Actually, the 295 is for the 33 MHz PowerCard, not the Universal Powercache.
The 33 MHz Universal Powercache with FPU and adaptor can be had for about
$500 (still not a bad deal). I believe the Powercard is one generation
older than the Universal Powercache, and the one primary difference is that
the Powercard is machine specific while the Powercache can fit into many
Macs with the proper adaptor. Both cards are 68030 based.
I'm not sure if the hardware or software with the Powercard is otherwise
different from the Powercache (perhaps someone could enlighten me?).
I would also add that I called River Computer the other night and these
Powercards were going very fast. | 3 |

Rubbish. The reason for the colour of the boards depends on the solder
mask that is used. Older boards (bakelite and phenolic) rarely used
a solder mask (these boards are not suited well to automatic stuffing
and soldering techniques) and hence are the colour of the compound
used to make them. These days boards are made of fibreglass for most
general purpose uses and have a solder mask applied to them to prevent
close traces shorting to one another during soldering (and also to prevent
the decomposition of traces under harsh environments). The light and dark
green boards ofter seen have a "dry film" mask applied to them (usually
applied as a complete film photographically produced). The blue (and red
or orange) boards are a two-part epoxy or a liquid-imageable resist
formulation and are applied in a different manner. There's a lot of info
about the pro's and con's of each, but that's another story...

1,319 | Greetings netters,
I have a Seagate 3144 130MB IDE drive forsale. I bought it yesterday
and have been able to come across a 215MB that I am going to buy, but I
need to sell this one. I guarantee that it will work. There is still a
transferable warranty I believe. It was only used as a boot drive, not a
server (source) drive. I just want my money back out of it...$180. Thanks
a lot and offers appreciated. Dave 317-495-5978 kari@sage.cc.purdue.edu

sort of packet counter. Do any exist, and where are they?
Thanks again,

2,347 | D> I am going to purchase a Modem with a S/R FAX capability. Currently I

My telephone line seems pretty stable and I have the Supra as well. Works
great but with every passing day I fall behind on how many great 14.4s are
out. Zoom is out of the question from what I'm hearing. AT&T has a great
product from what I hear and the Sportster is really cheap now too.
If you want to receive a fax, your computer will have to be on, but not
the monitor and of course the modem. You can set the number of rings that
will receive the fax on a specific ring you set with Fax STF software.
It's entirely up to you how to arrange that. I've had faxes sent to me
which is great but I've been home to set it. I don't have a need to set
fax receiving up all day. Also I hear there is a device that can channel
all incoming phone signals for about $70. Rumor also that the phone
company can hook you up with the same gizmo for about $5 if that's what
you need.
Best of luck and write back if you'd like more feedback.

This topic was beaten to death a year or so ago.
The concrete is not the problem.
Lead-acid batteries often fail from disuse (not being charged for a long
time), but there's no way the concrete floor could be the cause of the
problem.

Well, yes and no. The _image_ can't be on the screen less than 1/30
of a second, but a _mixture_ of images that's about 90% of the field
that was supposed to be there and 10% of the 'subliminal' addition
could be overlaid for one field, producing the same overall effect to
our sluggish retinae of a discrete image projected for 1/300 second.
..although, like the previous poster, I have to reserve my doubts
about the effectiveness of said discrete image in steering my
subconscious around ..

4,291 | Hello,
we need the code for decompression of Quicktime JPEG Pict files, as they
don't conform to usual jpeg compressors, which are available in source.
The code should be in C Pascal or Modula. The code will be used on several
platforms to view pictures over ISDN. Perhaps a special hardware will be
put around it (much less then a mac! perhaps only a DSP with some support
chips)
If the code is not available, perhaps the algorithm is available to
decompress
them.

