[... other info deleted ...] 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.

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.

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. --Donnie

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.

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.

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.

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! --

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.

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???

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 Xavier

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.

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.

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.

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!

I thought I'd share a good experience, too. I bought the APS Quantum 240 zero footprint drive in May '92 (back when they still used two separate LEDs on the front panel and the case was metal). While traveling with it (it was in my SE/30 Mac bag, on top of the Mac) this past winter, one of the plastic tabs 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.

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 software to go bad? Are there known INIT conflicts or network conflicts? I would appreciate communication about any similar experiences you may have had or ideas you have. You could send me an email directly to: karens@edc.org....

I wish I caught the original post, but anyway ... 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.

I still have about 70 records left on hand, all in pristine condition (except where noted), quite a few out-of-print and more than a few imports in the bunch. Rather than selling the majority for $3-4 each, I'm looking to barter packages for stuff that you might be selling over USENET. I'll also trade for other records in very good condition that you've replaced with CD, as well as pre-recorded videos on Beta or VHS. In the past, I've been able to make deals based on the equivalent list/store price (e.g., 1 CD = 1 movie in Beta format*) to get around what you or I might have originally paid (as if we can even remember! (-;) ** [At this time, I'm looking for a set of working AA NiCad rechargable batteries ... if you have some lying around, and they're sound, RSVP!] So if you're curious, RSVP for my list and if you see anything that you like, send back a proposal for a record package and a copy of your ad for the stuff you're selling ... thanks! gld * i.e., the imports and out-of-prints are also valued at 1 used CD; ** I once got a 2400 baud external modem for 10 records (list $81); Anybody got a nice, unused blender for making frozen margaritas?

I need help identifying this board that I found stuffed away in a corner. As the title says, all that is printed on it is NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS NB-DMA-8. It fits fine in my Mac IIci and snooper gives the very same name for the board. It looks like it has an HP-IB connector on the back of it and another connector on the top (2 rows by 25 pins). It also looks like it has an Intel processor on it (#A82380-16 Intel '86) On an EEPROM there is a sticker with the P/N 700584-01. Anybody ever seen or heard of one? Or better yet, do you know what it does? We are all clueless here. Our last option is to hook it up to our HP workstations and see if any smoke comes out. Thanks a lot!

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) Thanks in advance, Hiroki

[deleted] 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. Rich

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.

I ordered an external floppy drive from them 2 years ago. When I placed the order, they said it was in stock and would ship the next day. A week passed and no drive. I called them up and they said they were out of stock and my drive should ship in 2 weeks or so. Since I needed the drive right away (both my internal hard drive and floppy were dead) I cancelled my order and haven't dealt with them since.

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.

What I usually use...and this stuff is only good on glass....is either Acetone, or a little Benzene. The latter of the two is a bit dangerous (possibly a carcinogen(sp?)) but it usualy gets the job done. I imagine you can you the two solvents on most metals as well as glass, but keep the stuff away from plastic. Better yet, you may just want to go to your local hardware store and ask them what they use.

I'm selling a bunch of my older 12" records off. They are sitting around collecting dust and I never use them. I have used each of these records, once, maybe twice if I didn't record the song I wanted correctly the first time. These records are in PERFECT condition. Please email me with the records you would want and what you think a fair price is. I will probably give deals, the more records you buy. Kinda capatalist isn't it. Well give me a yell at pagorm@iastate.edu with any comments. See ya Paul I have recieved a few questions as to what 12" are. I guess I should elaborate. (???!!!! am I that old?) They are just maxi-singles on wax. If I am correct most beat mixers still use this form of record. This is probably the kind of person interested in this colllect or parts of it. Any questions call (515) 294-3737. Thanks and see ya. Artist Song

I recently made the mistake of purchasing a SONY CPD-1320 monitor for my Mac IIci. The monitor is very good, however it seems that the IIci does not support VGA (then why did you buy it you ask? I am stupid I reply). What I am looking for is a video card, preferably 8 bit, which supports VGA. I am interested in any information I can get. Offers for the sale of applicable cards will also be considered. Thanks in advance.

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, Rich

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...

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!)

Hi, I am looking an integrated circuits for my Z80-based computer. The circuit is called Z80-STI (Serial Timer Interrupt), MK3801, and made by Mostek. Mostek is called SGS Thompson today. I have been in contact with SGS Thompson, unfortunately they me told that Z80-STI is obsolete. So, my question is if anyone know if I can get hold of that circuits. Are there any companies that specialize in selling circuits that are no longer in production? I have contacted several electronic brokers in Sweden, but without any success. I would appreciate if you could give me hint where I should continue looking. Even companies in the United States would be fine, since this circuit is pretty crucial to me. Thanks in advance.

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!!!

It used to live in a 1990 SE, and is marked 344-0062, and the ROMs that go with it are 341-0701 & 2. Is this the solution to the person who wants to upgrade to FDHD ? cheers Mike.

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! Andrew

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?!

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?

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.

Open up one of the airbag control boxes. They have inexpensive piezoelectric accelerometers in them. I know that the GM cars use the Setra units. The cheapest way to get such an accelerometer is to cannibalize an existing automotive unit.

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.
