Re: Newbie: How to type an at on ADB keyboard?
In-Hae Felton asked: How do I get an @ on my SE 1/40 with ADB Keyboard? I've spent more than 20 Minutes on the web, but google did not turn up any results. got different replies: Stefan Daehler: Option (ALT) + G. Timothy Virkkala: @ = shift-2 and finally answered the question himself: Surprisingly the tips did not work, so I tried it again this morning. ...and after a lot (!) of try-and-error only came up with Shift-Option-1 for the @ sign. (?) Now *I'm* surprised. On all of my Macs it's option-* (asterisk). Did Apple then assign different key combinations for it on each keyboard (US, German, or, as mine, Swedish)? Then I understand why they made it option-2 on the new off-topic machines. I thought that was just another concession to WinDOS, but it seems that it really needed a fixed position for ALL keyboard layouts. /Mikael -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Apple ColorOne scanner
John Niven [EMAIL PROTECTED] asked: I suppose I need an application that actually runs the scanner? I assume that some s/w came with the scanner anybody know what it shipped with? I got my Apple OneScanner (not colour) with Ofoto. Info and download from http://pages.britishlibrary.net/linusrees/mac/soft.html Works fine, except that on very fast Macs (G3+) it may time out while the scanner is still preparing to send data. Perfekt for older Macs, though. It is said to work with the Color One Scanner as well. I also want to take this opportunity to thank all those who have explained how 68-pin drives can be used in vintage systems. /Mikael -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

68-pin SCSI to 50/25 pin
Fellow Mac users, Does anyone have any advice on the subject of using newer, 68-pin SCSI disks in (or with) older Macs having 50-pin internal and 25-pin external SCSI connectors? Can they be used at least in some limited way with a suitable cable or cabinet, or do they require a SCSI-3/Wide/Fast card or a modern, off-topic Mac? Logically large, physically small SCSI-2 drives are hard to find, and I happen to own a couple of fine 68-pin SCSI disks that I'd like to use. /Mikael -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: ScanMan???
jsoderlund [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Can anyone tell me what a ScanMan is and what it is for? J.S. Garrison [EMAIL PROTECTED]: it's a hand-held, black and white scanner. It comes with two components; the scanner and a connector/decoder box. It requires software to work, and it takes a steady hand to make even a crummy image appear. Having owned one, it's not worth the time and effort. But on the other hand you can produce very interesting, distorted images by deliberately twisting and turning the hand-held scanner as you move it across the original. The ScanMan wouldn't be my first choice for serious work, but I'd sure like to have one just for fun. My experience with the ScanMan is limited to once installing and configuring a PC version of the package for former employer. That, I believe, did not have a connector/decoder box but rather an ISA card that the handheld part was connected to. /Mikael -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: dead iisi
On Thursday 03 July 2003 21.30, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Argh! I was unplugging my IIsi (...) When I replaced the cables on the IIsi, I get no response from either the back panel power button nor the keyboard power. No response at all, no whirs, clicks, bings, whistles, nada. So, my suspicion is a fried powersupply. I don't really want to mess with the powersupply's internal parts, cause I've heard how dangerous they are, and I really wouldn't have the first clue as to how to fix it. Come on, live dangerously. No, but to be serious, the most dangerous part could be to get the PS opened. Some of the IIsi power supplies are riveted shut. I had to drill through and tear out the rivets before I got a look at the innards. In my case it was the internal fuse that had blown. To replace this is of course totally safe, as long as you don't keep the PS plugged in while you're working. Those IIsi power supplies weren't the most robust ones Apple used, I've seen several of them expire, even if they weren't as rotten as the 630/6200/6300 ones that predictably fail in a singular fashion. Not that it helped me any to replace the fuse, it just blew anew. I tried replacing it with successively more resistant fuses (usually a bad idea, but I had no spare PS at the time and wanted to get at least a few more hours of use from the computer). Finally the PS, or rather a major capacitor in it, exploded with a bang and a cloud of foul-smelling smoke. Not recommended, at least not if you have a wife who easily gets upset about nocturnal explosions in the house. But do take a look inside. Since it failed when you were removing and replacing cables and pressing buttons I suspect a mechanical rather than an electronic problem. Otherwise I'd say it's a coincidence, because starting and shutting down the computer without monitor or keyboard attached should do nothing to the power supply. My apologies if the formatting of this message is bad.

Test, don't bother
My previous letter, the first sent from my Linux box, came through looking really weird in digest form. Seems like I got linefeeds included somehow. Hasn't happened on other lists I've mailed to. Hopefully it is a temporary glitch, but otherwise I have to fix it somehow. Hence this test. My apologies. /Mikael Jolkkonen -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
