1,310 | Hi all,
I am looking for a new oscilloscope (BK 1541-B, it looks like, Goldstar OS904S
if I can find one cheap enough) and would like suggestions on a low-priced
source for them.
(Currently, BTW, Fry's electronics in Los Angeles has the 1541-B for $598,
the best price I've seen overall for now - They carry the GS OS902S for
$490, but I need the 904S because of the 40 MHz B/W)
Thanks all. | 3 |

2,413 | I purchased 2x8 MB 72-pin (60 ns) SIMMs for my Quadra 800 from Chip
Merchant (I've been very satisfied with them in the past). Either one
alone works, but both together fail. I called Apple for advice and was
told that there was a problem with "Composite" SIMMs. Only non-composite
SIMMs should be used with the Q-800. Chip Merchant confirmed that they
presently sell only composite 72-pin SIMMs. So, Q-800 SIMMs need to be
both 60 ns and non-composite.

Why are circuit boards green? The material used to make them goes by two
names. If it is used to make circuit boards it is called FR-4. The same
material is used in the cryogenics industrya and marine industries as a
structural material and is called G-10. FR-4 and G-10 are both green. They
are not green because of a solder masking agent. The basic ingredients are
a clear epoxy resin and glass fibers. I am not sure what the specs are on
the resin, but if you are really curious you can call NEMA (National
Electronics Manufacturing Association) or Ciba Geigy (a major manufacturer
of epoxy resins) to find out. As an aside, I occasionally mix clear epoxy
and glass microsphres to cast small structures for cryogenics experiments.
The proportions of glass to epoxy are about the same as in G-10. They are
the same green color.

Bzzzzzt! Wrong answer. The UK tone dialling is identical to the US system.
The different settings on your modem are so that it uses CCITT V21 & V22
tones for data transmission, rather than Bell 103 & Bell 121 tones, which are
used only in the USA and canada AFAIK. As most people now use at least
V22bis, this is largely irrelevant.

3,565 | My friend has a Macintosh IIfx on which he is running System 6.0.7 (not enough
memory yet to run Sys7 adequately), and he noticed that when he tries to use
Multifinder on this machine, the machine will beep every few seconds
incessantly, nonstop.
Now, this friend has a tendency to "install" things on his machine rather
haphazardly, but he *did* rebuild his System from scratch and it still occurs.
Does this problem sound familiar at all to anyone? For all I know the problem
is caused by something really obscure but if this is a known simple thing
(yeah, right...) that someone is familiar with (like "System 6.0.7 Multifinder
doesn't run on a Mac IIfx"), or if someone here knows what he should be looking
for, please send e-mail either to me or to him (smh@vaxf.acdnj.itt.com).

It's not the temperature, it's the karma. You see, dirt has good karma,
since it's all organic and full of living things, but cement is all squared
off and artificial looking, and has lost its karma in the process. Being
a karma sink, it sucks all of the good karma out of the battery which is no
longer able to keep a charge. Because wood is also good and organic, putting
a board between the battery and the cement will fix the problems. | 3 |

They do interpolate - it's not linear interpolation though. You are correct
that the frequency content is not altered (more specifically, the baseband
spectrum is preserved, and so is every Nth image spectrum. The other
(N-1) in N image spectra are removed, where N is the oversampling rate)
Ideally the filter has a gain of 1 from 0Hz to 22050Hz, and a gain of 0
from 22050 to the new Nyquist frequency. In practice a finite transition
band is required, and there is also a certain amount of pass-band ripple
and stop-band leakage. With a high order (eg 200 taps) digital filter,
a very good approximation can be easily achieved.
<<< BIT DELETED ABOUT OBSERVATIONS OF INTERPOLATION FILTER AT WORK >>>
No, they actually use a digital FIR just like yours, but built in hardware,
on custom VLSI chips for (mainly) economic reasons.
I guess that the answer is somewhere between the two.
As an interesting (?) aside, some of you out there may be aware of a scheme
used by Pioneer and Wadia, which is called (by Pioneer, at least) Legato
Link. I haven't heard one of these players, but by reading advertising
blurb, and a couple of pseudo-technical articles I deduced that all they
do is build a lousy digital oversampling filter, and let a load of the
first image (ie aliassed) spectrum through. Talking to Bob Stuart (of
Boothroyd Stuart, aka Meridian) confirmed my suspicion. He said that it
sounded awful, but then he would, wouldn't he...

