These files explain how to make the row of function keys on your 
PowerBook (anything beyond the 100 series, unless I hear otherwise)
serve as PageUp, PageDown, Home, End, and Forward Delete.

You'll wonder how you ever did without them!

This version includes instructions which work with System 8.

From: macbrick@knoware.nl
Subject: Après Fax 2.0

Suppose you have a Fax-modem and you want to receive a fax late at
night or during your absence. Up to now the only way to do this was to
keep your Mac running at all times. No longer.

PreFax is a piece of hardware that enables soft power on/off Macs to
be turned on when the attached modem receives a telephone call (or fax
call). The Après Fax control panel shuts down the Mac after a
designated period of time if the Mac was brought to life by the modem.
Together PreFax and Après Fax can be used as an unattended fax
receiving machine.

New in version 2.0
Après Fax can now tell an extension manager (not included) to only
load the extensions necessary to receive faxes. PreFax 2.0 fixes a
problem on newer Macs. Newer Macs, and those running system 7.5.1 and
up, can be shut down by pressing the power key on the keyboard. This
had an annoying side effect with the original Prefax hardware. This
version contains a fix.

Subject: AT&T DataPort 14.4K Report 

The AT&T DataPort 14.4K modem has generated a lot of interest on the
newsgroup comp.dcom.modems. An external model of this modem with Class 1
fax capability (including cable and QuickLink II fax software, yech!) is
being advertised in MacWeek (3-08-93) for $299. The offer is only good
through April 30, 1993. If you qualify under the Sysop program, your price
drops to $222. In response to the question recently posted to info-mac, I
sent one reply but thought that it would make more sense to summarize the
postings on comp.dcom.modems and prepare a report on this modem.

Subject: [*] Centris Ethernet Report 

Dear All,

A week ago I sent out a request for information about the built-in ethernet
connection in a Centris 650 (as in our College Microstore didn't want me to
use it). I enclose the responses I received for filing as a report.

The consensus is that the inbuilt connector is the thing to use, with the
caveat that Apple's self-terminating transponders may cause problems. One
respondent seems to have had very bad problems with Quadra 700s, cause
unknown.

Many thanks to all those who replied.

Subject: [*] PowerCache performance in LC 

Dear Moderators:

I think the following report on the DayStar PowerCache performance in LC's would 
be a useful addition to the info-mac/reports directory.

The following explanation of how the PowerCache minimizes the effect of the LC's 
16-bit data path was written by Steve Tuttle, the Online Resources Mgr for 
DayStar Digital. I will submit an expanded report to the info-mac archives 
as soon as Steve forwards the results of the benchmark tests on the unenhanced 
LC and IIci, but the results as presented give a good indication of the 
performance difference between a PowerCache-enhanced LC and IIci.

"Altho it would appear intuitive that due to the 16 bit path on the LC you are
going to be forced to run slower, it is not necessarily the case. You see, all
Macs have some sort of delays inherent in their design: The II,IIx,IIcx, &
SE/30 all have 120ns RAM and require 2 wait states to be added to the memory

to pre-PlainTalk Macintoshes' sound-in port (in order to input sound from a
CD player or other source). It is very detailed, and it contains diagrams
which you can use to create your own adapter. This is necessary for all but
the most recent Macs, as "the current generation of 'PlainTalk' mic inputs
uses a totally different -- and much easier to deal with -- input scheme."

Below is a document which shows the correct pin connections necessary to
construct a cable to connect HP48 calculators to Macs.  It is much cheaper
to make your own than to pay the $30+ that they go for retail.  Once you
have the wire you can download software to the HP48 with any kermit program.
There is much software for the HP48 available at seq.uncwil.edu, and
hpcvbbs.cv.hp.com.  These include math programs, utilities, games, universal
remote programs, etc.

Report on poll of users who have upgraded their IIsi clock oscillators for
higher speed. Suggest placement in reports folder.

------------------------------
This poll was conducted to help users decide whether or not to alter their
IIsi clock oscillator. I have attempted to gather as many case histories as
possible to find some estimate of success and risk. The number of replies
probably shows how rare this modification is but give the impression that
success rates may be higher than the previous 80% estimate. 25 of 25
machines were able to run at 25 mhz when no add on boards were present.
This is not a scientific survey but it is the best we have to work with.

