From: Neil Fiertel <nfiertel@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca>
Subject: 

I wrote on Nov 3 this query...I received at least 60 replies to my question
from all over the planet...Most had some very useful obervation and four
had the identical solution that I had found on my own by playing around
with the Toast software that I had missed the first few times around... All
of the letters had ways to make the problem diminish and many had
interesting software solutions that I had not encountered before.  They are
all very much appreciated.

I have been stymied by the inability to make a compatible CD-rom of jpeg
files to be accessible from either a Mac or a Windows machine.  I burned
the disks using Toast with the ISO 9660 file format and found that they
were fine for the Mac but with a Windows machine there did not appear to be
the jpg suffix required for the software to identify and open the files.
It was necessary to copy them over to the Hard Drive and then add the
suffix for some reason.  Can anyone shed some light on this?  I am in a bit
of a bind to get the solution to this pronto as I must produce a number of
disks this month.  Is there another way to accomplish this compatibility
using Toast?  Please contact me directly with advice on this issue as I
need  a rapid reply if possible.  Thanks in advance to anyone with a
solution!!!! nfiertel@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca

 Regarding my inability to produce a universally readable CD with jpeg
images using Toast...problem solved!  I found that there were options in
Toast that I had missed as they are hidden under the data attribute which
does not have to be accessed in general usage of the software.  Within that
are options to select for MS_DOS only, Windows Joliet and Mac as well as
translations from one to another in terms of file naming.  One can also
choose as I did the option of all the file name extensions so that any and
all machines can access the files by seeing only the file naming convention
suitable to the OS in use.  This works well. Further to that I found that
using ISO 9660 so that the CD would be Windows compatible set up as the
default the open file format available with ISO.  This is a distinct
problem for older drives that will not read the open format.  This is the
case with many 2X speed readers.  There is another option in the ISO 9660
format which is not the default CD-XA but instead one should choose CD-ROM.
In this way one gets a closed and fully compatible CD for pretty much any
PeeCee as well as Mac machine so long as all the filename attributes are
also installed at the same time. I wish to thank the dozens of people who
tried to help me with all kinds of great advice and software options for
renaming and so forth.  Info-Mac really is a great resource of good
Internet Citizens.  One of the last idealistic place on earth....

        I have to follow this up and say that I got interested enough by

I have not regretted doing so; why Apple has abandoned this jewel is a
bizarre mystery.  Who knows...

Subject: [Q] how to set up a Headless Mac

What I really mean is how to have a mac run without a monitor?  I 
have a IIsi that I want to run IPNetRouter and Timbukto and a Quadra 
950 as a file server.  Don't need monitors for those purposes once 
you get them up & running.

I tried to bring up the IIsi w/o the monitor connected.  Nothing. 
So, I plugged the monitor in and rebooted.  The system came up in the 
black & white mode.  Hmmmm, says he, what's the trick?

Like Blanch, I depend upon the kindness of others.

Subject: Bad Apple experience

I've heard of similar experiences with "The Apple Store" from several
friends. The lesson here is if you buy Apple Products, don't buy them from
Apple. The usual sources - CompUSA, MacWarehouse, Mac Zone -  have proven
track records that are more reliable.

		<fontfamily><param>Geneva</param><bigger>I recently had an
appalling
		experience with Apple Computer that has shaken up my loyalty
and
		advocacy in that company. Friends will say I had always been
an Apple
		junkie. My 128K Mac and first issue of MacWorld magazine
have remained
		collectibles. And I've owned about every other model Apple
Computer has
		ever made including the IIe and IIGS.

		I placed an order online at the Apple Store for an iBook
laptop and
		AirPort after seeing it at MacExpo in 7/99. This was going
to be my 4th
		Apple laptop purchase only because the AirPort technology
was very
		cool.

		After a 3-month wait, the iBook arrived with no AirPort.
Strike One. 

		I had gotten an iBook with a screen that has a couple
defective screen
		pixels, one that is stuck on RED and a couple inches from
the center of
		the screen. Strike Two.

