Re: Getting a IIsi up and going

[Jim Arnott]

Open up the case.  Right in the center of the motherboard you'll see a
battery about the same diameter as a double A flashlight battery but
half as long.  Probably purple.  That is a 3.6v lithium cell and is
available from many list vendors or your local Radio Shack.  It's in a
standard slip in holder but it has a 'cage' that clips over the top. 
Take a small standard screwdriver and gently pry the ends away from the
holder and the 'cage' lifts off. Remove the battery noting polarity and
replace with a new one and I think that your problem will go away.

Re: IIsi still having problems

[Jim Arnott]

Not that I'm aware of, but I haven't been looking for one... Most that
I've come across are high end stuff.

BTW, a quick Google turned up the following Developer note:

Q Our printer uses SCSI as one of its interfaces and operates normally
with all interfaces except SCSI. When the printer is connected to a
Power Mac 7100 using the SCSI interface, the computer won't boot. If we
turn the printer off, the Happy Mac shows up on the screen, and the
Power Mac boots normally. How do we troubleshoot this problem?

A The most likely causes are termination and bus-ID conflicts. If your
device is using the same bus ID as some other SCSI device on the chain,
it can prevent the boot sequence from preceding. This problem could also
occur if your device has a permanent hard-wired terminator and there is
another terminator on the bus.

There is one other possibility that relates to the Macintosh boot
sequence. When the Mac bootstrap sees a device, it tries to read block
zero. If your printer has a long warm-up period before it can fully
respond to a read request, it may be stalling the bootstrap. You can
check this by booting the Macintosh and waiting to see if the problem
clears itself when the printer is fully initialized.

The best way to troubleshoot the problem is to use a SCSI-bus analyzer,
so you can see the actual bootstrap sequence.

Re: IIsi still having problems

[Jim Arnott]

Going to GCC's site <http://www.gcctech.com/> doesn't give us any
printers that have a SCSI interface.  USB, TCP/IP, serial, parallel,
localtalk, but no SCSI.  I suspect that we need a serial connection
here. Model name would help as GCC doesn't list by number. Elite 12?
Elite 21? Elite XL21?

Blinking ? on disk

[Jim Raper]

Hello, y'all,

Early season question for the list. I'm the person with the Mac lab of
LCII's, 575's, and 580's. When the teacher whose room houses the lab
went in a few days prior to the opening of school, she and a student
turned a few (6-8) of the Macs on. All came up with the disk icon with
the blinking ?. All but one that is. The lone LCII came up fine. I have
7.5.5 on all.

I have not gone in to do anything about this yet. Just wondered if
anyone wants to suggest anything to look for when I do start trying my
magic.

She did power down and reboot a couple of machines but the blinking disk
? icon came up again.
If I remember correctly, that icon means "Can't find a usable system
disk".

I have access to Norton Utilities.

The lab was running quite well with just a few printing problems when we
shut down in the spring for end-of-school.

Jim

Re: sort of about blinking ?

[Jim Raper]

Well, folks,

I went in armed with a few of your suggestions. The first 'puter I tried
Norton's on said I couldn't use it and to try the #2 utilities disk from
the 7.5.3 install set. It booted the machine OK but couldn't or wouldn't
see the HD.   BUT, get this, when I tried to restart, the machine came
up fine right into 7.5.5; desktop had all the usual icons; and system
and finder were good. No problems since with that LC580.  WEIRD !

I still have much to do. I found ethernet connections unattached and
even a section of 6 computers disconnected from some missing power
strips.

While I've got some of you reading this, what would be the best versions
of Norton Utilities and Conflict Catcher to use with these computers?
Remember I have 2-3 LCII's, 2-3 LC575's, and 10-12 LC580's at any one
time. Oops, I just remembered the other lab; I have 16 LCII's in there.
All running MacOS 7.5.5

TIA.  Jim

A little weird "About this Mac..."

[Jim Raper]

I had one of my networked LC 575's crash while surfing today. An error
message suggesting I increase the RAM allotted to the NetNav 2.02 popped
up. I looked in :About this Macintosh" and found I had only about 4 MB
of RAM NOT used by the system files. That is 4 MB out of 20 MB of RAM I
have installed on this 575.

I looked at a half dozen of the other 575's and 580's, and I had pared
the system files for the OS 7.5.5 down to around 4 MB on each of the
others. I looked fairly closely at the system files on the weird one and
could find nothing big or unusual that I had forgotten to delete from
this machine.

I plan to take a detailed look next week. But any suggestions before
then?

