If the problem is the fact that there was another disk in that drive prior to
the copy, you should Eject(vRefnum), UnMountVol(vRefnum) to tell the OS to
forget that disk completely, then handle the Disk Insert Event for the target
disk (MountVol(drvnum)), do your copy, then Eject, Unmountvol the copy. Maybe
this will help!

That's not exactly the problem. It's the Eject itself that causes
sector two to be updated (written with old data). In fact I've
discovered that just mounting an HFS disk also causes sector two to be
written (with the volume write count field bumped by one). I think
I've got it solved by effectively nop'ing the _Write trap until I
<really> want to do a write. That stops the unwanted updates which
occur on Mount and Unmount.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks to Steve Brecher's suggestion, I don't have to 'jigger' the _Write trap.
To my mind, that's a relief just for reasons you suggest. BTW, Disk Dup+ in the
database must have had the same problems I had 'cause he also plays with the
_Write trap. I don't know if he uses IAZNotify, though.

Subject: PhoneNet/LaserWriter+ problems
Date: 25-OCT 16:35 Hardware & Peripherals
We recently installed PhoneNET in our offices. I have had trouble getting the
thing up and running smoothly (I am responsible for it) and am appealing to you
all for some help.
The problem is this: We can not get out LaserWriter Plus to come on to
the network with out causing problems. I notice that when I connect a
Mac to the net using the control pannel, the connection is rapid when
the LW is offline and very slow when it is on. Since the main reason
for the net is to print, we must have the LW on the network. I have
tried printing to the LW with a single Mac connected to it, and that
usually works (although it is still a little flaky sometimes). But
when I connect in the rest of the PhoneNet printing stops and the
status window in MacWrite just shows "status: preparing data" As soon
as I disconnect the other line to the LW (i.e. only on Mac is
connected to it) the printing continues. I have tried various ways of
connecting the LW on the net but without success. I bought MazeWars+
(to test the network, of course) and that works fine when the LW is
not on the net, but slows way down as soon as the LW is included. This
tells me that the network and the connectors are OK. SO what is the
deal with the printer? Is there someting special to get it to work OK?
And yes, I am using system 3.2 on all of the Macs, and have tried LW driver 3.1
and 3.1.1b. Help!! And THANKS! Our shop technician, who ran all of the wires,
and is very pro-IBM-clones is getting ready to pounce!!! -Doug (MADMACS)

I wonder if it's a problem with the L.W. itself. Can you substitute AppleTalk
cabling for the PhoneNet cabling just for a test? Maybe you could get the

Thank you all for your suggestions. And yes, we did call Farallon and
they suggested that it is a problem with termination of the lines.
This was the case, apparently. They suggested one way of terminating
the lines and our technician said that it should be done another way.
(Sorry, but he did not tell me the details, I can find out if you are
interested.) Basically, if you leave the ends of long runs
un-terminated you get bad reflections that confuse the network. The
solution is to put a 120 Ohm resistor across the yellow and black
(PhoneNet) wires at the ends of the long runs. (This is and impedance
match that makes it appear as if the wire is infinitely long.) So once
this was done everything was working perfectly (my faith restored).
The technician, howver, is still stubborn (won't those IBM'ers ever
concede that the Mac can do anything well). When I pointed out that
or about $34 a node and the cost of phone wire, we had set up a local
area network that servers three floors and (presently) thirteen Macs,
he was not phased. I don't know much about the "token ring" and such,
but we didn't have to buy a thing extra, besides the connectors and
the wire. No boards or rewiring. And each member of the network
assigns itself a unique ID when it joins-- besides the reflection
problem it was basically hassle free. Now I can print anything that
(most) any Mac program can generate--at 300dpi and nearly WYSIWYG. Oh
well, you can't teach old dogs new tricks. Thanks again for your help,

Subject: Computers and Medical Charts
Date: 26-OCT 16:26 Business Mac
The most amazing thing happened at the hospital yesterday. I was accused of
unethical behavior because I used my computer to prepare a conference for the
Department of Surgery!
Let me explain.... I am the Clinical Coordinator of the Department of
Surgery at a rural community hospital. This is a voluntary job, in
addition to my regular practice of surgery. My responsibilities
include the preparing of the mortality and morbidity conferences each
month, as well as trying to put together educational topics of
interest for the other surgeons. Having trained at a University
Hospital in Philadelphia, I enjoy doing this teaching.
In order to prepare for one of these conferences, I took my Tandy 100 to the
record room, and took my notes on it. When I got to the office, I plugged the
Imagewriter cable into the RS-232 connector on the back of the Tandy, and using
Smartcom II, loaded the information into the Mac for work processing, spread
sheeting, and graph creation.
Now, I am being accused of taking confidential information out of the
hospital in the form of patient records and doctors names! All I had
on the computer were my notes. The paranoid medical staff is afraid
that having this information in my "COMPUTER" is dangerous, in some
way. Since I consider my two computers just extensions of other work
tools that I use, I can't understand this. Would they be just as
paranoid if I used a legal pad to make notes instead of the computer?
By the way, the bylaws of the hospital allow for the use of records
for research, and I had permission from the President of the Medical
Staff to do the study in question.
Pretty amazing paranoia, huh? Do people really still fear computers this way?
Any physicians out there have similar experiences? Any legal advice?

It might have something to do with Legislators, who tend to know even

downloading from the company mainframe.

