Some questions for you net-folks:
1) I believe there is a BITNET server somewhere called MACSERVE which archives
everything on SUMEX. Is this true? If not, what does it do? How can I access
it from BITNET, and find out what's available? What other options do I have,
if I have access to UseNet? Gateway access to ArpaNet (no FTP)?
2) Is the ribbon in the ImageWriter LQ unique to the LQ, or is it a standard
size of some sort? Where can I get replacement ribbons (preferably in NYC)?
3) Has anyone used Hard & Soft's DMA SCSI card? Any other DMA SCSI card? Is
anyone working on such an item?
4) Is there a video controller for the Mac II that will drive the NEC Monograph
decently, for less that $2000 (board & screen)?
5) I desparately need a changes list for system 6.0. Could someone please mail
one to me?
6) I need to strip a System 4.1 down to absolute minimum size. First of all,
what is gauranteed safe to remove for a Mac Plus? Mac SE? Second, does anyone
have a list of what's what in the system so I can remove items I won't be
needing, even though they might be necessary in 'normal use?' This is for a
Mac Plus or SE running on one floppy disk and a remote network server, for
a custom turnkey database system, so certain things which are usually
necessary, such as the standard file PACK, menus (!), or the list manager, are
not used. Since this particular setup is _very_ weird, I'll have to decide
which stuff I need on a case-by-case basis, thus my need for a list...
Thanks in advance