Jim

PLEASE HELP!!!

[Jim Dupree]

I wanted to put a "quick and dirty" desktop publishing program on my old 
Quadra 605, which I'm calling back into active duty. I have Pagemaker 4.0, 
and could have used it,but have a small hard drive and want to conserve 
space. Also, I don't do the heavy Desktop publishing work I used to do 
either...

Anyway, I remembered I had picked up Adobe Home Publisher a couple of years 
ago in the "bargain bin" at Computer City. I still have the CD's, but for 
the life of me, I can't find the box or owner's manual -- after 
installation, HOME PUBLISHER requires a valid SERIAL NUMBER before you can 
run it...

I really need help and would love to use this program. I have the ORIGINAL 
installation CD and will happily fax a zerox of the cd to prove it. I need a 
serial number!

CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME???

Thanks a million!
- Jim

Apple MultiSyn 15" monitor help, again

[Jim Raper]

Hello,

I think I saw a thread on one of the lists about a problem with the
Apple Multisync 15" monitor. Of course because I wasn't having a problem

at the time, I paid no attention.

Here it is:

1. Nearly two school years ago fellow teacher's classroom Mac monitor
(15" MultiS) gets yellow-green problem.

2. I bought Griffin Tech VGA to Mac adapter and hooked an extra VGA
monitor to his 7600 Mac.

3. No problem until three weeks ago, when after start-up, he got no
video output.

4. I hooked up my working 15" MS monitor to his computer for a loan
until other arrangements could be made.

5. No problem until late last week when after a freeze-up, he restarted
and got no monitor picture.
He has attempted to restart since then and still cannot get a monitor
response.

Any ideas. I haven't had time to try the monitor on mine at home.

Jim

LaserWriter IIg advice

[Jim Raper]

I have an opportunity to purchase a IIg Laserwriter. According to the
owner its "only defect is that when you print for a long time, the fan
cycles off and on." Isn't that what it's supposed to do? Or is this a
sign of something bad getting ready to happen?

Jim

Apple LaserWriter LS vs NTR

[Jim Raper]

Hi, Listers,

I have a chance to replace an non-working Apple Personal LaserWriter NTR
with a very good still working well, Personal LaserWriter LS on my
classroom LAN of 16 LC580's. Can I network it just like the NTR?
Pictures look the same.

Is there much difference between the two machines?

Jim

Re: Apple LaserWriter LS vs NTR

[Jim Raper]

Hi,

I'm the original poster and after reading the following:

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

No, the Personal LaserWriter LS has no LocalTalk but only a Serial Port.

And it has no Postscript but QuickDraw.

It is a slow and not very appropriate printer for a classrom (no
network, nearly no RAM, no PostScript).

Regards

I was wondering if I can upgrade the LS to NTR. I have a couple of NTR
boards that may be OK even if the printers are not printing properly,
and those boards would have the appropriate connections.

What say you?

Jim

Re: Trouble with a password-protected PB540c, can't boot NetworkDisk, hair falling out, shot nerves

[Jim Scott]

I'll echo that recommendation. However, I was able to get around a
password-locked 80 MB Quantum SCSI with a 1990 Apple ROM recently by hooking
it up in an external HDD, which I then connected to the SCSI port on an
SE/30. Ran LaCie 5.3.1 on it to "see" and mount it at ID 1. That let me copy
the contents to another external drive without using a password. Then I used
LaCie to format and initialize the drive before putting it in another
machine. Once there, I reinitialized it as an Apple drive and got rid of the
LaCie stuff. If you can get a 2.5-3.5 SCSI adapter, then I believe you can
easily get at that little HDD to wipe it clean and start over. Good luck! --

Re: Trouble with a password-protected PB540c, can't boot NetworkDisk, hair falling out, shot nerves

[Jim Scott]

I should have said LaCie Silverlining 5.3.1. It's an older version of
LaCie's disk partitioning utility for Macs. See www.lacie.com for the
current version, which comes on CD. Ask around your local Mac community;
someone's sure to have a copy they'll let you borrow. The file's something
like 242K, so it'll fit nicely on a floppy. -- Jim

Re: Calling IIsi owners

[Jim Scott]

On my SE/30, I get only $0E when "All Slots" is not checked. My SE/30
happens to have a Radius card ("Board Name = Macintosh SE/30 Internal Video,
Board ID =12") in the slot.

However, when "All Slots" is checked, TattleTech also indicates "Nubus/PDS
Slot = $00, Board Name = Macintosh II, Board ID 16."