There are two approaches:
1. If your power cord is the kind that detaches from the back of the
monitor (most common) you can get a *replacement* power cord that will go
from the monitor to the back of the computer.
2. You can get an adpater that connects to the plug end of the existing
power cord and provides the proper end that plugs into the back of the
computer. | 3 |

I've been wondering about this myself. The house wiring thing is really
hokey. There is no doubt that high pressure ultrasound is annoying, but to
whom? Given that these devices have been advertised to be effective against
everything from insects to rodents to nasty dogs, what is to say that my
insect repeller won't just annnoy my dog and give me headaches? Could there
be that much selectivity in frequencies? Have there been ANY studies
on the effects of various pressure levels, bands, and sweep patterns on
various life forms?
And how effective could they be? I certainly would not want to tell anyone
that they are safe from nasty dogs because they were carrying a piezoelectric
buzzer...

818 | I'm looking for a circuit that will flash an led on in response
to the output from a walkman cassette player. How could I do this?
I don't want it just to turn on, I want it to 'strobe' once so to speak,
per every beep I put on a cassette tape.
Would it be better to use a circuit based on the volume of the beeps
on the cassette, or better for the leds to respond to a tone of a certain
frequency? Is there any easy way to do either of these? I'm looking for
the simplest circuit possible. I guess what I'm asking for is some sort of
color organ, but not quite. Let me trt to explain again...
I'm going to have a pattern of beats (or beeps) on a cassette tape.
So on the tape you'd hear: beep! (pause) beep! (pause) beep! (pause)..etc.
, with speed increasing as time goes on. I want to synchronize an LED (
probably two of them) with the beeps on the cassette tape. So the LED, with
each beep, would go on and off real quick, generating a strobe light sort
of effect. The rapidity of the beeps on the tape would in turn effect the
rapidity of the blinking of the LEDS. And if there was no sound on the tape
(except for background his), the LEDs would remain off. Please help!

The card has an fpu socket on it. It provides thin Ethernet connector
and there's another connector on it which resembels to phone connectors.
My questions are:
- Will this card work on any other model than LC-serie ?, given that
it's a PDS card, will it work with the IIsi PDS slot ?. I think there
may be a probleme because the LC has 16 bit wide slots.
- What's that other conncetor on the card ?.

2,299 | While I have gotten 8-9 years out of this digital receiver, it
has been acting VERRY strange of late. I hope that the following
symptoms may help someone diagnose the error:
- i know that whatever lithium memory backup it had - has long died
thus if i unplug it - it won't remember the presets
- it has given up listening to the remote. (i tried changing the remote's
batteries) when i try a remote function - the receiver registers that it
received it (a green remote light flashes) but the right function
doesn't happen - if any function at all. (also strange- when i hit
the "mute" button, for example, the display panel goes black - yikes-
i've never seen that before ...)
- before all the strangeness started, the system turned itself OFF and ON
again - by itself
- sometimes it won't play a radio station, so i have to kinda twist it
(yes kinda flex the motherboard, chasis) for it to get the radio
tuning back - the aux in function always works however....
it is inconvenient, but NOT inconvenient enough to pay an
expensive repair fee. while, i'm not a hardware guy, i wonder
if something as simple as a surge supressor will be a quick fix.
the strange thing is that these symptoms come and go ...

