Are you sure it's not a problem caused by software? I've seen this sort
of effect when a runaway program (which could be caused by an INIT
conflict, for instance) accidentally wacks on a register in the video
hardware. Have you tried booting with no extensions and then letting the
Q950 just sit there in the Finder? You might also want to try changing to
24-bit addressing (yes, I know you can't access your full 64 MB of RAM -
it's just an experiment) as the video hardware registers can't be accessed
then.
Another thing to try as a 'recovery' measure is to use something like
QuickKeys to change the pixel depth of the display. This reprograms (some
of) the video hardware registers and may allow sync to be restored. | 3 |

They are real, and we still pay licence fees to receive TV.
The detector vans pick up the IF, true. This tells them what channel you
are watching. The can also pick up the line time base freq, and frame rate
(Try it with a LW/MW radio near telly, it picks up a sharp hum)
From this they can even watch (poor quality though) what *you* have on the
screen, by picking up re radiating junk. | 3 |

You're right, it is HAPP Controls, Inc., but you can buy direct from them. I
don't have a phone number with me, but anyone interested in it can email me for
it. I don't remember their button price, but the joystick price was $8.95
per dozen at last check. Should be slightly higher for one or two, but cheaper
than Parts Express. As for the trackballs, i don't know the new price either.
But I can sell you rebuilt arcade trackballs for $50. That includes new rollers
and new bearings (when nec.). I also have a pile of used joysticks and buttons
that i would be willing to sell. Please email to address below if interested.

787 | Actually, the Quadra 900 and 950 both have the same SCSI controller, (running at different speed). They are not SCSI 2, but can support
certain SCSI commands that take advantage of faster drives. The
I/O processors are present on both machines. The Q950 runs its
I/O bus at 25MHz, while the 900's I/O bus is 16MHz.
The Quadra 950 supports 16bit color on all monitor sizes, as well
as 24bit up to 832 x 624 resolution. It also supports 1024 x768
resolution. The 900 supports supports 8bit at 1152 x 870, and
does not support 1024 x 768 at all.
VRAM on the 950 is 80ns or faster, and 100ns or faster on the 900. | 3 |

You don't say what kind of "electronic equipment" you mean. It's hard
to give a generic answer. There is essentially no solvent that won't
do things like washing lubricant out of switches.
When we've needed to do an emergency cleaning job on things, we've just
used distilled water. The key thing to remember is to make sure the gear
is *completely* dry before powering it up again. We let it dry for
several days to be damn sure.
I doubt that methanol has significant advantages over water. I would
be very wary of CCl4, not least because it is dangerous to *you* even
if it's not going to harm the equipment -- not only is it poisonous,
but I believe it's now known to be carcinogenic. | 3 |

Wrong, it has a 6507.
It had one custome chip (not an ASIC in the sense that word is now understood):
the TIA (sometimes known as the 6526, although most other manufacturers list
that as the CIA complex interface adapter.) TIA stands for Television
Interface Adapter, and it handles sound, paddles and the minimal video hardware
the 2600 possessed.
There was also a standard 6532 RAM, I/O, Timer (RIOT), plus a voltage
regulator and (if memory serves) a 555 timer. That's all.
Not according to the servicing documentation I have here. The 2600 did not
change intenally very much at all.
ROMS were mapped into the upper 4K of the 6507's address space. 2K and 4K
games were fine, but later 8K and 16K games needed bank switching. Atari
(and others) made much of these "huge" cartridges.
Wrong, it had 128 bytes of RAM from the RIOT. This was multiply mapped into
both page 0 (pseudo-registers) and page 1 (stack), and also throughout the
bottom 4K of memory. TIA registers also sat in this address space.
As 128 bytes of RAM was somewhat limiting, some later cartridges also carried
RAM themselves, which was interesting as Atari had provided no write line
to the cart. This was managed by mapping the reads from RAM into one address
the *very* scarce ROM address space. | 3 |

Jeez, that should do it.
Very interesting application, controlled lighting and environment, moderate
distances ... might be more interesting than my application. Just a thought,
you could use a roof mounted IR sender, similar in operation to a TV remote
control that tells each persons coded IR pulser to send a pulse. A Hamamatsu
detector, as was mentioned in a previous message in this thread, would give
the current position. Store and collate this on a computer and you could
replay the movements on the screen. Interesting!