Apparently, there's some sort of Nubus/PDS functionality built into the
motherboard ($00), and the one tangible slot's number is $0E, never mind
whether an actual card is in that slot or not. Beyond that, who knows what's
going on?

Re: Mac IIci Floppy Problem

[Jim Arnott]

Regarding the floppy drive problem: I'd still bet on a funky floppy 
drive, "new" or not.  Your specified symptoms sound mechanical, not 
electricial/electronic.  If you can, try the drive in another machine 
and see if the problem follows the drive.  If it does, it's the drive. 
If it doesn't, then you may have mobo/cable problems.

Regarding your earlier post on the 8*24GC card:  G-world memory is 
incredibly hard to find and unbelievably expensive. After you spend the 
big bucks to purchase it you find that it doesn't do much because it 
requires apps that were written to take advantage of it and there 
were/are damned few of them.  You would be better of (IMHO) purchasing a 
third party vid card such as a Supermac Spectrum III or such. You can 
frequently pick them up off ebay for pennies on the dollar.

IBM WDS-3200 Level One Hard Drive Failure

[Jim Scott]

Just got in an IBM WS-3200 HDD (200 MB) I'd like to put in one of my low end
LCIII's or compacts. Using an LC 575 running Os 8.1, I can get SCSI Probe,
APS Installer, Silverlining and FWB to see it, but none of them will mount
it because there's no volume to mount. None of them will let me initialize
or low level format it either. Apple HDSC drive setup utility won't even see
it, nor will Apple's Disk First Aid (it's mounted in an external case, set
to ID 1 on Bus 0).

On bootup, FWB (v. 2.0.1) says the drive has a "Level One Failure,"
indicating it's not too serious. IBM's web site has no formatting utility
for this drive. And I can't find anything that will let me tell this hard
drive, which tests as having 0 (zero) capacity as if it's a CD-ROM drive,
that it's a 200 MB IBM WDS-3200. An identical drive from the same source
tested out just fine.

FWB will not format because it "could not get the media capacity." However,
it can get some disk info because the HDD's name is "Big Mac Daddy," so at
least some data is still there. FWB won't let me update the driver because
of an "ESM internal error." FWB gives this partition information in this
order: Title, Name, Type, Start Block, Size (KB):

Line 1:
Partition Map, Apple, Apple_Partition_Map, Start Block 1, 50 KB

Line 2:
Custom, FWB Driver Components, FWB Driver Components, Start Block 101, 512
KB

Line 3:
Free Space, Extra, Apple_Free, Start Block 1125, 2147483085 KB

Help! Should I just toss it? Or is there some magic driver or formatting
utility that will let me turn that free space into usable turf? Thanks to
all who respond.

Re: Unknown SuperMac Video card

Hey Gang:

Gotta SuperMac Nubus Video card, pull from Q700 ---ASSY.
0007532-0001 REV. B Mfg. 1991. It's a 9" card

Looks like it hooks up to an old Apple monitor with the single,
( looks like an RCA ), plug.



Can't find it on the LEM page

Jeff:

There's a removable chip on there, looks like a small ROM chip.
'Says, 1003359-0001A Spigot NuBus Ver.1.0

Is that what your looking for?

Nope, its pretty much a standard Green.
Jeff was just asking me if it said Spigot anywhere on the card. there's
a chip says 1003359-0001A Spigot NuBus Ver.1.0. Does that help?

Supermac  1152.  7" card, right? Made for a 6100.  Andrew

couple Supermac 20" monitors, a 6100 and no card.

This won't solve your immediate problem but if you can locate a copy of

There is also  PPP as well as FreePPP.I cant tell you right "off hand" what
the difference is but look them up & find out the difference is. It'll probably

make things go smoother.

Re: OS copyright

[Jim Arnott]

I'll jump in here...

It's not the developer of the jpeg compression scheme that's trying to 
enforce the patent, it's a holding company that acquired the rights to a 
piece of the algorithm in a purchase of a another company.  IIRC, the 
patent expires in (literally) a couple months.

Read all about it here:
<http://asia.cnet.com/newstech/applications/0,39001094,39067756,00.htm>

An aside: The ISO has threatened to 'delist' the jpeg standard if the 
patent is upheld.

Re: IIfx vs 386DX/40

[Jim Lunceford]

Gregg:

This has to be off topic, so I'll probably here about it, however,
you're about rite. I do Macs because they may not be the best
thing going but the're way ahead of whatever is in second place.

I also build an occasional PC just to break things up a little.