1,555 | If you want slow LED flash rates, adjustable by switches (or by a
4066/4016 digitally controlled switch), I suggest looking at a 555
oscillator chip. They cost ~$1 at Radio Shack (much cheaper in
quantity at quality places), and you will be able to find good info
about simple circuits in a 555 oscialltor notebook (I think Forest
Mims has one at Radio Shack). You'll have to toy with
resistor/capacitor values OR you can use your head with a little math
to get the right frequencies. Any engineer worth his salt, can make a
555 osciallator... It's in the book, and left up to you to see (I hate
doing ASCII circuit graphics). The 555 can accurately go from a few Hz
to about 500 KHz (I think).
About the Tape Recorder gizmo, you could alter a stereo tape deck to
use one channel as a DATA line (for flashing LED), and one as audio
line (for voice or music). This would eliminate a lot of noise.
The data line is probably most easily done
by some kind of PLL or bandpass filter (using just an op-amp). The 565
chip is a good PLL, and not hard to work with. However if you nothing
about how a PLL works, I suggest you don't try this. Op-Amp
information can also be found in the Forest Mims Radio Shack
info-booklets, and the popular 741 op-amp is a snap to work with.
Setting frequency and bandpass filter values are not so easy, so I
would suggest the 555 method firstmost... I have no idea what this is
going into, so I am really generalizing...
As for manufacturing techniques, if you're only goofing with it, I
suggest you breadboard the thing... No need to solder. Wire-wrap would
be the next, more permanent step. And lastly, soldering/PCB making.
Hope that clears things...... | 3 |

3,853 | From article <1993Apr22.165659.8890@desire.wright.edu>, by demon@desire.wright.edu (Not a Boomer):
Hmmm... that's not quite right. The Performa 600 is Real Darn Close
to the IIvx (but a better buy IMO). I also don't think they are so
much a 'low-cost business solution', but a low-cost _home_ solution.
Why else bundle at ease (among other things)? Hardly a business
application.
What do you mean by 'no "retail price"'. Quite the contrary, I think.
The price is darn near the same all across the country. That (again,
IMO) was one of the selling points of the performas -- ie: no haggling
required. Kinda like the Saturn (car) of the computer set. One
price, medium performance, ready to go.
When I shopped for my Performa (600CD), the difference between Sears
(*sigh), Montgomery Wards, Silo (*sigh), Circuit City (*sigh*) and
Bizmart (*sigh*) couldn't have been $100.00. Why I chose one over the
other was based solely on availability and a friendly salesman who
went the extra mile (when did you last hear that about someone who
sells Apples?). Admittedly, except for Montgomery Wards (and I
suspect I was just lucky) all of the salesfolk I spoke to didn't know
didly about the computers, peecee or mac. But then, neither did any
of the Apple dealers I spoke with...
If you would've told me a year ago that I would buy a Macintosh from
Montgomery Wards I woulda laughed for a long, long time. Go figure.
I'm *real* happy with my Performa. Oh, and I bought the Apple
Performa Plus monitor (vs. buying 3rd party). Happy with that
decision as well. I walked in, plopped down some cash, and walked out
with a spankin' new computer the day before Christmas.

3,551 | I've got 2 foot switches for sale. They appear to be designed
for studio use (ie: they're very well built) - 1" in diameter, 6'
cord. I'd like $15, but I'd also like to sell them, so make me an
offer.
Also I just bought a new Ibanez guitar so I need to sell one
of my others. It's a Kramer with passive EMG pickups (2 single, one
double). These pickups sound GREAT and are whisper-quiet. I'd like
to get $250 for it.

3,036 | I'm trying to find some information on accelerator boards for the SE. Has
anyone used any in the past, especially those from Extreme Systems, Novy or
MacProducts? I'm looking for a board that will support extended video,
especially Radius's two-page monitor. Has anyone used Connectix Virtual in
conjunction with their board? Any software snafus? Are there any stats
anywhere on the speed difference between a board with an FPU and one
without? Please send mail directly to me. Thanks. | 3 |

Yes, 4 points, in really big holes which are fairly clear of most of
the other stuff on the board. If you can replace the battery, you
can install the battery holder. | 3 |

Yes, but still not a 6502 for those differences. Same instruction set,
of course.
Yes, the same number, but an entirely different device. I should have
qualified this further by stating that this was the PAL version of the TIA -
I am not 100% sure that the NTSC TIA would have a different number.
Does anyone on the net actually have details of the TIA, as this is the only
device I have not yet discovered details about? Atari Australia, when asked,
claimed that their attempts to get the programmers documentation for the 2600
had failed, as the US head office had refused to provide it.
I saw a couple of cheaper devices with PN2222's and a couple of resistors
hooked up as a cheap inverter. Nasty, but workable, and cheaper than a
7404 inverter if labor costs almost nothing. | 3 |