Well, Bertil, you might laugh, but in many places here in Austria, there are
no wall jacks yet, either - just wires sticking out of the wall (and put into
a closed, often sealed, box) :-)
As far as I remember from Germany, it is a nicely mixed situation - somebody
had wires sticking, somebody had jacks...
On the other hand, everywhere in Bohemia I have seen wall jacks, and never
seen just wires sticking out of the wall... And I thought Slovakia was the
same case. Well...

Pink Noise and White Noise are equal amounts of all frequencies. This
is in most cases around the 20-3.3K Hz range. Pink/White are used to
adjust for room dynamics and stuff like that. There are a few EQ's out
on the market that have Pink noise built in. Most all from Audio
Control have them I know the C-101 does.

2,127 | OK...here is my question. I want to hook up my PowerBook 160 to
a SVGA monitor but I do not want to buy the PowerBook/DOS Companion. Can
anyone tell me the EXACT cable I need to connect them? If there is such
a cable, can I purchase it from MacWharehouse or some computer store?
If I must buy the cable from James Engineering, how much do they run and
how can I get a hold them??? I guess that was more than 'a' question. :)

We use it as starting fluid for jet ski's. The fact that its a lubricant
works very well since jet ski's are 2 cycle. It also helps when a ski
floods with water because we clean the spark plus with the stuff.
OB sci.electronics:
I have an office/studio in my garage with a phone in it. Our wireless phone
has a page feature where you can make the phone or hand set ring to get
the attention of the other person. Is there a simple circuit that I can use
over the second pair of wires (or the first pair) to emulate this effect
with the phone in the garage? (ie push a button to make the phone ring in the
house or push a button to make it ring in the garage.)
Thanks

For those who are interested, the FCC does indeed care about cable
leakage, particularly into the aviation nav band, or leakage that
is "causing interference to other services".
Part 76.611 details specific limits to acceptable leakage, and
measurement technique. If you will clearly document your problem,
and measurement technique (a signal level meter with dipole is the
normal approach, remember to correct between measurement data and
microvolts per meter) and fax or mail the details to Mr. John Wong
Cable Branch, FCC 1919 M st. NW Wash DC, and a copy of your letter
to the local cable company, you will get results. In fact the cable
company will probably start treating you much better when they realize
you have figured out how to get the FCCs attention.
What is important is to document your case as it relates to the
applicable rules. However the cable company *is required* to
at least check out every complaint of leakage. They must file
with the commission and maintain on premises a yearly measurement
report that details the results of leakage testing.
But remember, call the cable company first, and give them a
chance to work to correct the problem before contacting
the commission.
I am in the business of measuring cable system leakage via
the airborne method.

2,059 | I have the Logitech hand scanner for the Mac. It uses a SCSI
interface box that the standard scanner unit plugs into. I
have tried my friend's IBM hand scanner with the scsi box and
it works. See if you can get Logitech to sell you the scsi
box by itself. Warning: most of the cost of Mac handscanners
is contained in the scsi interface box, so it could run up
to around $200. When I upgraded my old style scanner to
the new gray scale model, it cost $75; they just gave me a new
scan head and software; the box was the same. The gray scale
scanner + interface runs about $300; making it around $200 for
the interface. | 3 |