I've got a little 486 ( AMD 5x 86 )/133mhz processor PC
windows/95 with 128mb of RAM I built up
that runs like a pentium 1 /200mhz

It only has one problem

WINDOZE

Not bad technology, but they only took enough good stuff from
OS to make people think it was easy but any way you look at it,
in my opinion, unless you were hand fed on DOS and windows,
since birth, it's still a "distress in the derear"

Thanks for the empathetic ear

Help or advice for LW IIg

[Jim Raper]

Hello, y'all,

I have a colleague who runs a CAD program at our school where I work
part-time. Some of the LaserWriter parts I have purchased on e-Bay went
into his LW IINT to make it an LW IIg. Now he is grousing because
although the printer prints fine on regular 3-5 page jobs, it begins to
print messy, smeared copies and finally jams up whenever he asks it to
print 15 or more copies of a single page document or drawing.

What he is doing is making multiple copies of documents he wants to hand
out to his class as quizzes or class assignments. He doesn't want to
walk up to the teachers' workroom to use the big copier.

I have advised him to ask for a small copier of some sort for his needs.

On the other hand, is there anything I can do to correct the problem? Is
this a warning of a bigger problem to come? Can I clean something?  ??

Jim

Need PDS NICs/RJ45

[Jim Raper]

Hello, y'all,

I'm still working to keep a classroom Mac lab going. I've run into a
problem that has me and an Apple Certified tech baffled. Been working at
it nearly one month now.

One of our "fixes" involves switching from a BNC connected, daisy
chained LAN to NIC cards with RJ45 connectors.

I need 10-12 PDS NICs with RJ45 connectors. Does anyone have any she/he
can part with? Can anyone point me to a contact that might supply some.

I have looked hard at eBay, but one at a time plus S&H is more than I
can afford. The school is even more strapped than last year.

Any help or advice or suggestion will be much appreciated.

Jim

Logitech Scanman

[Jim McGee]

Not sure whether this is proper for this list but I'm hoping to find info on
this device which I acquired from a box of stuff that was going to the
trash:

I have what looks like a SCSI I/F box with model # H7M-1 listed along with a
permanent 25 pin SCSI cable and 25 pin termination connector. The hand
scanner that connects to it has an 8 pin minidin that connects to the
connector at the front of the box. Looking at the rest of the I/F box, I see
power input connector on the back that reads 12V AC and from the date on the
box this hardware was built c.1988 (this is why I'm posting here).

I've tried to find a driver (off and on for 2 days) for this outfit and see
all kinds of PC drivers, but no Mac driver. I've no idea about the power
device needed unless it's something like the power adapters such as zip
drive or the many 115v to 6, 9 or 12v DC versions one sees all over the
place. Due to the 12v AC label, I've never run across an AC to AC version of
these type adapters.

Anyway, can someone enlighten or direct me to sources of info/hdwr/sftwr for
this scanner device?

Have you tried going to the drive mfg's site to see if you can find the

Re: Logitech Scanman

[Jim McGee]

I want to thank both Ken (KADaggett) and Gregg Eshelman for their assistance
in helping me obtain the drivers for this.

I've got this doodad and because "it's there" I will have to bring my IIci
out of mothballs and try it. I remember when the scanman came out and wanted
one badly but didn't have the funds. Along the way I purchased an Apple
600cd (sold) and a Starmax (still upgrading) and have only dabbled in the
vintage area since. I still keep track daily of the excellent help offered
by both Vintage Macs and the Starmax List people.

If anyone has any other info on the scanman, I would be grateful.

Jim

This is off the top of my head, but my 8.0 version of Conflict Catcher has
this feature.
Might an older version (for 68k macs) have the same ?

Sherlock for 68K?

Is there anything like what Sherlock does for 68K? I hope there is 
something better than the search engines on the web I usually use.

Hard drive in 950 server for LCII LAN

[Jim Raper]

Hi, Y'all,

I would like a bigger hard drive in the 950 server in our old school
lab. It serves a 16 unit LCII LAN.Am I restricted to only Apple SCSI
drives? Also, can I put in a SCSI CD-ROM drive? I think it can take up
to 5 drives if I read the specs correctly. Any size or brand recommends?

Jim

CD info into an LCII

[Jim Raper]

Hi, Y'all,

I need to put a program on a little lab of LCII's. The program is on a 
CD. The LCII's have LaCie 1.2 gig SCSI HDs so there is enough room. I 
need to put this program on 16 of them. Can someone suggest an 
efficient, relatively quick solution?

