It comes with some rather incredible software which allows you to do almost anything you linke to the sound sample (provided you have enough RAM to play with!). A full review of the DigiDesign board can be found in of all places, "Keyboard" magazine, I think the August '89 issue from memory (around somewhere then anyway :-)). If you're having trouble locating the magazine in question, mail me and I'll post you the details of the company, cost, specs etc. Geoff Peters

I posted this to comp.sys.laser some days ago, but that group seems not to have any new messages (at least at our site) for 2 weeks. I thought I might have some success here. My LaserWriter IINT is confused! A couple of weeks ago, it started printing on the test page that I had made 400,000+ copies so far (!!! a better estimate is about 6000). Now, since last week, it doesn't print a test page at all. Furthermore, the password seems to have changed as attempts to download header files of various types meet with "invalidacess" complaints from the PostScript interpreter! Otherwise, the machine works fine. In other words, I can get most of my work done, but not being to download headers is going to make me nuts soon! (I should mention that I'm running the LW IINT from an AT-clone with a LocalTalk card). I'd appreciate it if someone can help me reset my printer to "factory specs". Or does this mean a burned-out EEPROM on the system board? I tried removing and reinserting the system board, in the hope that that would reset something, but no dice.

"ASK LCD Overhead Projector for Mac" Does anyone out there know anything about a device called ASK LCD which is simply an LCD for mounting on a overhead projector, which is connected via a interface to a Mac Plus. Particularly I'm looking for addresses where we obtain service information or at least where we might send it for repair Thanks in advance Bruce Bown

Silly question, really. A one-line follow-up will do. Can 4MB SIMMs be used in a vanilla Mac II? Thanks. Josh

Actually, there is a whole tech note (three pages, as I recall) on it. >Can 4MB SIMMs be used in a vanilla Mac II? No. If you have the SuperDrive ROM upgrade, yes, conditionally. The condition is that the SIMMS have an extra PAL to disable the test mode of the 4MB chips. (The SIMM sellers ought to be able to tell you whether they will work with a II. If they won't guarantee it, don't buy them) -- Matthew T. Russotto russotto@eng.umd.edu russotto@wam.umd.edu .sig under construction, like the rest of this campus.

I am interested in video input for my Mac II. In particular, I am interested in displaying a video signal and capturing it as eg. PICT. I would prefer color (8 bit is acceptable.) The price range I am interested in is under $1000. Input from VCR is required... I am aware that Aapps makes several cards for this purpose, but would like to know more about what is available and what people have experience with this kind of thing have found out. Andy

You will need to add 4 SIMMS though - 16mb, and the mac will only recognize 8mb of that, but you can use something like Coneectix's Maxxim to use the other 8mb as a RAM disk.

He has done an immense service to Apple, and commercial software vendors such as the makers of "suitcase", etc. He made the hardware change and Bam! Instant market for keyboard-fixing software! In the long run, this will bring money to the software vendors which will be funneled into new editions of useful mac programs which will drive up sales of the macintosh which will increase Apple's market share! Now if apple were to release a clean design, then shareware / commercial vendors could not write useless software to fix the brain - dead-ed-ness of the new product, and they would all go out of business. 8-).

THANK YOU to everyone who responded to my questions about switching internal and external hard drives, SCSI termination, and other questions. Things are working fine now. It appears my problem was that I needed to install the "terminating resisters" into the former external drive so that it could terminate itself if necessary. Well, that leads me to some comments about APS with whom I bought the drive from. Kudos to APS! 1) they included these resistors with my external drive taped to the hard drive inside the case just in case someone like me needed to make the drive an internal one. 2) their tech support was very helpful when I went through this process. They were always willing to lend helpful advice. Special thanks to Mark at APS whose help is greatly appreciated. Finally, special thanks to Saiid for all of his helpful email comments. ---Derek Fong fong@cive.stanford.edu thewho@portia.stanford.edu again, as always, it is a pleasure to be part of this fine group. disclaimer: I do not work for APS...I am only related by means of being a very pleased customer!

A piece of software called SoftPC will permit the LC to work as if an IBM AT with an EGA screen, at XT speeds. Two versionss are available: 1. New one for LC and Classic. 2. OLd one for most of others. Check the details. An article in Australian PC week Jan 30(?) gave details.

I a a human<->computer interface researcher at The U of Michigan and I am looking for an almost impossible part to find. I want to connect several Macintosh keyboards and mice to one computer, and have them work simutainously. I have been told that the ADB can handle this, but you can't simply daisy chain the keyboards together because thier is no place to connect the mouse if you connect the keyboards together. So I am trying to build a Tee connector, that would fit between keyboards, and allow one to plug in a mouse. But I can`t find the bizzare socket that Apple uses for the ADB! I need the female sockets that I can plug the mouse and keyboard connections into. Somebody PLEASE tell me where I can get such a thing!

SSODERSTR@cc.curtin.edu.au <<---- Reply Here!! Hello... Im intersted in Importing a pre-loved MacII from the US. I know the power supplies are International but I have some questions. (1) What is a reputable company to do this from? (2) Whats an average price for a MacII, 8Meg, 40/80HardDisk, 8-Bit color. (3) Marathon Racer for MacII....would it make the MacII basically a MacIIx ??? (4) Dirty Roms....Does this matter is you probably won't need more mem that 8Megs? All replies will be appreciated and if you have a MacII you want to sell and are honest....give us a yell. oh yeh (5) Is it possible to get all these MacII motherboards that people dont need when upgrading to a IIx,IIfx and put them in a IBM AT case with Power suplply.