5,951 | Just thought I would add $0.02 to DeskJet thread. I got my
first one in college about 5 or so years ago.
I've been a happy HP user of the DeskWriter for Macintosh for
past 5 years. I got one just a few months after their release. And I
got software revision 1.0a (now I'm up to rev. 3.1. Our family (sister
and father) have each purchased their own DW's after seeing mine go
for one year unscathed (their stuck to their trusty ImageWriter II's).
The original DW has gone for 5 years at moderate personal use. I would
say that it has gone through at least 15,000 sheets, and around one
(small) ink cartridge every 3 months or so.
My brother might take this DW now (I'm probably gonna give it
to him), and I am looking to upgrade to a color DW. The chief
advantages/disadvantages I've found over the years are:
Advantages: Quick (2-3 ppm), Quiet (roomate can sleep while it's
printing), AppleTalk Networkable (unfortunately the original wasn't,
so look out if you buy used. I rewired our home with phonenet
AppleTalk connectors, and while home, we can all use my dad's one
DW!), and cheap (now run ~$300). BTW, you can upgrade older DW's to
color or for appletalk, I dunno if HP still does the upgrades, but I
received many offers (I just didn't ned it however). Also, crisp
laser-quality output is a wonder (used to really impress those
ImageWriter Dot-Matrix people so much so, that I had to charge $0.25
per sheet to stop my college dorm neighbors from bothering me at all
hours of the night....)
Disadvantages. Ink used to be hard to find, and wasn't cheap, and
wasn't originally water-proof. While HP has done wonders with the ink
(I dunno if it's still toxic), it is still subjet to smearing and
running (if you run around in the damp Boston rain, and get your
bookbag completely soaked). Ink now runs about $14-$15 for small carts
(I get mine from Elek-Tek in Chicago, I think they're now down to
$12). The ink carts used to say they're dated for only 6 months, but
I don't think they say so anymore. We stick to a 4 month supply (of
about 3 carts). We use cheap Hammerhill Laser Print paper (after
fooling for a long time. Laser/Xerox paper is also good). Smearing
doesn't happen, unless you have a brand new ink cart and you grab the
paper and smudge it all over as soon as it comes out of the machine.
Other disadvantages are : No Postscript (this can be an advantage in
speed, usually). Ways around this are Ghostscript or Freedom of Press
software solutions. I bet HP probably has a PS prototype inkjet, but
they won't release it for fear of hurting LJ sales.
In the end, the primary advantages of laser are true postscript
(unless you go for cheap lasers), and fused toner (no smearing, even
when soaking in water). Lasers are slightly sharper, but the only
instance where I needed precise layouts was Printed Circuit Board
Transparencies for PhotoEtching. I found a Textronix color Phaser
Postscript (Thermal Wax Transfer) to work the best to make PCB
negatives directly onto a transparency. | 3 |
5,790 | Being in the "visualization" stage of a circuit design right now,
I was wondering what the best way to "scale" an AC voltage using an 8-bit
digital word is. I am thinking of using the common method of sending the
word through an ADC and then comparing it with the AC voltage (converted
to a sawtooth wave) to get a duty cycle. However, I am leary of this
method because it a) requires a lot of parts, and, more importantly, b)
creates a lot of interference from the switching on the entire AC line. I
realize that correct filtering could cancel out most of this interference,
but that would require more parts and boost the price further.
Someone mentioned to me that they had seen an IC which input 8
bits of data and DIRECTLY scaled the AC voltage coming in all on-chip.
Unfortunately, he couldn't remember the chip number or the manufacturer;
if anyone else has heard of this chip, please e-mail me.
I am building this project as a "dimmer box" for a light
controller circuit and it is important that the cost of each box remains
very low because one dimmer is required for each light that the user
wishes to control (well, each channel, at least). Therefor, if each box
costs $150, I doubt that an end user will want to dish out ($150 x 16 =
$2400) for sixteen channels... This is something I have noticed about
today's dimmer boxes; they are so expensive!
Anyway, any help which someone could offer on either a method of
easily doing this or info about the chip which will do it for me (always
the preferred method... :) will be greatly appreciated! | 3 |

holding the front panel on broke, so that the right side of the front panel
was coming forward away from the rest of the drive. I lived with this situation
until it became completely intolerable (which more or less coincided with a
network shutdown at school and a trip out of town I had to take, which gave me
some dead time during which to have the drive sent out).
I called APS for an RMA # and got one, with no questions asked about how the
tab got broken (it was handled a little roughly by airline baggage handlers --
though nothing else was damaged [well, except for the internal speaker in my
modem, which wasn't that well glued down to begin with] -- yeah, yeah, I'm
never flying with my SE/30 again). And when I called back to ask whether I
could send it in a little later rather than right away, they had no problem
with that -- even when I exceeded the normal valid period for an RMA # by a
day (they're usually good for 10 days). The front panel was replaced under
warranty, and the drive was shipped back quickly (I mailed it first class
insured on a Saturday by noon from L.A. to Missouri, and it came back by Fed
Ex by Friday [I don't know exactly what day it came back because I was
traveling that week from Wednesday afternoon to Sunday afternoon]).
The only thing that could've been bad was that the first service rep I talked
to, in an attempt to prevent jeopardizing my data, suggested that I take the
drive mechanism out and send just the case. Unfortunately, I discovered the
day I was mailing the thing, that would necessitate breaking the little
seal and thus voiding the warranty! Oh, well. | 3 |
5,085 | We are having problems with our Laserwriter print drivers going bad on
various people's machines on our Appletalk network. On our network, people
have 7.0, 7.01, and 7.1 versions of the Laserwriter print driver. We have
been solving the problem by reinstalling the print driver, but it is
time-consuming and a real pain.
The Printmonitor software also seems to go bad frequently. We have also
just been replacing it (over and over, it seems) to keep things running.
Does anyone out there have any ideas about what may be causing the printing

The problem is that the Plus's poor old power supply (sometimes referred to as
the analog sweep board) is on its way out. Apart from a board swap (bikkies to
Apple), there's not much the average Joe can do to fix it.
You can, of course, try and re-adjust the voltage levels (the 5v rail should
be as close to 5v as you cn get it) but this is more often than not a
temporary fix. A copy of Larry Pina's "Macntosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets" is a
worthwhile investment for the serious do-it-yaself-er.