Thanks to all who contributed to this poll.

floods your screen with red, green, blue, white and black; to make the
culprit stuck pixel (or subpixel) show its ugly head. This is so you can
show your Apple Dealer that there is a problem with your screen and that
it needs to be replaced (I think you need five pixels to be stuck for
the replacement, but don’t take that number to heart). This will only be
useful for people with active matrix screens…

  Can anyone shed light on why a Mac would always reset its date to 8/27/56

  The 1956 date is popping up on two separate Macs.  Both check out as clean

Subject: Mac memory configurations 

There have been a number of questions and comments in the digest lately 
about memory for the various Mac models - what size SIMMs to use, what 
combinations of SIMMs are allowed, etc.  Here is a chart produced and 
published by Apple on AppleLink.  The chart lists all the Mac models,
except those older than the Mac Plus.  The Quadra 950 also is not listed,
but its memory specs are the same as the 900.

For each Mac model the chart lists how much RAM is soldered on the
board, how many SIMM slots it has, which SIMM sizes work in that model,
all the possible RAM configurations, and the required SIMM speed.  I
have found this chart to be very useful, and in conjunction with the
Macintosh Memory Guide published by Connectix, all my Mac memory questions
have been answered.

The file is a binhexed, self-extracting Compact Pro archive of a MicroSoft
Word 4.0 file.  I apologize for the non-generic format, but the chart
contains several special symbols that are not in the standard ASCII set,
so they didn't translate when I tried to make a text file out of it.
(If someone know how to do this, I would like to know.)

This chart is copyrighted by Apple and was published on AppleLink.  I
got permission from them to publish it here, with the stipulation that
the copyright remain on the file and that the chart not be used in any
"for sale" products.  Obviously I can't insure that this will happen, but
you have been informed.  Please don't abuse this policy.

slots, when in actuality the unit has eight. Secondly, our chart indicates
that a 7200/90 with 8MB of RAM and a 1000MB hard disk retails for $3,599

A few months back I posted a narrative describing a situation in which a 
Mac graphics and marketing department was under siege from an Information 
Services (IS) department insistent on forcing a switch to PeeCee's.  Many 
thanks to a considerable number of Info-Mac readers who were kind enough 
to respond.

The enclosed archive, Mac_vs_IBM_Summary.sit.hqx, summarizes this saga, 
and includes an ASCII text version of the polished PageMaker report - 
Final Arguments.txt - that was developed to counter the arguments of the 
IS department.  Overall - despite *heavy* and somewhat underhanded 
opposition and surreptitious maneuvering by IS - the effort was a success,
as most of the hardware items in the proposal, below (including a PowerMac
9500!), were ultimately approved for purchase.

Subject: [*] mac-monitor-config.hqx (Macintosh Monitor and Video Matrix) 

This is a Macintosh monitor and video matrix chart. The information given
was taken from a document supplied by Apple Computer Inc. to our local
users group. It is very detailed and is extremely handy to have around. It
lists the various Macintosh models and video configurations and what bit
depth/number of grays or colors possible for each Mac model and each
Monitor. It also lists dot pitch, resolution, power specs, refresh rate and
other tech goodies, including the part number.

Enjoy! MacWrite II document compress with Compact Pro. There is a lot of
info so it has to be printed out in landscape orientation on US Legal size
paper. It must be printed in a nonproportionally spaced font to be
readable. The document is currently formatted for 8pt Monoco.

You should have been there.  They brought an 840av 8/230 CD, and a Newton
Message Pad!!!  The voice rec. is ok, still needs work.  You can do
finder commands ok, others will have to be scripted....aka trained.
There were 6 different personalities, or voices that are included with
the system.  DSP for audio is like the DSP one would hear in a home
stereo, real nice.  The video inputs work well, and the capure is better
than a Spigot.  There is a full s/w package that comes with it...fax,
video capture, and the rest....same that was listed in MacWeek.  I have
uploaded the test results that Speedometer saved in the test files.  It
is a real nice neat package on the inside too!  The award winning design
of Apple products is taken to another level.  There is little space left
except for three nubus 90 cards, a couple of internal HD's, and a CD if
needed.  Apple is now using a 8 meg. chips, leaving the other 3 slots
open.  There is oe thing that I found quite strange.  There is an
interrupt button, but no restart.  So if it locks up, and the interrupt
won't work, you will have to unplug it.  Just thought that you would want
to know!!  IF u don't get the HQX file, look in sumex for it!  Sorry if I
pissed anybody off.

