed Disk on the same floppy. There simply wasn't enough room. Is there a way to create a boot disk and include these two applications on the same floppy? Roland :) No way to make more room, either, on a floppy. You ma y make a little headway by making a minimal install onto a floppy, then remove all but the system AND finder. See what you can fit there, then.