1,876 | Hi, I just test installed kanjitalk 6.07 on my IIci
and got a black screen, a way sick looking mac icon, and when hitting the
programmers reset, a tone sequence that I guess is the infamous "tones of
death."
I was able to reboot off a floppy, removed the japanese system, and
set up the system folder on the hard drive to get system 7.01 back.
Now have no overt problems with the mac.
Any idea what caused the tones? I forget the numbers but 7fff comes to mind.
If it is some self diagnostic, why would an older system version catch it,
and not 7. ?
(I'll be moving up to 7.1 and worldscript by-and-by)

This is a pet peeve of mine. I wish companies would put power switches on the
front of the equipment! If my Apple monitor had the switch on the front, I
would happily power it off at night. Almost every piece of computer equipment
I own/use has the switch on the back (including external hard drives and
modems--why?). I hope front-mounted switches become the norm, and soon.

8 MB SIMMs do not have to be composite SIMMs, although many (most?) 16 MB
SIMMs are. 72-pin SIMMs allow two memory banks per SIMM, thus permitting
the use of 4 Mb DRAM devices (the same ones used on 4 MB SIMMs) to be used
for two 4 MB banks on one SIMM. I can't imagine that it would be cheaper
to build an 8 MB SIMM using 1 Mb DRAMs as the 4 Mb parts reached (and
exceeded) bit for bit price parity with the 1 Mb parts some time ago.
It's probably possible to build a single-bank 8 MB SIMM using 4 Mb parts -
this could cause problems in a Q800. I'm not sure why you'd want to do
this, though, as a dual-bank 8 MB SIMM would be cheaper to build than a
single-bank composite one. | 3 |

7,252 | Hi,
I'm having problems tying to get a Sony DAT drive to work. I'm using
Retrospect 1.3Ci,
and my only luck with getting the drive to work has been with a Mac IIci,
which has
now unfortunately gone to another department.
Ideally, we want to attach it to our Quadra 950 setup. I can't seem to
get the
Retrospect software to recognize the media at all. When in the "Devices"
dialog,
it can see the DAT device, but comes up with, firstly, 'Running', secondly
'Media Failure' and then immediately 'Contents Unknown'. This does not
happen with the
Mac IIci setup, which simply says 'Ready'.
I'm hoping someone else will have had similar problems but found some
solution... I
know some others who have had problems with DAT devices and their Quadra,
but they have
a Mac IIci which they can use!
THE SYMPTOMS
System software is 7.1, also didn't
work with 7.0.1
I have tried the following:
Turn off all extensions, except Retrospect SCSI (required)
Tested on a variety of machines: Quadra, IIsi, and LC (at least).
Connected no other SCSI devices
Tested all varieties of SCSI termination etc.
Replaced the DAT unit with a new one (Yes! we got that desperate!)
Read the Retrospect manual (EVEN MORE DESPERATE :))
Replies via email would be greatly appreciated... thanks in advance.
I'll post any
solutions to this group.
Cheers,
Matt.

Don't be silly.
Using the Sound Manager on a Quadra is very well, but using SM on
any of the low-end machines doesn't simply work for a decent action
game since it just steals too much time from the CPU. This is
a fact. By writing directly to the hardware on an SE, it is
possible to have 4 simultaneous channels of sampled sound (11kHz) for
a cost of approx. 8000 cycles. Exactly how would you do that using
the SM, pray tell?
The correct thing to do is to use the SM on the machines that can
carry that extra load using the SM means, and to write directly
to the sound hardware on the machines that can't. It's not the
politically correct thing, but from the developers' point of
view it is.

Better yet, you may just want to go to your local hardware store and ask them

Subject: SyQuest internal 44 drive with 8 cartridges: sale or trade
Summary: Will trade 350Mb for ~300Mb IDE, or sell for $450
Organization: Mississippi State University
Distribution: na
Date: Tue, 20 Apr 1993 18:48:06 GMT
This drive is less than one year old. The cartridges have all been bought
since then. All is in excellent condition and still under warranty.
Due to a change in system use, I now need a large, contiguous drive.
Offer includes:
SyDos 44i internal drive
SCSI adapter card and cables
All original documentation
Software
All original packaging
8 cartridges totalling over 350Mb (no bad sectors or defects)
The installation was a breeze on my 386 clone.
I will trade for something near 300Mb IDE, or sell for $450.
I will also consider trading for 4 4Mx9 30 pin SIMMs at 70ns.