Just MHO, but I prefer hardcopy books because you can have three or four
of them open spread across the bed (next to the desk in my dorm) and
reference them while using the program full-screen. The Windows Help
things come closest to good on-line documentation I've seen, but they
generally aren't detailed enough and would probably take a LARGE amount of
space (even compressed) which is at a premium on my system . . .. In
fact, the manuals are the primary reason I bought Borland's C++ compiler
instead of using the one the lab licensed (in the lab, of course). I've
got a SHELF full of books to help me out when I'm stuck. :-) To each
his own . . . :-)
We've destroyed about six sets of original Microsoft Word for Mac 5.0 and
Word for Windows (may have been a bad batch of disks). Don't have the
faintest idea what happened to them, they just went bad. Weren't stored
near any magnetic fields or otherwise mistreated, indeed they were only
used once. Given this, and the massive headaches finding a working set of
disks to fix some of the machines that periodically go down, I'd say
having working backups is a godsend. I sure wish we'd had them (Sometimes
I think Murphy's Law holds true more often than Newton's!!) when we needed
them. I think it's sortof like snake antivenin. 99.995% of the time you
have absolutely no use for it, but when you need it, BOY do you ever need
it!
I don't have backups of my originals at "home" but then my machine doesn't
see anywhere NEAR the use/abuse of these here at the lab, and so I
consider it less of a risk. Still, I usually make "working copies" of
them when I install them and then eventually re-use these "working copies"
for something else. . ..
Just mine, too! :-)
BTW, before anyone notices my mentioning "copying" programs from machine
to machine when we do installs here and wonders about the licensing, the
upper-management (non-student staff, of course) are METICULOUS in checking
with providers of the software and making SURE we are sticking to the
license agreements . . .. | 3 |

3,905 | The battery goes dead primarily becaust the floor is cold. The temperature
combined with self-discharge promotes sulfation which ruins the plates of
the battery. I strongly suspect that the only reason the battery doesn't
go dead as quickly on a dirt surface is because cement tends to be quite
cooler.

we've gotten lots of registration cards.
I hear that the program has been cracked though. Someone two people
actually called up my support--one with a question, the other wanting to
buy our graphics libraries (right!). Anyway if anyone wants to help me
catch a cracker and has the cracked version, mail me. I won't accuse

I strongly disagree. I think most pirating is done by amateurs, who won't
copy the program if "diskcopy" can't do it.
If you're talking a 20% max goal of pirated copies, I bet that anything that
will beat diskcopy, and can't be easily copied from a hard drive, will
suffice.
I hate hard copy manuals, and would rather have all docs online - *not*
because I want to copy the program, but because its usually faster and
and convenient than sifting through an old book I can't find.
Off deeper end-> Why does everyone think they need to be able to make a
backup copy? Almost all new software must be installed to the hard disk,
so you are left with the originals as your backups. I think its a waste
of time, space, and money, as well as it makes it to tempting to "lend"
out the backups.
No flames intended - just my thoughts. | 3 |

Even better than that... how does a 68000-based Amiga 2000 perform in
daily tasks compared to my 68030-based IIci.
Answer, except in a very few cases, I get my butt kicked by the Amiga.
Sure there are other considerations, but it goes to show you how
proper design from the beginning (in hardware and software) can give
you great returns. [as well as showing you that if you don't have a
marketing department to speak of, no one will care how good your system is]
I'm still happy with my ci, but I don't understand why the performance is
so bad (comparatively). They could have done multi-tasking _properly_.
They could have done everthing else better -- but apple didn't.
(of course DOS 6 and windows 3.1 are nothin to write home about either!!)

Hey, can someone clue me in on these and other weird types of amplifiers? Just
a brief intro to the concepts behind these would be cool. I have the clues
on type A, B, and AB already and stuff, but these other ones are mentioned
occasionally and I dont know what they do. I think type D is like a PWM scheme
or something. Thanx in advanced.
---------->
The whole point to these weird amplifier types is improved efficiency.
Class D amps *are* PWM (pulse width modulation) amps which work very much like
switching power supplies. I think I've seen these things called "class S"
before as well. They're capable of very high efficiencies, and would be suitable
for very high power. I've yet to see anything like this used in an audiophile
amp, though. I've been trying to design a three-kilowatter for the last year
(to be used as an inverter for an UPS), but have been having serious problems
with layout parasitics (10 IRF 450's in parallel... any help with a do-able
isolated drive ckt would be appreciated :) )
I'm not absolutely positive about this, but I beleive a 'class G' amp is one that
operates off a variable- or switched power supply rail voltage. The Carver
amps do something like this. They use some sort of phase-control circuit
(I do not fully understand its operation) to reduce the transformer size, and
I beleive that is patented. I had an M400 apart (trying to fix) and found that
it had three rail voltages that it switched between. I ran a simulation on
PSPICE and found that the topology would greatly reduce power dissipation (heat)
under large-signal conditions, or when driving reactive loads (which draw high
current at the zero-voltage crossings). | 3 |