Another question:  When some of these LC's start up, I get a 
high-pitched whine that rises in pitch and volume. Then it begins to 
drop in pitch and volume, fading away to nothing, only to go through the 
same cycle again in a few seconds.
I was working on one of them with the top off Friday trying to discern 
the location of the whine. Finally reached over and disconnected the 
speaker. Whine stopped. Was the whine in the hard drive being passed 
along and through the speaker, or was it totally speaker generated to 
begin with?

TIA,  Jim

Perplexing Pair of LCIII's

[Jim Raper]

I bought a couple of LCIII's to fix up for my little Mac LC lab. I 
upgraded memory to 20 MB, put  a 250 MB HD in one - 500 MB HD in the 
other, and installed OS 7.5.5 on each of them. Everything was working 
fine. Noticed time was wrong so I put a new battery in one. When I 
rebooted, I got no chime and no video. The screen brightened up but 
nothing further. No flashing X floppy icon, just a running HD but no 
error message, no nothing. Guess what happened with the other. Same 
sequence of events.

Can anyone tell me wha' happened? Is there some sort of CUDA thingy to 
push, smack, or prod?

Re: Perplexing Pair of LCIII's

[Jim Raper]

Hi, Listers,

I'm the original poster on the LCIII's that wouldn't start up after 
changing out the PRAM battery. "Ken" wrote me off list and also posted 
here and suggested I "double check the polarity of the new battery". 
Yep, I reversed the battery, got a chime and quick startup.

What is amazing, unusual, strange is that the other four LCIII's from 
that same batch had the poles in "normal" orientation. Why would one be 
reversed? I haven't done anything with the second problem LCIII yet. I 
did pull the battery on it, and it started up normally.

Thanks, Ken, and all who posted for this problem.

Monitor for LCIII

[Jim Raper]

Hello, Y'All,

I bought an LCIII to fix up as a simple game, word processing, 
fiddle-with computer for my granddaughter. I've added a larger HD, 
raised RAM to 36 MB total, and installed 7.5.5. If I can figure out how 
to do it, I will install OS 8.1.

At this point, I wonder just how big and what kind of monitor other than 
the old 12" RGB can be attached to this little gem. Can anyone recommend 
or advise?

How about a 64MB chip in an LCIII?

Hello, Y'All,

 Is there anyone who "KNOWS" a 64MB chip, 72-pin of course, won't work

before I just have to bid on a chip and find out for myself.

Re: HDs on MacIIsi

Hi, I need help with the following:

I started the computer from a floppy. It didn't see the internal HD. I 
tried several times. It acknowledged the presence of another "large

68040 or PowerPC processor in order to mount a volume larger than 4G,

Thank You

Hi:

I am wondering whether the 520 Meg hard drive which you removed from 
the external case and put into the IIsi is now no longer properly 
terminated. It's possible that its SCSI termination was being 
controlled by the circuitry in the external case. It is not always easy 
to just look at a hard drive and see the SCSI terminators, as they take 
different forms. One thing you could try, though, would be to remove 
the 2 Gig external, attach a short SCSI cable to the SCSI port on the 
back of the Mac, and then insert a SCSI terminator block (there may be 
a spare one already attached to the back of one of your two external 
hard drives) to that cable. If this results in the internal hard drive 
now being mountable, it would suggest to me that the internal hard 
drive does not have proper internal SCSI termination.

With regard to 2 Gig hard drive, my thought is it should certainly 
work. In fact, for a time I was quite taken with upgrading IIsi units 
to their maximum capacity and I found a brand of 2 Gig hard drive that 
I really liked for this application. It was really thin, and slipped in 
nicely. However, I think I may have found that these hard drives, when 
put into a Macintosh environment, could not be formatted or partitioned 
using Apple software utlities like Drive Setup or Disk First Aid and, 
instead, I had to use a third party utility like SilverLining to set 
them up.

Another thought is whether you might need a specific version of the 
Apple OS in order to read a 2 Gig hard drive. I am a bit foggy in that 
regard...maybe others can help out.

Keep in mind that, at the same time as I was installing these hard 
drives, I would have been maxxing out the RAM. Not sure that should 
have any bearing, though.

Good luck!!

I am puzzled by this: if I started with a 6.0.7, startup disk, where

Good question. Not sure I can help with that.

FYI, my practice has been to install OS 7.5.5 on just about all the 
Macs which I refurbish for donation, because (I hope I am correct on 
this!) that was the last or most recent operating system which was 
freely distributable, i.e. legal to copy onto any number of Macs.

