It has been demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I am not very smart. I have tried to upload this and the next missive a number of times. In the Messy DOS world, a carriage (ctrl-M) is not enough; a line feed (ctrl-J) is also required. Also because of my lack ... learning a new board takes time. To all who have suffered my stupidity, I apologize; however, now you are stuck with my ... Oh Well! Life goes on! Chris Moylan: ]Apple //gs Diagnostic programs? Where did you pick these ]up? I need some because I get scattered GS errors, and ]sometimes I think there's something wrong with my hardware, ]I do have a lot of stuff inside it! :) I gave a demonstration of "Managing Your Money" to SMAUG (?) in southern Maine. Someone there was giving out the disk. The leader of the group is a straight i.e. honest, fellow so I assumed that the disk is legal. It will test every Apple I have: from a IIe/c to my ROM 3. Unless I hear otherwise from one of the people whose signature indicates that they work for I DON'T CARE; I DON'T HAVE TO - I'M APPLE COMPUTER Inc., I'll send you a copy. Send me a 3.5 disk and a stamped return mailer; WAIT TWO WEEKS, so that I can hear whether it is not legal from one of those same fellows. To those same fellows: from your replies to questions on this net, it is orotund (though not pompous) that you do care; it would appear from the outside that only the asshole who runs the place DOES NOT CARE!! Back to Chris - There is also a share ware program by Mike Coffey called YOYO DUCK. Mike said the explanation of the name is a long story and would not waste my time giving it to me over the phone. It is on 5.25 disks. When I transferred it to a 3.5, I had some trouble. The controller program is in Basic so could be altered for 3.5 disks; I haven't bothered. I could also put it on the disk. PAY YOUR SHARE WARE FEE!!!!! or leave a message that you do not want it!!! Robert Dull: ]Does anybody have the address of TML Systems? Are they ]still in existence? Thanks TML was sold to: Complete Tech Inc. 2443 S. CO Blvd. Suite 221 Denver, CO 80222 303=758-0920 The fellow there said that they have a new Pascal and are working on a new basic; wouldn't you know - I want the new Basic. ---------------------*******************--------------------- For Sale: My daughter wants a gs; thus, she has for sale her IIc+. It is in excellent condition. She has a mouse for it if you would like one and also a joy stick. The usual AppleWorks and others. She has a number of different monitors that you could choose from. She needs another $350 for a used gs;make her an offer. ---------------------*******************--------------------- I have a ROM 3; within is a PCT (s4; I hate mice and avoid them at all times - only if forced to use it do I consider doing so - I'd rather rewrite the code), an AST RamStakPlus (does everything from AST have a `Plus' of a `+'? I'd rather the world were run by engineers than marketers) and a RamFast(s7) for my HD. My monitor does not sit atop the gs; it is on a platform I have built for it and my printer. The hottest items in the gs are the RAM card and the power supply; I could incubate an egg - not cook it. I also have ZipGS(s2). I occasionally get crashes into the monitor. These come only after I have used a P8 program (95% of the time & Apple Writer 95% of that) and then switch into a GSOS program like ShrinkitGS or somesuch. I also have gotten a few of the infamous $0308s; I know that the $0308s have nothing to do with heat as they could happen as I turn on the system or later after warming. Testing with the afore mentioned Diagnostic disk, I always get a `bad serial crystal' (ZipGS s2???); the disk program occasionally will crash into the monitor when going from ROM to IOU/MMU or from IOU/MMU to RAM tests. The disk never crashs when going from RAM to Aux RAM (they call it Apple) or at any other times. As I said in an earlier post, I HAVE NO LOCAL DEALER to screw things up; I'M ON MY OWN!!! Any help would be appreciated!!! Surely, the question will be asked: If all you do is Apple Writer, WHY BOTHER WITH A ZIP? Well, using a 387 on spreadsheets spoils you. Also, a Zip is nice for database work which I do with Apple Writer. MYM is also a database program. lablues!larry@mother.bates.edu becoming_______ | Larry Schneider /\ | |\ /| /\ |\ | | P. O.