2,827 | I just thought I would pass along my experience with APS. I recently ordered
an external Quantum 240. The salesperson was friendly and knowledgeable, the
order came when promised, and the invoice was at the price quoted.
Installing the drive was simple; I didn't even have to read the manual. The
SCSI address is set by a pushbutton arrangement. I daisy-chained the drive
from my Syquest (also from APS) and booted up with no problems.
I'm still going through all the shareware that comes on the drive. It's a
pretty good assortment.
The drive/fan is a bit noisier than I would like, but I think it'll be OK.
The speed seems very good, although I haven't run any objective tests. It
also seems to spin up pretty quickly; I can hit the power switch for it, and
almost immediately power the Mac without any problems booting from the drive.
Some observations: the case is plastic (good quality, though) while my older
Syquest case is metal. There is one LED, which is normally green, and
flickers red as the drive is accessed.
Just a data point,

4,031 | Well, actually not quite. Both Radar and Radio-Altimeters measure distances
by measuring the time required to transmit a signal, then receive its
reflection from a target. Radar generally uses pulses, while Radio Altimeters
use either pulses or a modulated continuous-wave transmission. In the case of
the latter, highly accurate distance measurement can be made. As an example,
the original Bendix ALA-52 Radio Altimeter was accurate to 1/8 foot at 2500
feet altitude.
Note, however that this is a different method of measuring than the poster
originally asked about. The problem with gaining accurate measurements between
a transmitter and a seperate receiver is that you need a highly accurate
time base which starts at the receiver at the exact instant the transmitter
triggers. This cannot be wire connected, since radio waves will actually
travel faster in free-space (air, in this case) than wire (the difference
is called the velocity factor of the cable). So you need to resort to a
common timebase that is automatically corrected for distance, etc. Something
like a PLL connected to a GPS receiver should do the trick, triggering both
the transmitter and receiver simultaneously. Sound expensive? Not too bad,
but plan on spending a few bucks in both equipment and effort.
Why not go to a different method? Surveyors use a laser-light system where again
the reflection time is measured. Why not try this? (Sounds like something a P.E.
should know about anyway ;-).
This is actually highly inaccurate, since the power output of a transmitter
varies from unit to unit, there are variances in the antenna and transmission
line, and the receiver may also vary, both from unit to unit, and the same unit
over time. You would need to continuously calibrate the entire system. With
the radio altimeter this is also done, but since everything is located at
one place, it is much easier to do. Note especially that the time base for
the R.A. receiver and transmitter is one unit also...
Nope. FM capture effect says that the strongest signal wins. That is, unless
the two interfering signals are seperated by more than 3 db in signal strength.
This is the one problem that makes altimeters inaccurate at very low altitudes.
Signals bouncing off runways tend to be VERY strong...
As high as possible to eliminate outside influence, and also to enhance
attenuation of multipath signals. Radio Altimeters typically use frequencies
around 4 GHz.
Hope this helps...

4,954 | I have a question for y'all:
I'm looking at an ad for the new 3.5" FAST SCSI-2 drives from Micropolis
in the June, 1993, MacWorld. (I have seen similar ads for the IDE versions
in IBM PC magazines)
Well, the ad says that all three drives have a FAST SCSI-2 interface,
but then it says that the DTR rate for each drive is 5 megabytes/second,
*max*.
How can this be? I thought that if a drive was to be FAST SCSI-2 it
had to have a DTR of 10megs a second?
(I am assuming the 5megs/sec claim by Micropolis is from the 512k cache.
I admit that I would be very impressed if the drive can *read/write* data
at 5megs a second!) | 3 |

I, some years ago, almost became a victim of this. Squirted a fair amount in
an old model 15 Teletype which was acting up, then turned it on. The eruption
when the motor starting contacts broke was mighty spectacular... I almost got
my eyebrows singed, the plastic (old ones had safety glass) cover over the
platen, etc flew across the room, and several people in the room almost had
heart attacks. Beware the explosive properties of WD40 vapor.

