Does anybody know of a compiler I could use on my Mac II to develop
code for an 8086 based machine? I also need a prom burner for it...Does
anyone know of a good one to use on the Mac II?
Thanks in advance.

I would like to know whether a Macintosh II has an off-screen capability... if yes, can one control the movement of the mouse on that screen... can that screen be displayed on a monitor other than the one normally attached to the mac ? if yes, any suggestions how one can achieve this ? Thanx in advance.

What does the term "SCSI" in context of Macintosh computers imply ?

It is a reasonably standard protocol for interfacing "high-speed" devices to the Macintosh or other computers. It allows for up to 7 devices to be daisy-chained off of a single bus. All macintosh computer from the mac plus on up come standard with a "SCSI port". It's uses are too numerous to mention but here is a partial list. Most of these products are end use, i.e. plug and play devices. Hard Disks CD Rom players WORM Drives Optical Drives SCSI -> Ethernet ImageScanners Printers Data sampler's etc.. I hope this helps. -- \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\|///////////////////////////////////////// David M.

The same thing it means in the context of other computers. :-) SCSI is an acronym for Small Computer System Interface. It's an industry standard interface between small computers (PCs and workstations) and high-speed peripherals (disks, tape drives, etc.).

Except that Apple SCSI != standard SCSI (by the way, SCSI is pronounced "scuzzy" - people who pronounce it "sexy" are maladjusted dweebs. "DUCK! FLAMES!"). Anyway, for some reason or another, but perhaps just the fact that They Are Apple, Apple decided to implement a nonstandard SCSI cable. Maybe it was faster, maybe because it was smaller (25 pins instead of the standard 50, which would have taken more space on the mac of the machine, or maybe just because They Are Apple, the nonstandard interface was implemented -- I don't know the reasons exactly. Jus' hopin' to 'ave been of s'rvice. Adam (don't ask me to explain what those "'"'s are about. It's too late). -- "What?! He didn't fall? Inconceivable!"

If the only difference is the cable (assuming that no more than 25 of the 50 lines in a SCSI connection are currently used), then a converter cable allows you to connect a Mac to a standard SCSI device or an Apple SCSI device to a non-Apple computer. The important feature of an interface standard is the protocol spoken over the cable. When Macs first started including SCSI I recall hearing that there was something non-standard about their protocol implementation, but I haven't heard mention of this in a while.

Check out a product called 'Timbuktu'. It allows one Mac to control another Mac from the first one. Screen, Mouse and everything else (exect disk inserts of course).