At one point, Apple made both a CD and a "pile of diskettes" version of 
this package available for purchase from them. The diskette package has 
a Disk Tools disk and that's the way I would get an older Mac with an 
empty hard drive to boot up. So you might hunt around for an OS 7.5.3 
or 7.5.5 Disk Tools disk to try booting from, just in case that OS 
reacts any differently to a 2 Gig hard drive than does the 6.0.7 OS you 
are currently using.

If you would like me to make you a 7.5.5 Disk Tools diskette and mail 
it to you, send me your mailing address by private email.

Having read a few more of the replies to your original message, I tend 
to agree with Jeff Garrison that you really ought to try to initialize 
these drives in the Macintosh in which you intend to use them, the 
IIsi. That would mean you would need to be able to boot the IIsi either 
with a startup diskette like a Disk Tools which has the software to 
allow you to format the drive, or a CD-ROM drive (sounds from Jeff's 
message as if he is talking about removing the INTERNAL CD-ROM from 
your PPC 6100 and transferring it temporarily to your IIsi, but this 
could also be accomplished with an external CD-ROM drive as long as it 
has Apple ROM's in it.) if you have a bootable CD with the appropriate 
software, OR from some other External hard drive that has appropriate 
startup and formatting software.

Furthermore, in my experience with installing third party hard drives 
inside older Macintoshes, it is often the case that they are not 
compatible with Apple's drive setup or initialization software and I 
have had to use a third party utility like SilverLining in order to 
initialize the drive.

I still get the impression that at least one of these two drives is not 
properly SCSI terminated. In my experience, this problem can be masked 
by putting a terminator directly onto the external SCSI port, or if you 
are running an external SCSI device off that port which IS properly 
terminated the internal becomes mountable until such time as you remove 
that external SCSI device for some reason.

Good luck!!

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.

Good luck!!

In my experience this is not something you are going to be able to

In my opinion, it is not related to missing or deleted software. It is 
more likely a result of age (wear and tear) on the diskette drive.

One thing that I have seen happen over time is that the diskette drive 
continues to work fine but only for diskettes which are formatted by 
that one diskette drive. So you can save files off your Mac to 
diskettes and load them back later from the diskettes fine, but if you 
try to use a diskette that was formatted on another machine, you may 
get the error you have been seeing where it can't read the diskette and 
asks you if you want to format it. I think this just means that there's 
a problem with the alignment of the read/write head on the diskette 
drive. You could try using a diskette drive cleaner but in most cases 
this kind of fault indicates it is time to replace the diskette drive.

I have always been able to find replacement diskette drives on ebay for 
not too much money, although with the age of your IIci you might find 
you have to spend as much on the diskette drive as you paid for the 
whole computer!!

Good luck!

Re: Mac IIsi and LaserWriter Plus

[Jim Foster]

On 27-Apr-04, at 9:57 PM, Ken wrote:
Anyone here know the wiring protocol for connecting a LocalTalk Printer
with the DB9 port to the printer port on a Mac?
Well, I will take a crack at this but I am not sure I fully understand 
the attempts you have already made.

In my case, I have been attaching AppleTalk printers like a LaserWriter 
IIg and later a LaserWriter 8500 to a local Ethernet network which 
consists of several Macintosh computers, a Router, and a Cable Modem. I 
have also at a much earlier stage done the same thing with a simple 
Ethernet hub instead of a Router.

All Ethernet hubs will support the AppleTalk protocol used by AppleTalk 
printers, in addition to the TCP/IP traffic used to handle Internet 
traffic. At the time I was using a hub, my ISP was providing me with 
distinct fixed IP addresses for all my computers. I mention this just 
in case anyone was scratching their head wondering how I was getting 
internet to all my Macs through a hub rather than a Router.

Anyway, one thing you need to look out for when you buy a Router is 
that it will support AppleTalk protocol in addition to TCP/IP traffic. 
This is not generally something that you will find stated on the 
product carton, so you need to check this out ahead of time either on 
the Router manufacturer's web site or by relying upon the retail sales 
folk. I know that Linksys Routers support AppleTalk and I think I have 
had experience with Asante Routers which do the same thing.

Now, both the Hub and the Routers that I have used have incorporated 
today's pretty standard RJ-45 ports. That's the connector which looks 
like a telephone connector on steroids. I am not familiar with the 
specific products you mentioned so I don't know if those devices use an 
RJ-45 type of Ethernet connector or some other sort like an AAUI or the 
circular one whose name I forget.