1,637 | Interesting delema for all those out there.
My school is discussing installing a Mac lab of 10 to 15 stations for our Bio
100 to 103 classes to do a study with pig disections. (no joke) Here is the
deal. We can get this grant to do a study on if it is more feasible to do a
disection via the computer or via the real thing. My problem is I was somehow
drawn into this project (being done by students who want to go Mac but know
NADA about them, being the man mac man on campus, guess who they came to?) so I
wnt to know what would probably be the best hardware to fill the follwoing
list? Right now we are looking at the C650 8/80 and the 2vx 5/80 platforms.
Ok here it goes:
We are using cd-rom, so ought we go with the internal Apple Cd-roms
offered as options in the 650 and vx or go external. It is a matter of price
and reliability, the second being VERY important.
How much RAM? I was thinking 5-8 more leaning towards 8? What do you
think?
Ok, called apple educational discounts and they said their keyboard
(extended) is 160.30. Is it better to go with the Apple and their long time
great wear and tear record, or is there a 3rd party extended keyboard that is
just a reliable? Price?
Printers: One color printer we are presently leaning towrds the
Thermal Wax Tektronic 200e or 200i (Probably the e as we are going to limit
access so we don't needed the i's networkability) So, what do you think in
terms of color printers? Different brand? Kind (Dye Sublimation? Ink Jet?)
Price? Companies? 1800 #s? Also, we are looking to get a laser printer or
such to network into the whole lab for noraml printing. The fornt runner is
the Apple Pro650 (is that right don't have my notes here?) at 1650.
Suggestions? We have kids using these things all day if this lab goes through
and they know nothing about it for the most part. It has to be reliable, easy
to maintain, and economical (ie, not high priced paper cartidges, etc).
Finally, and this is my little dig into the Project. What about netting
these things? We have ether nearby and I would like to slap the macs on the
net, but, server? Individual ether? Forget about it it is going to be
astronomically priced and the school is going to laugh at you when you ask
them?
Little more info, I am a Poli Sci major who just happens to know alot
about macs but this is a bit out of my league, not to mention I don't have the

Cadium Sulfide cells vary with light. CMOS or TTL gates provide the SIGMOID
somewhat-linear-yet-somewhat-limiter transfer function often used.
Low power Schottky gates, and earlier gates, has about a gain of X8.
LEDs probably output enough light to easily control CdS cells, even at a
few mA. And paper with dark and light regions, controlled by pencil and
eraser, could also control CdS resistance. The very high input resistance of
CMOS gates may let you charge up 1uF paper/mylar caps to serve as memory. | 3 |

Hi,
I have been told by a local sales that Asante has come out with this
LCIII PDS Ethernet adapter with an optional 68882 socket on the board.
My question is will the FPU performance degrade will I put the 68882
on the PDS card socket instead of on the motherboard itself? Intuitively,
the math co-processor should always be placed close to the CPU, but
I am not sure how good Apple's so-called processor-direct slot is when
it comes to throughout. Does anyone know the answer to this or have
any experience with the Asante LCIII Ethernet adapter? Thanks in advance.
From what I've heard the PDS slot clock is only 16MHz, to be
compatible with the old LC style boards, while the FPU socket close to
the CPU is clocked at 25MHz.
I guess a board designed for the LCIII can get a 25MHz clock from the
extended PDS socket... | 3 |

Does this imply the German tone dialing is compatible with the American

4,759 | Hello
I am the proud new owner of a MAC 512K. Upon power-up and insertion
of the sytem disk, I get SAD MAC code 0F0064. Can anyone give me a
clue to what this means?
Thanks. | 3 |

I think it's because the lead gets coated with lead oxide if the battery is
not being charged or discharged. I remember some advice from an ancient car
manual guide my father had, which was to use car batteries to power a garage
clock or something similar when they're not in a car. This is supposed to
prevent the oxidation but I've no idea if it really works. The concrete floor
connection is a red herring.
This may contribute to discharging but would be reversible.
Well, this is off-topic, but back in the days when I used to drive bangers
I never found WD-40 to do anything that wiping with a dry cloth did'nt do.
I think the effectiveness of WD-40 is a myth invented by the guy who owns
the company.