Yes, it's paranoid behavior, but no, it's not amazing, I'm afraid. In my
institution (UCLA Dept. of Radiological Sciences) most of the data used for
teaching and research is in "machine readable" form at one time or another.
Clearly there is a valid issue related to the removal of confidential patient
records from the hospital (I don't know what the regulations are there) but
these would apply equally to data whether in handwritten, printed or machine
readable form.
You didn't say exactly who is objecting to your work and on what
grounds, but it sounds like they don't have a very good idea of what
you're using the computers for. I can't give you legal advice though.

Subject: News from the Meadow
Date: 27-OCT 06:03 MUGS Online
In the Friday, October 10, 1986 edition of The Cincinnati Enquirer,
Lise Olson of the Gannett News Service described the activities of a
Livonia Michigan computist who illegally reproduced several of Berke
Breathed's "Bloom County" cartoons, featuring the consumate hacker
Oliver Wendell Jones, in an underground newsletter named
Telecomputist. The Washington Post Writer's Group, which owns the
strip's copyright, asked the Telecomputist to "cease reproduction of
'Bloom County' comic strips or images of 'Bloom County' characters."
Andrew S. Rosen, counsel for the Washington syndicate, "decided not to
seek the death penalty in this situation" but said that the
reproduction was a "serious matter."
Jones and his "Banana 6000" personal computer are popular symbols
among Apple Macintosh enthusiasts. According to Al Leeds, sales
manager of the Washington group, small publications can legally
reprint the strip for as little as $6.50 a week. In addition to
flouting the copyright laws, Telecomputist published such information
as Secret Service radio frequencies and classified goverment phone
listings - the kind of thing that gives hackers a bad name. Breathed
is sympathetic to hackers but not to rip-off artists. He warned: "If
we catch you, we're goin to nail your toes to the wall and hang you
upside down, pull out your
tongue and dip it into a nest of red ants.
Let this be a warning."

The same thing has happened to me. However, it had creamed the

causing all sorts of weird crashes at non-sequitor locations. (It had
creamed the argument popping cleanup of the stack). My only resort was
to replace MacTraps from a master. I have never been able to reproduce

Just a thought -- check the total amount of Initialized data that you
have. From memory, I don't think it allows more than 31.?k. Also check
your segment sizes. The Loadseg patch is for the CREL stuff -- it
relocates certain things within CODE segs as they are brought in. Also
check that 'ResLoad' is NOT False at a call to another Segment.

MS is heralding some great vaporware although the final product, which
is said to be able to be read directly by IBM and Macintosh versions
of Word, looks hot.
Style pages, better headers, and more make it seem to still be the
only choice (or at least it will be the only choice) in WPs for the

If you want to read the Lisa programs for Macintosh consumption, I'm presuming
the programs are Pascal and that you have the Lisa Pascal Workshop running on
the Lisa.
If you have one of the Unix systems, or the Lisa Office System only,
think about running terminal programs with the Mac ImageWrite cable on
the serial ports.
With the Lisa Pascal Workshop, you can read/write Macintosh-format diskettes
with the Maccom utility. This is available through the Software Supplement to
the Pascal Workshop, not on the original Workshop 3.0 disks.
There's also a Transfer utility in the Workshop which can work as a basic
terminal program on the Lisa side for transferring files to the Macintosh.
Finally, MacWorks lets the Lisa run Macintosh software, but removes its ability
to run or read Lisa programs.
Have fun with it..I sure do.

Subject: Weird font problem
Date: 28-OCT 07:40 Business Mac
What is happening here? I am trying to capture some Vax screen images. I have
Mac Terminal, Draw, and Word in Switcher on a Mac+ and a DataFrame 20. I am
representing the screens in 10 point Courier. I get the screen with Terminal,
select the text, Copy it, switch to Draw, and Paste it.
Now, here's the fun part: The text I paste arrives in Draw in 10 pt Courier,
as that is the default font I've set up. However, the size of the characters
(horizontally) is not the same as the size of 10 pt Courier just typed into
Draw, or pasted from Word. The text copied from Terminal is shorter than the
same characters from the other sources. But it is all the same font and
pointsize, supposedly. The discrepancy is small--about 31 characters from
terminal equals 30 typed direct.
Anybody have a clue about why this is happening?

Ya, that's the only problem I've had with TeX, though A-W's version for the
Mac is becoming more "Macish" with each release.
Without a full bank of very scrollable menus, however, one couldn't really
hope to allow for all of TeX's options in the Mac interface...it virtually
allows control over the placement of each letter to within a tiny space. And
while the control codes can seem a bit arcane, they do allow for a fantastic
WP or layout construction set. If you don't like "\font\term\cmr10
scaled\magstep2"
you can always define /doit to mean the same thing.
So, while TeX isn't the ULTIMATE typesetting program (the one that sucks my
thoughts out of a wire coming from my left ear, and lays them out in accordance
with some warped vision I have in mind), it's not as bad as it sounds (at
least, after you play with it for a few weeks).

These are reported results from the DiskTimer program as of Oct. 28, 1986.
DiskTimer measures performance on large (32KB) data transfers and on access
time (seeking, head movement). The results are independent of the file system,
amount of free space, System and Finder versions, etc. There is no direct
translation of these results to perceived performance in ordinary Mac usage.
Multiple results from the same drive by the same submittor which vary by not
more than 5% have been combined into one report by taking the best result
for each of the three tests. Where three or more reports from different
submittors on the same drive were available, I have omitted those having
results on all three tests which fell between the best and worst shown below
for that drive.
Additional reports are welcome on hard disks not shown below or those which
have only one report so far. Please disconnect Appletalk or other networks for
the test, since network activity generates interrupts that temporarily suspend
execution of the disk driver software.