So, the next challenge becomes how to attach the Mac and the 
LaserWriter to an Ethernet network, given that neither one of them come 
with a built in Ethernet connector. Actually, the LaserWriter IIg does 
have an Ethernet port but I began this with an earlier LaserWriter 
which did not. And certainly many IIsi's that I have come across do not 
have a built in Ethernet port.

For the LaserWriter, you pretty much need to buy one brand or another 
of an AppleTalk to Ethernet adapter, preferably (in my view) one which 
provides an RJ-45 port as the Ethernet connector. Farallon and Assante 
are two firms which make these and I can almost always find examples on 
ebay just by searching using keyword phrase "AppleTalk to Ethernet". 
You need to be sure that the adapter is designed to attach to a 
standard Apple printer or modem port, not one that is designed to go 
betweeen an AAUI Ethernet port and an RJ-45 Ethernet port.

For the IIsi, I think you have a choice of either purchasing a second 
such device or buying an internal Ethernet card that fits in one of the 
motherboard sockets. I'm afraid it has been a while since I have done 
this but if again you went to ebay.com and did a keyword search on 
something as simple as "IIsi" in the Apple Macintosh section, I 
wouldn't be surprised if the result wouldn't include some examples of 
people selling Ethernet cards that would fit this application. Again, 
be sure that the Ethernet port it presents at the back of the computer 
is of the RJ-45 type, not some older type.

After that, it's just a matter of running Ethernet patch cords from 
your IIsi and your LaserWriter to your Router or Hub. You need to be 
sure you are using a plain patch cord, not a cross-over cable, but in 
my experience cross-over cables are clearly labeled as such near the 
connector end, so if a cord lacks any such identification it is usually 
a plain patch cord.

If you are using an internal Ethernet card on the IIsi, you may have to 
install some driver software to support it. I think one factor here is 
what OS version you are running. By that I simply mean that I think 
some later OS's automatically include resources which detect and 
utilize an installed Ethernet card.

Last thought: if by any chance you are attempting to use Ethernet 
cabling to directly attach your LaserWriter to your IIsi, but not 
through a Hub or Router, then you MIGHT have to use a cross-over 
Ethernet cable rather than the plain patch cords I mentioned earlier. I 
am not sure I would recommend trying to connect the two devices this 
way as I don't think you would see much advantage over the standard 
PhoneNet cabling, but mention it just in case you have been trying to 
get the two devices to "talk" to each other over Ethernet before you 
actually incorporate the two of them into perhaps what is your larger 
home network.

As you can see, I may have given rise to as many questions as I have 
provided answers, but I hope this is a start to what you needed to 
know. Good luck!!

Hmmm... As I mentioned earlier, I am not familiar with the two Asante

are not in fact designed to support AppleTalk devices but rather to 
support serial devices like ImageWriters and some of the early 
StyleWriter printers. Seems to me the connector port on those printers 
was not the same as an AppleTalk connector, although it was easy to 
confuse the two because they were both round and contained almost but 
not exactly the same pin configuration.

I realize that you are trying to make do with the equipment you already 
have, but FYI the kind of AppleTalk to Ethernet adapter that I have 
used in the past are like the following current ebay auctions:

3093269287
4126723855
4127398029
The last item contains a particularly good description of how the 
adapter works. If you are not familiar with ebay, just point your 
browser to www.ebay.com and then do a search using one of these auction 
numbers to call up the details.

PS: ebay item 4127263907 is for a slightly different type of adapter, 
an iPrint LS rather than LT. It supports the Apple serial printers 
instead of the AppleTalk printers. The picture also makes it look like 
it does not use an RJ-45 port but rather an older style.

Re: Floppy drive revival

[Jim Foster]

One phenomenon I have seen is where the read/write head seems to get 
slightly out of alignment. This results in a drive which will format, 
read, and write its own diskettes but often rejects diskettes that have 
been formatted and used on other Macs as unreadable. I don't think 
there is any practical way to correct this problem at home.

As for drives which seem to have a hard time ejecting diskettes, they 
sometimes come around by a thorough blowing out of dust but by and 
large my practice when faced with a diskette drive that is not working 
properly has been to replace it with a unit I picked up on eBay. I have 
cultivated at least one relationship with an eBay vendor I trust and I 
find it more practical to just fork over a few bucks knowing he will 
stand behind his stuff than to spend hours trying to repair my own 
units.

Good luck!!

