[comp.sys.mac] Backup programs, Mac speed

dbarnhar@oiscola.Columbia.NCR.COM (David C. Barnhart II) (04/13/90)

I have a couple of questions for those out there who might know.

1.  Is there a backup program that will allow you to backup software from a
    hard disk to a set of floppies, then remove the software from the hard
    disk, then let you add more software to the backup set of floppies without
    removing what is already there?  For example, I keep tech notes backed up
    along with the QA and TechNote stacks.  They take up too much room on my
    hard disk, but I can restore what I want when I want to use it.  Now, if
    I get new tech notes from the net, I want to be able to add them to the
    backup set of floppies without having to restore everything and then back
    it up again.  I've checked out Redux 1.62, which a friend has, but it
    doesn't seem to be able to do what I want.

2.  This may sound strange, but are there any cdevs or something similar which
    will allow you to slow down the Mac to some slower speeds, such as those
    of the Mac Plus or SE?  There is at least one game I know of that plays
    way too fast on my IIcx, but works fine on a friend's Plus.  He's
    interested in buying a newer mac, and this is one concern he has.


Thanks for any information you might have.
