If you're interested in them, they can be found on some of the emulation sites. :) Just note that on anything with a sub 800Mhz CPU they'll be slow. The version of QuickBASIC that came with DOS ran in interpreted mode only. But, the paid version included the option to compile basic programs into .EXE files. I had it years ago. It worked fairly decent, as far as DOS boxes go. The original topic of this thread was Microsoft QuickBASIC (A program for the Macintosh). Microsoft QuickBASIC was written in about 1985 to replace Macintosh BASIC per an agreement between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. Not sure how that agreement allowed Microsoft to dump QuickBASIC so soon after. QuickBASIC runs in either compiled or Interpreted modes. It came with a fairly complete, for Microsoft, 700 page manual. Further research has led me to believe that QuickBASIC will not run on a Mac with over 8 megs of RAM. This is because QuickBASIC was written to use 24 bit memery addressing. Seems like Microsoft or someone else could have recompiled it. Based on these findings I stripped a 6100 down to 8 meg of RAM and tried a QuickBASIC program. It seems to run well and very fast. Next step is to see if the stripped 6100 can replace the Mac Plus and its peripherals. -- - Bob Poland [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check out my garage sale http://www.ibrb.org/ -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Since I've been messing with computers (PCs or macs) these have been called resolution settings. We can probably blame Microsoft for this. I've always accepted the 72 DPI period. But I just got to thinking about it, if thats true then; a 1024 X 768 screen would be 14.22 X 10.66 inches a 640 X 480 would be 8.88 X 6.66 inches Neat trick.

Re: More 030 PowerCache adapter info.
There were clip over CPU upgrades for PCs to bump up from a 386SX to 486 or 486SX to 486DX. Those CPUs are usually surface mounted and the 486SX has more pins around it than the 030 does in its J lead package. (Same type of package can be surface mounted or used in a PLCC socket.) How that worked is the x86 SX CPUs have a float pin that when pulled high (or was it low?) shut the chip down and disconnected it from all the other pins. The float pin was originally intended for use in low power sleep mode for portables. Intel used it on the 486SX so that a 487DX (actually a full 486 with a slightly different pinout) could take over from the soldered on SX CPU. Any idea if any variety of 68000 or other 68k CPU has a float pin? Back in 1993 I had a MicroMac accelerator on a Mac Plus. It used a Killy clip. It clipped on to the 68000 and connected to the accelerator card. So in answer to the question, there must be a way. -- - Bob Poland [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check out my garage sale http://www.ibrb.org/ -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Mac Plus Screen
Just looked in the Book Macintosh Repair Upgrade Secrets by Larry Pina. He uses 14 pages to describe the processes required to do this properly. This after you get the case open. I highly recommend getting this book if you plan on doing much inside you compact Mac. 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. To do a good job of aligning the screen you need to do other diagnostics and adjustment, including power supply voltage adjustment. The square tube CANNOT be rotated. The display rotation is done by rotating the yoke on the picture tube. The yoke may be stuck to the tube and difficult or impossible to move. CAUTIONS: The picture tube may contain several thousands of volts of stored energy. The early Mac Pluses did not drain this voltage and it may remain for several days. The first rule for working around this area is to use only one hand so that the shock will not travel through your body. You do not need to get near the high voltage, JUST BE CAREFUL.

Did 6800's exist btw?

I built a kit computer (SWTP) in the late 70;s that used 6800 and later the 6809. It came out around the time the Apple I was released. When I sold it, it had over 700K of ram. The 6800 family was made by Motorola. We (Engineering Measurements Co.) sold thousands of traffic controllers using them.

Re: External Speakers
My question is will there be enough voltage or whatever to power the speakers, or will I need to rig something else up? Sam, NO, there is not enough power coming out of the computer to power speakers. In fact you could damage the computer by connecting to the stereo jack. You can buy speakers with a built-in amplifier, designed to mate with the stereo jack, for not too much. I have a pair for my iBook that cost $6 new. And I have a three speaker system on my 8100 that cost $20 new. Or you can just use a stereo amp and your old speakers.

Re: 800K to 1.44MB?
The StarDrive only takes power from the floppy; if I were so inclined, it would be a trivial matter to wire up a wall wart or small power supply for it instead. 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. Knowing that, it would seem that you could make a daisy chain cable with IDC connectors and flat cable. Only problem - if I remember right the port in question is 19 pins. 19 pin connectors are VERY hard to find. I stripped an old serial (ThunderWorks) scanner to get a connector for the Mac II. -- - Bob Poland [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check out my garage sale http://www.ibrb.org/ -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