[story about dealing having problems w/C610's deleted]
I've had my C610 for about six weeks now with no problems whatsoever.
It's been "customized" with---
* replaced the Apple-Quantum 80 drive with a Connor 212 drive.
* installed a Tandberg SCSI tape drive in the internal bay which works
just fine (though Apple doesn't seem to be supplying front panel
bezels w/ a standard 5.25" cutout...).
It's hooked up to an Apple LaserWriter Plus and has no printing
problems at all, tested printing complex Photoshop graphics.
It has expanded VRAM and extra 8 meg SIMM, no problems.
So in sum, I have no idea what this dealer is complaining about.

836 | The first problem was the sound. I tried the M0, but then even the logon was
muted. I don't want that. Any other suggestions for that hissing?
The second is really strange. First, I kept mentioning that FC slowed down
all the time and took too long. Well I just logged on with extensions off and
I didn't have any slowdown. Also, last time I was online I quit (which
usually disconnects and quits). It disconnected but it wouldn't quit. I had
to force quit, and then when I launched FC again it said the modem port was in
use. This is really strange. I thought it might have to do with fax
software. Or the restart could have reset the modem port (a more likely
explanation). So, any suggestions?

6,429 | Having vainly looked for devices capable of dealing to the NEC 77P20
DSP chip which dont require taking out a mortgage, i decided to roll
my own. Not a difficult task for an 8751, given that all the timing
relationships are set out in the databook. One thing bothers me, that
is the accursed 50ms 21 volt Vpp pulse. Sure, a little buck step-up
converter can achieve this (in what is otherwise an all 5 volt widget)
but i know latterday eproms dont need nearly this pulse length.

4,322 | I guess the real question is:
Who asked the original questions, and why was it so _broad_.
Are we talking pure processing power (what kind of processing BTW)
isolated from every other factor and influence in the system?
Or are we shopping for a home computer based on the CPU specs (yuck)!
I just finished a project that involves real-time processing of serial
data and discovered that the programming interface (assembly) has
_a lot_ to do with the "power" of a CPU in a particular application.
If what you want to do is easy to code with the instruction set given,
then not only is it easy, but it's cheap and quick. If you have to
fake things (like resolving indirection without a LEA instruction), then
your cycle count goes through the roof!
well, let's _NOT_ start a flame war about whose computer is better than whose.
The orginal question was about classifying micro-processors...
having re-read the entire thread, I don't think much more can be said without
getting down into specific proposed systems with important details given.
That's it for another $0.02.
Cheers everyone.

could be plugged into (something) and they would glow. One was red,

oh, the pads were rubber-like and were floppy like, about 1cm thick or
so.

I can produce similar artifacts.
I am using a Centris 610 with an Apple 16" monitor. I got the 8/230/CD
configuration, so there is on-board ethernet and 1 Megabyte of video ram.
The effect only occurs in 256 color and 256 grey modes. Any vertical scrolling operation, whether with a scrollbar or, say, using vi and inserting lines,
will produce a scattering of horizontal flickering lines on the screen.
They do not persist -- each is visible for perhaps one refresh, and then
that part of the screen is back as usual.
They seem to always start at or about the 64th pixel from the left,
and are maybe 512 pixels wide. This is certainly not preventing me from
using my Macintosh ;-), but it does seem to be a sign of something
perhaps grounded incorrectly in the video circuitry...
I went ahead and called the Apple Customer Assistance Center, at:
1-800-776-2333, or 1-800-767-2775 (more direct?)
The person who answered was polite :-). I also took the chance to complain
about my mouse button sticking, and about the mac hanging on boot after a
(hard - killed MacsBug) crash which left a CD in the drive. (I had to play
with a paperclip for about 5 minutes to get thing to eject, after which the
mac booted fine.) | 3 |

3,110 | I need to make a power supply that can take input from a
cigarette lighter in a car (12v dc) and drive 7.5 volts
at up to 3.0 amps. I know enough to know that a simple
voltage divider with two resistors won't do it right. Can
such a thing be made from Radio-Shack-able parts without
too much difficulty?

p.s. I've looked for premade things like this at radio shack but
none of it seems to go any higher than about 800mA.