7,025 | Re: Methods for attaching heat sink to processor.
Go to Radio Shack and buy a tube of heat sink compound. It comes
in a little blue and white tube with a black screw on cap. At
Radio Shack, it's catalog number 276-1372. It's a mix of
silicone and zinc oxide, and conducts heat very well. Plus, it's
tacky. | 3 |

Any help would be appreciated.

4,575 | The color of the board shows the composition of it, hence the use of it.
Original and older boards were bakelite composition, and were brown.
Phenolic (spelling) was a tan
Most "non filled" fiberglass boards used in computers are green.
Filled fiberglass is blue.
Teflon is white.
As boards evolved more and more demands were made of them. First boards were
used mainly in audio circuitry. Couldn't be used in high voltage or RF because
it would arc and burn. Most boards today are fiberglass, the type being chosen
by its use and cost.
Boards in satellite and microwave communication are teflon (and ceramic) as the
fiberglass, and other boards are conductive (they actually work more as a
capacitive dialectric, but the word conductive simplifies explaination) at the
high frequencies.
Another printed circuit material used mainly in automotive and interconnections
is a thin flexible (mostly mylar) material and is used to connect the front of
the vehicle (etc) to the back instead of wiring harnesses. Camcorders use this
to intereconnect the boards inside where wires would be a nuisance.
Am working on a generator made by Hewlet Packard right now and the entire board
is gold plated, boy it looks expensive!!!
Hope I got most of my facts right as I am working from memory of material read.
My education was pre-transister!

How much software is out there for the Mac? I've been interested
in using microcontrollers in imbedded applications for a long time,
but was always under the impression that I would need an IBM to run
the debug/compile/etc software.
I would like to use a 6811 or 6816. I'm proficient in 6800 assembly,
but have never NEEDED it except some toying with old 6802EVBs.
Motorola doesn't seem to have any information on Mac software (at
least their local distributor doesn't) and the ELE department around
here has been of little help as well.
I hope someone can tell me that I don't have to buy an IBM to
work with the 6811 or 6816 Evaluation Boards...please send me mail!

Interesting, as I think computer technology is now
becomming widespread enough now that it is no longer a position
which must require a degree. I know of several people I work
with that make just as much as I do and they don't even have
a BS degree in comp sci. yet they make 28+ a year. They also
didn't have to pay 30 grand to thier local University either. :(
I think computer programming is being reduced to a trade
practice, than a truly specialty field. It will be even more
so in the future.
If your interested in cutting edge type of stuff and you
choose CS as I did, I suggest checking out the emerging field
of Software Engineering. The difficulties for example of designing
scaleable design environments for individuals so that a single person
can handle 100,000 to 1,000,000 million lines of code all by himself
in a reasonable manner and then incorporate that into a teamwork enviroment
is truly a gigantic problem...not going to be solved any time soon
unfortunately...but hey you could be the person that provides
the missing key for some good groundwork!
Well, if your like the poor slobs in the world..like me, you are
in no financial position to continue Graduate work right out
of a Top 10 comp sci school.
The trick is, to find some generous INC you work for to PAY for the
rest of your education...TRUST ME its the best way to go..even
if you don't get a TOP salary. Which I have always been a poor
slob throughout school but if you follow this rule: BOOK=SALARY=FOOD&SHELTER
you should always have a computer and you won't go hungry.
What else could a man want?!

840 | It happened to my classic ii once. At startup, after the usual powerup
tone, there were chimes (kinda like do(1st)-mi(1st)-sol(1st)-do(2nd) or
1st C - 1st E - 1st G - 2nd C on the music scale), and it hanged before
giving the happy mac. I had to re-powerup.
This was asked before but I can't remember the answer. I've tried to
find the answer from the faqs and other ftp sites but to no avail.
Can anyone tell me what those unusual chimes mean? A spurious memory
check error? | 3 |

I am using a NEC 4FG with my Centris 610. The cable adapter was provided by
NEC (you have to call to get this free adapter). I am also sharing it with my
486 (using a switch box and extra cables).
My questions:
How do you tell if it is 600x400 or 800x600 that was displayed?
Or how do you change the mode(resolution)?
Is there SW for this or something I have to do with the HW?
I am assuming I am getting 800x600 since I have 1M VRAM and the 4FG can display
1028x768(?) with my 486.

If you are just getting sick of the real estate used by the HCT373, you could
always use the approach I have seen one designer take - he stuck the chip in
the middle of the EPROM socket, under the EPROM. Naturally, you have to use
an IC socket with the right dimensions, but layout is really easy. | 3 |