Re: Mac LC 580 need to Delete Printer & Change

[Jim Foster]

On 6-Aug-04, at 7:33 AM, Robert J. Stevens wrote:
How do I go about de-installing Printer as well as other programs that
don't work or that I don't want on My Macs.
Hi,
You didn't mention what version of the Mac operating system you are 
running, so when you say "de-installing Printer" I don't know whether 
you are talking about an icon on your Desktop that you want to get rid 
of (that references the older printer no longer available) or whether 
you are saying that you want to make the old printer no longer 
accessible in the Chooser. Pretty much all versions of the OS that you 
could be using have the Chooser feature but only some create desktop 
printer icons.

I think the simplest answer is to say that you first need to install 
whatever driver software is needed for the printer you DO wish to use. 
That software is generally available from the web site of the printer 
manufacturer, if you do not already have it on disk or CD.

Once you have the new printer software drivers installed, you should be 
able to choose that printer in the Chooser and then print fine. If your 
OS is one which wants to place a desktop printer icon on the Desktop of 
your Mac, you will now find that you can Trash the icon pointing to the 
old printer without the Mac saying that it is just going to replace it 
again.

If you OS does NOT support desktop printer icons and you just want to 
make the old printer no longer show up in the Chooser, you can 
generally do that by looking for the printer driver in the Extensions 
folder inside your System Folder and removing that driver from that 
folder. Restart the Mac and you should no longer see that printer 
available in the Chooser. You could elect to Trash the original 
extension but just moving it to some other location will allow you to 
put it back if you ever need it in future.

Another way to accomplish the same thing is to use the Extensions 
Manager Control Panel, again assuming that the OS version you are using 
includes Extensions Manager, to "turn off" that old printer driver.

When it comes to de-installing applications, that can get a little more 
complicated. Some applications come with "deinstallers". Some can be 
done away with just by deleting (move to Trash and then Empty Trash) 
the basic application file itself, but other application installers 
will put more files than just the application itself on your Mac. If 
you have a lot of applications like that, you may be better off to wipe 
the hard drive clean and start all over again.

Good luck!!

Asante 10Mbps Ethernet PC(PCMCIA) card and PowerBook 190cs

[Jim Raper]

Hello to the list,
A colleague inherited a PowerBook 190cs from another teacher. In the box 
of "stuff" with it, he found an Asante 10Mbps Ethernet PC Card for 
Powerbooks with PCMCIA slots. This was new and unopened. The box also 
said "FriendlyNet" PC Card. He immediately asked me if the card could be 
used to get the Powerbook onto the Internet from his classroom. I 
immediately said, "Probably, but I'm not sure; I'll ask the list."

It does have an RJ-45 cable with a 15-pin connector to connect to the 
10BASE-T card. And a sealed floppy with software. Also instruction 
manual. Looks like a simple setup. Thought I would throw it out to the 
list before I started monkeying. Any warnings or thoughtful advice?

 power supply on the shelf that I wouldn't have to have a lot for.
 
 If you find you need one, contact me off list.
 
 Good Luck

Re: Mac IIci Trouble

[Jim Lunceford]

Dennis:

Look at it this way. When you finally get it up and good
you'll be quite an authority on the IIci and you'll feel
like it's part of the family.

I've got quite a few spare parts for mine on the shelf, If
you can't get the bugs worked out the motherboard or the
L2 cache card is bad, I've got anything you might need. If
you need something, contact me off list you can have it on
the cheap.

[Jim Lee Jr.]

  Folks,
My Mac IIvx manual sayd the hard drive limit is 400MB, 
would I be able to put in a hard drive 1GB or larger under MacOS 7.5.5? I am 
planning on putting in a larger hard drive soon. Any info is appreciated.

It might be that 400MB was the largest drive one could get in the early 90s, 
now that you mention it.

Does anyone know of the availability of Disk Express II 2.0? I accidentally

Black Screen

[Jim Lee Jr.]

I think I did something to the 1.2GB hard drive in the IIvx with the HDSC
hard drive setup program. I get the black screen with the sad Mac icon while
trying to boot off the floppy drive. I yanked out the 1.2GB drive and put in
a 160MB drive and it booted normally from the floppy. Any help is
appreciated.

There are 7 jumpers, 1 to 3 are the SCSI ID settings, 4 is the disable auto
spin-up option, 5 is the disable unit attention option, 6 is the terminator
enable option, and 7 is the disable TI Navigation option. The default jumper
settings are  6(terminator on) and 5 (auto attention disabled).

The hard drive is an IBM DPES 30180 1.2GB. drive.

Don't know what it is. :(

The drive does the same thing in my Performa 550 and LC 475, so I assume it
would not access in the LC II.