Subject: Macintosh Video Matrix

Enclosed is a complete matrix of Macintoshes and Displays (both past and
present and near future) and what color depth is available in differing
configurations. 

This grew out of the need for such a reference in the Computer Resource
Center at Dartmouth College (the pre-sales demo area). We found Apple's
matrix from AppleLink to be both hard to read and also quite wrong (we just
tested various configurations against the May version of Apple's Matrix and
found the Apple Matrix sadly wrong in *many* places.)

We believe this chart to be error free, but reality being what it is we do
encourage anyone to contact us if you do find a mistake. 

Comments, suggestions, errors, and more can be sent to AndyJW@dartmouth.edu.

The chart used Helvetica and AppleGaramond. (The latter only in the credit
line at the bottom so if you do not have this font, nothing should be really
affected).

Hope this helps!

I got my NEC SuperScript Color 3000M printer and have had a day to play with
it; here's the report--

<you may want to archive the following--it may be a bit long for inclusion in
the digest>

It comes with abbreviated sample dye and wax ribbons instead of the full
sized ribbons that one would buy as stock supplies for the printer.  This
makes sense when you figure that the purchaser will want to see what kind of
output the machine is capable of before committing to it, but it needs to be
taken into account when purchases are made, i.e., you will VERY shortly have
to buy extra ribbons if you intend on doing much printing.  The demo ribbons
are good for (according to the manual) 10 prints each, whereas regular
ribbons are good for 25 sheets (dye-sub) or 107 sheets (thermal-wax); you get
a dye-sub ribbon, a thermal-wax variable-dot ribbon, and a plain-jane
thermal-wax ribbon.  You also get two (not three, but also not just one)
ribbon carrier, which makes it easy to swap ribbons (the printer only holds

I sure do. I went through this same loop last summer with my own SE/30 with

Dear net,

on my query about a weird PowerBook 170 problem, where the screen image
would start dancing around every so often and stop when I gave the machine
a good shake, I got two long answers. Since they are instructive on how to
open an PowerBook without "screwing" something to pieces, I am attaching
them as a report. As it turned out, the problem was the display cable
connector in the screen unit having come loose due to vibrations. Opening
up the screen (by taking out the two screws that have rubber pads over
them) and pushing the connector back in remedied the problem. Thanks to
Keith Owens and Steven Taylor for answering!

Subject: Powerbook Solutions Guide2 (Word format) 

The attached file is a Microsoft Word version of Apple's "PowerBook
Solutions Guide"--previously uploaded in AppleLink image format by Thomas
Fruin  <thomas@heraldo.apple.cl>.  As Thomas pointed out, you need AppleLink
to read the AppleLink version.  As a reminder, here's what it contains:

> Here is an extensive listing (69 pages) of PowerBook related hardware
> and software products. It's called the PowerBook Solutions Guide, and was
> compiled by Apple. It will probably answer several of some recently posted
> PowerBook questions, such as the one about 9600 bps internal modems.

Administrivia:  I ported the AppleLink image file into Word--a process that
preserved text but no formatting.  (The original is a multicolumn document
with headers, footers, reverse video, big square blocks of black, and mostly
Times as its font.)  In fact, the process didn't even preserve soft returns
inside paragraphs.  But the text is there, including hard page breaks so
the table of contents and index will work (the 1st four pages are treated
as introductory, so you don't get to "Page 1" of the Guide until page 5).
(Stick with me on this, this *will* be on the quiz.)  You might want to
change the font size to something small, to stop any soft page returns from
messing up the page numbers.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
 This is my first posting so it may go a bit wonky!!!
 Anyway I have tried to post a comprehensive list of 6100, and 8100
records. 6100 with and without 256k cache, also with various levels of
KSLabs Alacrity acceleration. (CPU clock accelerator). I hope they are what
is wanted.. If this the file disappears mail me and I will send it to you.