I'm glad to see this idea come up because I've had something similar in mind.
What if you had an authorization key that computed from the name and address
data. When the user registers, you don't even need to send executable code,
just compute his/her key and send him/her instructions to enter in the
appropriate place the following:
Name=Joe Doe
Address=123 Main Street
City=Anytown, CA
key=ldslfoialsdkcdsngsikhsfd | 3 |
5,439 | A friend of mine has a complete set of AIX-PS/2 1.2 software
and manuals for sale. (NEW) (all on 1.44 Meg floppies)
including:
Base OS
Development tools (including C Compiler)
Administration extensions
X Windows / Motif
TCP/IP
PC simulator (DOS Merge)
etc. etc.....
(This software requires a PS/2 with 386 processor or higher,
ample disk space and memory :-) it can coexist with dos and
OS/2 on the same machine, and selectively booted at startup.)
If you are interested email me your offer and I will pass
it along. Keep in mind that the manuals and software fill
up a 12x12x18 box so shipping is a consideration. | 3 |

2,391 | We are having a problem with a Quadra 950 that has stumped a couple of
techs sent to us by the vendor, as well as us :-)
This Quadra is 'stuffed' with 64Mb RAM, 2Mb VRAM and some large disk (400Mb
I think). What happens is that after a certain variable interval of time
the video circuitry 'loses' vertical sync. It is quite apparent that the
Mac CPU is still ok, and the problem really seems to lie with the video
circuitry, since you can still save your documents, quit your aplpications,
even pull down menus etc. (only the display is scrolling lik crazy, so it's
pretty hard to hit menu items ;-)
We had the original logic board replaced twice now, and the same problem
has been occurring on all boards although the inteval between occurrences has
varied. The first board had this problem every about 1hr, more often if the
cache was turned OFF (yes OFF). This is the only symptom that is not
obviously related to the video circuitry (after all the cache is on the CPU
right?). The second board had the problem every about 10 minutes (we did
not keep it, rather we put the original back), the current board we have
has this problem a lot less often (has gone about a week without doing it,
but did it twice within an hour yesterday).
The technicians that have come out to try to figure it out seemed pretty
sharp and tried a number of sensible things (most of which we had
previously tried ourselves anyway). These included:
-swapping the RAM
-swapping the VRAM
-swapping monitors (3 different 13" Apple RGB and 2 16" Apple RGB)
-swapping cables
-disconnecting HD and booting from floppy
-sacrificing various small mammals
Here are some other facts:
-when we put a RasterOps ProColor 32 on the NuBus, the problem is fixed
(it does not occur with the internal video or the ProColor video out)
-the vendor cannot reproduce the problem back in their shop on the boards
that exhibit it in our lab
-Apple is said to be getting a little bit pissed off at shipping us boards
that they cannot find anything wrong with, and getting them shipped back as
faulty according to us.
Here are some speculations:
-I bet that neither Apple nor the vendor has tested these boards with that
much RAM and VRAM on them simultaneaously, which may have something to do
with their finding it hard to reproduce the problem (though we can
reproduce it with just 4Mb of RAM, so this is probably a red herring).
-the vendor's representative blames 'metal in your walls' - claims that our
walls have metal in them which interferes with the Mac's operation. We
have another 950 in the lab which works like a charm (though it's not in
the exact same spot....) Please don't tell me this is probably it, I do
not want to believe it.
-it's probably not poltergeists, since they do not have badges to get past
security at the entrance to our site.
Has anyone any ideas? Please? Please email as well as posting cause I seem
to be spending a lot of time rebooting my mac lately and have a lot less
time available to read news! :-)
Thank you in advance.

this is a bad idea. my machine is on 24 hours a day, but it's actually
_doing_ things 24 hours a day. i use it as an all purpose alarm clock,
scheduler, i've got routines that run in the middle of the night, phone
calls it makes during the day when i'm out. if your machine is _on_ 24 hours
a day, then you can count on it to be _working_ 24 hours a day. i could call
it from work and download a file that i might need, i could call it from
work and have it turn the lights on if i'm going to be late (oops, more
wasted electricity -- but conversely, i could have it turn the lights
_off_). heck, i suppose i could even connect the microwave and have dinner
ready when i get there. | 3 |

Some TV's, including my RCA set at home, uses simple carriers
which I think run between 32 and 36 or 38 KHz. There is no tone decoding
in it. All one has to do to piss the thing off :-) is just hook an
IRLED up to a variable oscillator and tune through. Wreaks all kinds
of havoc. :-)
Similarly, my VCR remote changes channels on my cable box. Always
seems to change the cable box to channel 5 when you do the pause/play.
SOOOO, some things do have some overlap to them. | 3 |