7,005 | Greetings netters,
I have the following items for IMMEDIATE sale. I need the money and
if you need the stuff, we can work out a deal. :)
Sharp single disk cd player
Originally paid oodles, but that was a couple of years ago. It works
well, has all the standards...(remote sensor[remote not included];
20 track pragrammable memory; etc.) I got a new one and need to sell
this one. Please email me an offer!! (it's the standard black
component style cd player)
3.5" 1.44 meg floppy drive
A real IBM floppy drive with cable and mounting case. I paid $40
a couple of months ago. The drive works (as last time in). I
would like to get the $40 back for it, but OBO applies.
5.25" 360K floppy drive
I'm sure someone out there needs an extra 360K. It works great and
is nice and quiet. Again, please email offer.
RC10 remote control car
4 time world leader design. It was just overhauled. It runs great,
even though the body if not all that pretty. Has new engine in it
as well as racing pinion. The chassis is nicked up from hard running,
but it's still a great car. Does not include electronics. Comes
with monster truck conversion kit (wheel arms already installed)-virgin
truck body and bumper etc. Car+kit=$100+20=$120 OBO...make an offer!
D&D stuff...you name it, I probably have it. Please send email regarding what
you want...or a request for sale list. I hate to part with any of it,
but needs are needs, eh?
Misc CD's
Alice in Chains - Facelift $8
Skid Row (self titled) $8 both obo...really.
Box of computer printer paper...paid $20 for it, make offer.
I might have 4 1*9 meg **60** ns SIMMS forsale if I get a new motherboard...
if you interested, the price is $40 a piece sold as a set.

Are the boards at all intelligent? (I.e., run by microcontrollers?) The
easiest thing would be to have another line that says that one of the
boards is talking to the PC. When this line was true, the other boards
could all hold off and not send their data. This isn't a perfect solution,
though, since you have to worry a little about making sure two boards don't
decide to talk at the _exact same time_.
Other than that, I think you will need to hook up each board to "something"
that speaks RS-232. This actually isn't as hard (or as expensive!) as it
used to be, though. Assuming the boards talk relatively slowly (9600 BPS
or slower), the PICs can coordinate things between themselves to multiplex
the data. (This is really just forbicly adding the suggestion in the first
paragraph to your system. And it assumes that each board doesn't talk more
than 1/8th of the time, of for very long, since a PIC isn't going to be
able to buffer more than, maybe 20-some bytes!)
You might want to check into the prices of multi-serial card for your PC,
though. I recently bought a Boca Research 2x4 card (2 parallel ports, 4
RS-232 ports) for a very reasonable $85. | 3 |
6,669 | Probably won't help. I'd be willing to bet that _every_ manufacturer
used those little self-contained modules. I think Sharp made them.
Radio Shack used to sell them for a few bucks (maybe they still do.)
The module had 3 leads: power, ground and demodulated output. It
contained the photo-detector, amplifier, integrator and demodulator
all in a tiny metal can.
If you want to buy one, try Radio Shack, or else a TV repair shop can
probably order one. BTW - the carrier frequency is 40 KHz, and each
different TV/VCR/cable box/stereo manufacturer uses a unique pulse
scheme to perform each different function on their equipment.

7,181 | : Why does a lead acid battery discharge and become dead (totally unuseable)
: when stored on a concrete floor?
It could be that you stored it somewhere that it could become covered
by moisture or damp air, which would short out the terminals.
The same thing happens to my car (Citroen 2CV) -- damp gets under the
bonnet (US: "hood") and shorts the spark-plugs to earth so it won't start.
The solution (for the car) is to clean the plug leads and spray with
WD-40 (moisture repellant). If damp *is* the problem, then storing the
battery off the ground may help. I'm not sure if spraying with WD-40
would be safe since it is very flammable (high percentage petroleum).
Just a thought...