This report describes an informal PowerPC cache study that shows an
approach for measuring cache effects. It was done informally to get 
a rough idea of how much cache contributes to system performance and to 
see the cache performance knees. The whole effort was a team effort by
four netters who from concept to execution, never met, except on the net.

It turns out that the solution for us is to use our existing
GatorBox, and let the GatorBox route to the printer.  I can't
tell if it's slower.  We won't be re-wiring, so if the GatorBox
does go out, we can always go back to switching the interface.

--========================_13662222==_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hi everyone,

Apple's ROM crew has done it again: I own a Centris 650. The other day, I
powered up my Mac, and decided that I should immediatley turn off my Mac so
the DAT drive could power up first. Instead of just turning the power off,
I hit the interrupt button. I heard this interesting =-D tune come from my
Mac. I'm not sure, but I think it's a hidden ROM thing that patches the
interrupt key. In the past, I've heard that Quadra 840av's exhibit a wierd
quality like this too when the power key is held down... except it drops
you into a monitor type thing instead of a tune. Here are steps to reprodue
this:

1) Hit the Power Key on the keyboard. (I dont think it matters, as long as
your Mac is _off_ initially. It would be cool if someone or I could figure
out a way to make it do this on every restart. :-)
2) Listen for the "Bzzzzzzzzt" of the power supply getting power.
3) While listening, within 2 seconds of turning it on, hit the interrupt key.
4) Enjoy the short tune it plays.

I checked; pressing some keys on the keyboard does not make the Mac act
like a MIDI keyboard based on which key was pressed. :-( For the rest of
you who might not have a chance to hear the tune, I tape recorded and then
digitized what the C650 plays. 22KHz so that you can analyze it if you
like--sorry about the background noise. In the C650 ROM also is a "Brass
Horn" beep. It sounds like a little horn that squeaks on a kid's bike. I
wont include that, probably because of pattent/copyright violations. :-)
(Hint: Use ROMmie to get your Mac's ROM resource and look for sounds using
ResEdit. I believe it's on info-mac in /dev.)

One thing I would like to pose is this: could something, even more special,
happen if the music's note-representation were typed in? =-D

Questions, comments, anything else? Email me.

Enjoy!

           A review of the Macintosh Quadra 630

  In August of 1994 Apple Computer Inc. released a new line of their 
popular Macintosh computer. The models introduced are the Quadra 630, 
LC630, Performa 630, Performa 630CD, Performa 635, Performa 636, and 
the Performa 636CD. All the models are similar, such as case design, 
hard drive capacity, and ports, but there are some differences. The 
Quadra 630 is the only model to have a full MC68040 with the floating 
Point Unit(FPU) for math intensive tasks and is geared towards 
businesses. The LC is for the educational market and the Performa 
models are for the consumer channels and come in many different 
configurations. This review will focus on the Quadra 630, but should 
also apply in part to the LC and Performa models.

a) you can go quadra 700 only if you possess a IIcx, that will give you speeds 
greater than those offered by the Rocket, but not so much greater that it

 only "allow" Macintosh computers, but they should also consider how to

In a previous post, I asked for advice concerning ink economy when printing
text with Grayscale or Black&White on a StyleWriter II, because I had been
somewhat confused by apparently contradictory advice in the SW manual and
ReadMe.

I had a good response, but some of the replies did show that I wasn't the
only one to be confused.

First of all, thanks to all of you who responded. (You know who you are.)
I now understand the mechanics of printing better than I did.

Some of you were interested in a summary, so I am including 2 of the
replies below, since these seem to resolve the question I raised:

What you need:

1. A StyleWriter cartridge which is empty/dry.

2. A syringe which can be filled to 20 cc (ml) (not too large). You can use it
several times if you rinse it well after use with alcohol.  You may be able to

Subject: sun.monitor.to.mac.sit.hqx 

  This file provides a detailed description of how to hook a Sun Microsystems
color monitor to a macintosh. It involves making a cable and tuning several
variable resistors inside the monitor, to make the Sun monitor behave like
an Apple 21" RGB.