The green layer is a solder-mask, and is used to make a finished board
look neat, and to avoid solder bridges, especially when using wave
soldering (or any other mechanized approach). I've seen red mask,
but most that I've seen are green.
A bakelite board will look brown in colour, and, if the solder mask
is put on, looks like a brown board with green 'paint' on either side
(or just one side) of the board.
A fibreglass board will look green from the side, because the green
solder-mask makes the board appear that colour. If you got a fibreglass
board with no mask, it would be a whitish-grey colour.
Teflon boards do exist, as well... but I'm not sure about that one. | 3 |

5,733 | In the last two weeks I have the following problem on two 160's
1 has a 8Mb Simm and the other a 6 Mb simm
Both are about 2 -3 months old, bought from different vendors and installed
by different people.
Both computers begin crashing frequently, locking up and ultimately the
Memory Chimes. Crashes would almost always occur if you moved the screen
and sometimes would occur when you weren't even touching the computer. In
both cases, taking the machine apart, taking the memory out and putting it
back in solved the problem for awhile but then it would comeback, my
marginally educated guess as to what's happening is that larger SIMMS are
"lopsided" in that the insertion point is sort of a pivot point and after
time they begin to move about - possible because of pressure on the
keyboard or something?
Anyway, has anyone else had such a problem or solution - If somehow you
could support the other end of the simm to prevent it from moving.
I've had no problem for the past 3 weeks by replacing my 8Mb simm with a
2Mbsimm -although this is NOT desireble solution.
Please email any resp - and/or post if usefull to the rest of the world.

5,388 | Hello,
Can somebody tell me what kind of MOV's are most useful for a computer
surge protector? Radio Shack have 2 types, both rated 130V, one for
a 10A current and the other for 20A. On the other hand, commercial surge
protectors I have seen claim a clamping voltage of 330V-400V, which SEEMS to
me in imply a rated voltage of about 250V (250V * SQRT(2.)=353).
What is the right kind?
While at it, ow important is really the EMI/RFI module? Is there really any
noticable level of such noise in the power line?

5,913 | Hello,
I saw this question posted a week or so ago, but as far as I could tell no
answer appeared on the net. What is the good oil on connecting the Apple
Extended Keyboard to a PowerBook? The earlier questioner wonderd if this would
be too much of a load for the PB and as I want to connect just such a beast I
am curious.
I haven't got a PB yet so I can't RTFM but I assume that a standard keyboard
with a mouse would be ok as the spec sheet I read mentioned connecting an
external keyboard. But is the Extended plus mouse pushing it?
Any help gratefully recieved. I will summarise to the net if necessary.
Thanks, John Collins. | 3 |

768 | Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing a very annoying problem with background printing
on the HP Deskwriter (Sys 7.1, Deskwriter driver 3.1, PowerBook 170).
When I print from, say, MS Word, I see the message "Spooling to disk,"
but sometimes nothing prints. Checking my memory map thanks to Now Menus,
I see that HP Backgrounder has not loaded. Restarting fixes this. It
seems to me that HP Backgrounder is quitting unexpectedly, and that its
status as "Multifinder NOT aware" allows it to do this without my being
informed by a message such as "HP Backgrounder quit unexpectedly." Have
you ever seen this problem before.
There may or may not be a related problem. I have experienced
problems in putting my computer to sleep. Choosing "sleep" from the
Finder menu sometimes does nothing. Today on a whim I checked the memory
map, and I discovered that HP backgrounder was not loaded. Restarted
reloaded HP backgrounder, and I was able to put my machine to sleep as
usual. Just a mere coincidence or is the HP backgrounder crash preventing
my machine from going to sleep?
Has anyone seen this problem? I'm seriously considering the purchase of
a StylewriterII because of the poor quality of the HP software. | 3 |

Asking for $500 or best offer...
I paid $697 for the whole package. And it is too late for me to get the
refund. I would sell it for $500 for the whole package. Details could be
provided by request. I do wish to sell the whole package at once. So if
you are just looking for the vacation vouchers, I don't care if you
sell the camera to other for a higher price. If you are interested in
the camera, you could treat the vacation vouchers as gift.

of five awards. Trust me, you would get the exactly the same package as
I did. There is only one award which will be given away. So don't
bother even to call them back, if you are really interested, you could
get it from me for a cheaper price. And you could receive the package
within a week ( I waited three months to get my first and final packages).
Also, they would ask for your credit card number and you have to pay
for the interest to the credit card company. So why spend more than you
should when you could get them from me for a cheaper price.
If you are interested, please reply to me as soon as posible. I really
wish to get this over with. Make me an offer, if I am confortable with
your offer, I would send the package by U.P.S. the next day morning.
More details could be given if you wish.

