I found Larry Pina's 1990 Macintosh Repair and Upgrade Secrets a good book. I was wondering if there is a similar book that covers the Mac II, IIX and IICX. We have few Macintoshes and many of the Macs and would find such a book much more useful. If anyone knows of any such book, please post to this group or send email to rjudy@dime.cs.umass.edu Thank you.

Larry mentions a MacII book in the Mac plus/se book (page 293 )
I think this is one of the great mysteries of the universe.

It won't be H.W. Sams, though, they dropped Larry just before Mac Repair & Upgrade came out (they didn't think it would sell!), so the new book is from Brady Books. He's also got another in the planning stages - a diagnostic, look up the problem, find the solution book of technical tips and information gathered over the last three years. The latter will be either a book or (I've suggested this to him) a series of technical newsletters available by subscription. This would get the information in the hands of the users faster. If you'd like this sort of thing, let me know and I'll tell Larry there's interest in it. -Owen Owen Hartnett omh@cs.brown.edu.CSNET Brown University Computer Science omh@cs.brown.edu uunet!brunix!omh "Don't wait up for me tonight because I won't be home for a month."

If some kind soul could post to this group when the book is actually released with title, publisher, price etc., I'll race you to the bookstore to place my order. > He's also got another in the planning stages - a diagnostic, look up the > problem, find the solution book of technical tips and information > gathered over the last three years. > > The latter will be either a book or (I've suggested this to him) a series > of technical newsletters available by subscription.

I for one would be very interested, depending on price and whether or not my boss will hold still while he pays for it... :^). If this project is done, please post info to the net. And Owen, if you have a line to Larry Pina, please thank him for me! The current book is one of the best researched, most clearly written tech books I've ever run across! ************************************************************************ My wife AND my employer ignore my opinions - feel free to do the same! ************************************************************************ * John Norman Sims, Jr. * BITNET: JNSIMS01@ULKYVM * * University of Louisville * Voice: (502) 588-5565 * * Computing and Telecommunications * Fax: (502) 588-5048 * ************************************************************************ You can't win, you can't break even, and you can't get out of the game ************************************************************************