  Please note that this is NOT a Sun product. I did this on my own because I 
wanted a large screen monitor on my Quadra, and I could get one through Sun 
cheap. Do not call Sun and ask them about this procedure, they will not
know what you are talking about.
  
  The file is an MS Word 5.1 document, stuffed with Stuffit in 1.5.1 format.
I believe it should go in the report directory. Please feel free to put it
on a CD-ROM compilation of the info-mac archive.

Howdy,

Attached is a HyperCard stack about solar panels for PowerBooks and Newtons
from KISS. They sent me this information upon request. These are commercial
products, and I have not tried them yet. I am just passing the information
along in response to solar power for Macs questions that surface
periodically.

From: "M. David Greenspon" <GREMICF@YaleVM.CIS.Yale.edu>
Subject: [*] the MACS 1.0b6
Date: Mon, 31 Jan 94 23:00:17 EST
Organization: Yale University

the MACS is a freeware application which displays a large number of specs for
all Macs that have ever been released.  Search capability is included.  For a
more thorough description, see the help included in the application.

the MACS supports all Macs from the Plus up and all Systems from 4.1 up.

The most noticeable change in this version is the addition of a Mac Type
Picker.  Users who don't like hierarchical menus will probably prefer the
Picker.

Last October Apple introduced no fewer than *sixteen* new Mac models!  That's
more models than they introduced in Macintosh's first 7 1/2 years (unless you
count the 512K and SE FDHD as separate models).  In 1.0b5 I added the new non-
Performa Macs.   This version has the new Performas:  410, 460, 466, 467, 475,
476, 550.  (Actually, five of these just give you an alert saying what other
model they're equivalent to.)

The other changes in version 1.0b6 are:
-Added "Inactive window clicks" and "Polite Mac Type Picker" prefs.  These
 give you control over certain aspects of the user interface.  See
 "Preferences" in the Help dialog.  The Prefs file also records the position
 of the Mac Type Picker and whether or not it is visible.
-Collapsed the "Original" and "Classic" Mac Type menus into one:  "Compact"
-Changed the command key for "Which Macs Have..." from cmd-E to cmd-F
-Made the "About..." box nicer (especially when running in color)
-Minor changes, spec additions/corrections, bug fixes

Thanks to the many people who have sent me corrections and suggestions!

This is still a beta version of the MACS.  I don't have all the specs yet;
some info is quite difficult to find.  I would really like for people to send
me bug reports, corrections, specs I don't have, and suggestions.

This is a simple circuit which can be used as a wireless mouse with
WACOM's ART/Z digitizer boards. No batteries are required and total parts
should be less than $20. I use mine instead of a regular mouse and no
longer need worry about moving mouse pads and digitizer. I simply grab the
pointing device which is appropriate and run it on the WACOM.

Recommend submission to the tech category.

Subject: Mac won't boot from second disk. Why?

Here is the summary of the answers I got for the question I asked on
December 18th in Info-Mac Volume 13 Issue 176:

|I have just added a second internal disk drive in my Macintosh, and would
|like to make it the boot disk while keeping the old disk still bootable in
|case of problems. Infortunately, whatever I do, the Mac insists to boot
|from the old disk.
|- Why? What can I do?

The short answer:
=================

What worked for my purpose was to exchange the SCSI ids of the disks,
putting the new disk at target 0, and the old target 0 disk at target 1.
Now I can use Startup Disk to choose whichever of these two disks as boot
disk, and at the next restart the mac boots from the chosen disk.  The
reason it works has to do with the fact that the Mac tries longer to boot

This is the second (and hopefully the last!) revision of my comparison of the
Zip and EZ drives. I corrected a very confusing typo (thanks to Dan Hoefferth
for pointing it out) and I removed the rumour about Zips causing problems with
internal CD-ROM drives. (I've had many messages from people working with such
configurations telling me they had encountered no problems whatsoever.)


Zip vs. EZ-135: A Comparison
============================

version 1.1

This is a comparison of two low-capacity low-cost mass storage devices,
Iomega's Zip drive and SyQuest's EZ-135 drive. The comparison is based on
opionions of users of both drives sent to me by e-mail, and also on some
information pulled from www pages. It was compiled by Florin Neumann
<florin@quartz.geology.utoronto.ca>.