I had mention in a previous article that I was searching for the 300 external
drive. I did call Apple Catalog as recommended and they told me the drives
were back ordered until May 8. I placed an order anyways and two days later
I had a visit from Federal Express. Well, you can guess how I spent my weekend.
Of course I ended up paying list price but you do get a free copy of PC Exchange
when you order from the Apple Catalog. You may want to check if they have any
internal drives. | 3 |

I'm not an expert, but having spent much too much of my life looking for
the power switch, or the brightness control, or the de-gauss, etc., etc.,
etc. it is my firm belief that the only reason any
controls/switches/knobs/whatever in places where they are hard to reach is
because the designers put them there deliberately.
The real question is weather this is because of stupidity, or
maliciousness.

At least locally, many shops carry a product called Goo Gone. It works well
on scummy-gummy-sticky-goop-that-won't-go-away... As always, color test in

5,854 | As the title says. I would like to sell my Star LV2010 9 pin printer.
Its a narrow colum dot matrix, supports both parallel and serial
interfacing, prints at 200 characters per second, has a 16K buffer,
and is very dependable...
Drop some mail if your interested in it. $55 Plus shipping get the
printer, and 6 extra srink-wraped ribbons, parallel connection
cable, power cord, manual, and ONE sheet of paper (smile)... | 3 |
2,598 | Inkjet and Bubblejet printers are the same tech. "Bubblejet" was trademarked
by Cannon and inkjet was by HP I belive. I have seen both, and own a
"bubblejet" (a Apple StyleWriter which has a cannon engine) with a 360 dpi
rated output. The output is very good with quality paper, which is
very importaint. Cheap paper gives bad results. I use sealed paper and
the only differenc is that the ink is less dark than toner (I compaire
to the Apple Personal LaserWriter NTX), but then again the difference
is $300 to $1500 so....

3,945 | + I am looking at a new LC III and a used IIci. Prices
+ The IIci has much greater potential for expansion, a la NuBus and
+ greater memory capacity.
How important is this? How many NuBus cards do you have/plan to
acquire? How much memory do you really need? I've got a ci, and
20mb of ram. That's plenty. I also have a 24bit graphics card
on the NuBus - I'm a sucker for pretty pictures...I think the
LCIII can have a bootable ramdisk in memory, which a ci can
not have. At least, not out of the box.
+ The LC III would be new, under warranty, newer ROMs (is the IIci
+ "32-bit clean"?), and would have sound input. I also like the
+ "pizza-box" case.
The ci is 32-bit clean. I solved the sound input problem with
a MacRecorder. But that's gotten to be a fairly expensive
solution now that Macromind owns MacRecorder.
+ Performance-wise, I have read that they are almost identical, the
+ LC III being a little slower.
The actual difference is probably not worth worrying over.
+ So, which should I get?
Depends on the price you can get the ci for. Educationally speaking,
the 4/80 [?] LCIII here at FSU can be had at just under $1300. Add
in roughly $500 for a monitor. Last I'd heard, an 8mb LCIII simm
went for ~$250.
I think you're in a win-win situation. No matter what you decide,
you'll most likely be happy with it. | 3 |

Um... they've sold the Cray. They realised that spending two years on
numbercrunching the finite stress analysis figures for the complex
injection-molded cases was not the way to go, and was holding up
development work.
Especially when the first FEA model for the portable left out the battery
cover, and it had to be redone. That's why the portable was about three
years late.
Designing metal cases is easier - they're managing with the Calculator DA,
now it can compute 45/100-0.45 correctly.
Any other suggestions? | 3 |