Accelerometers are not cheap, mainly because the outputs are fairly linear
with respect to acceleration. You don't say what the range of acceleration
you want to measure is, and there are other ways in which to measure it
other than using an accelerometer. Additional information would be helpful
to anyone who may respond. | 3 |

RAM is something you add all the time, so no. It's more like BIOS
manufacturer and/or processor type (386/486/etc). Data cannot be used,
esp with these new Flash ROM BIOS machines with updates on a diskette.
On the other hand, to make this LESS intrusive it could be disguised as
"Please Insert Original Disk #XX as I need file YYYYYY for update". :-)
It would be perfectly reasonable... Sort of.

Of course it is easier. Are you saying then the originals SHOULD allow
only one install? What is your point?

I know x86 and 680x0 assembly quite well, thank you. I know exactly which
two bytes need to be changed, I have the code to do them too. I just said
"Don't ask me which ones." I didn't say I don't know what that means.
Such hacking can be EASILY discouraged by adding anti-patching code which
does a self-check upon execution and refuse to load if CRC does not match
value stored (encrypted, of course) in the program. It could be claimed
as a part of anti-virus code, and it would not be far from the truth.
a special patch once the user registers that loudly exclaims upon bootup
above.
Did ANYONE read what I wrote? That is NOT what I wrote! (or meant!)
What I said was the program should have certain restriction (such as the
restrict-to-one-machine) UNTIL the program is registered with the
manufacturer. The manufacturer will then supply the
then-proven-legitimate-user with a patch that will disable the restriction
and PROUDLY PROCLAIM the legal copy with the "Registered to XXX" screen.
Of course they will, but that was NOT my point. The purpose of copy
protection is to discourage casual pirates ("Oh, can I have a copy of
that?"/"Sure, here.") and the less sophisticated pirates ("Let's look for
all those calls to INT13H...") . Any one determined enough to break copy
protection can and will succeed. They can always backtrace the entire
load-sequence of the program. The point of copy protection is to make
such attempts take as long as possible while not intruding upon the uses
(or to minimize such intrusion) of legitimate use. Pirates who see copy
protection as a challenge love breaking them, and no amount of copy
protection will stop them, but the rest of us WILL be stopped. How many
of these hardcore pirates are there compared to rest of us? Not that many. | 3 |

3,440 | : One not-so-quick question to throw out there for you guys...
: For our class project, we need to design and build a power supply
: to the following specs:
: Voltatge: adjustable from 1-12V
: Current: *limited* at 1A
: Voltage must stay within 2% of designated value for I from 0-1A
: AC ripple less than 5 mV (rms)
To decide which kind of circuit you must know the initialprecission of
the limiter-current and the allowed temp-drift.
In the first case, you can use a Ube of a transistor as a voltage-reference
of about 0.7 VDC with a temp-drift of 2mV/K. In the second case its better
you use a bandgap-ref and a opamp-circuit to detect the maximum-current.
The output of this opamp controlls the outputstage to limit the current. | 3 |
3,359 | Hi,
Just a quick question. What standard lab solvents can be used to
clean electronic equipment and components safely (ie not corrode, dissolve,
short-out, etc the equipment)?
water? :-)
methanol?
CCl4?
etc?
I am not an electronics type (surprise, surprise), and I want to avoid using
freons. | 3 |

This is called silver bearing solder. It is used to solder to
devices that have silvered contacts. One application is soldering
to the ceramic terminal strips used in the old Tektronix scopes. These
were notched ceramic strips that were silver plated in the notches.
If you used ordinary solder the molten metal would disolve the silver
off of the ceramic. The silver was quite thin. The 2% is a saturated
solution of silver in tin and lead. Thus, no more silver can be
disolved in the solder solution. Other devices that use silver contacts
are quartz crystals and ultrasonic transducers. | 3 |

I guess he is right. Early versions of the RasterOps cards did not either,
but they fixed it, and people with problems can get a free ROM upgrade
from RasterOps.
Very easy. If you boot without the MODE32 control panel, then it will
disable (or rather not reinstall) the 32-bit clean patches. So when
you run OK you must be in 24-bit adressing mode. Check About this Macintosh
and see if you havce a 12+MB system.