		After placing my third call to Apple Customer Service asking
for a
		return or replacement, they continued to say " SORRY", a LCD
screen
		such as mine with two bad pixels is within their guidelines
as being
		acceptable. They said, "we can't help you" and offered no
replacement
		and no customer satisfaction. Strike Three.

		As a digital-imaging specialist and consultant it hurts me
to say this
		company has turned it's back on a loyal customer and will be
losing
		another evangelist. 

		I hope this story gets to the higher-ups and they realize
this sort of
		thing is really damaging to Apple's market place and that
Customer
		Service should also really care about customer satisfaction.
Does Apple
		realize they are trading the cost of an iBook for many, many
lost
		future sales?  Or is it that they don't care any more.

		Beware of buying electronic products with LCD screens and
CCD sensors.
		Manufacturers are slacking off on quality control and using
units that
		are not 100% perfect.  Two of my Nikon digital cameras had
defective
		pixels and Nikon customer service replaced the components
under their
		warranty policy.

		BTW, don't ever order from the Apple Store. They have a NO
RETURNS -
		ALL SALES FINAL policy!

		Please forward this e-mail to the higher ups at Apple
Computer.

		Thank you

Subject: COPERNIC

Hi to everyone,
I have stopped using Sherlock because it was too long to specify the setups
everytime. Copernic Plus is great and there are new 2000 versions
available. Microsoft have an eye on the product or already bought it. Louis

Dear Copernic User,

Subject: DarkSide screen saver for the Mac

I noted your list posting about "After Dark no longer?" I would suggest you
look into "Darkside of the Mac" screensaver shareware.

To quote from the manual: "DarkSide is a Macintosh application, and as such
should be easy to use without documentation.  It also contains full balloon
help.  However, complete documentation is available via the web at
<http://www.poubelle.com/>.  In addition, this web site always contains the
latest version of DarkSide, a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ)
about DarkSide, and other useful information."

DarkSide will run After Dark screen savers.

I don't know about OS9, but it has worked fine for all my system variations
through OS 8.6 on a beige G3.

Bill

From: Tony Curtis <catweazle@primus.com.au>
Subject: IDE Hard Drives in beige G3

I would like to add a second HD to my G3/233 beige desktop (thinking of a
Quantum KA 13.6GB, 7200rpm) and the material around is confusing.

I appear to have a 'Rev B' machine which is capable of supporting more than
one IDE HD.(Beige G3/233 desktop with WD 4GB HD and PCI slot $F1
ATY,mach64_3DUPro video capability). There is no Zipdrive in the machine
and I believe these Zips are ATAPI coming off ATA1 Bus as does the CDROM.

The G3 workshop manual is also no help. It says the G3 has a SCSI CDROM
(whereas System Profiler tells me that Internal ATA0 ID=0 has the WD 4GB
and ATA1 ID=0 has the CDROM!)

There is a 'spare' 40pin 'IDE'-type cable which exits the mother board next
to the existing HD exit cable.There is also a 4-pin 'HD-like' power lead
ready for 'something'. Guess the mounting for another HD is above the Zip
bay since there are 'rails' there to accept a 'sled'.

I have seen info which indicates 'master-slave' etc but this is (I thought)
for HDs which are connected to the same IDE cable (?) If there are 2 HD
controllers on the mother board and this 'extra' cable is for a second HD
then should it be jumpered as 'Master' also?

The question is are these cables for a Zip or for a second HD? Has anybody
fitted a second IDE HD? If so how? Would a 7200rpm HD overload the psu?

Subject: PB infrared and system clock changes after upgrading to system9

Since upgrading to system 9 I have been unable to sync with my 
palmIIx using the infrared port.  I have a PBG3/333 bronze keyboard 
with 192MB main memory.  When I try to launch the infrared control 
panel I get the message "The infrared control panel cannot run on 
this machintosh because no infrared hardware was discovered."  Is 
this a hardware or software problem.

The other strange thing is that on wake up from sleep or start up my 
system clock leaps ahead 1 hour and sometime 2 hours.  I have it set 
to PST (cuppertino) and set to update with a Time server when the 
clocks are different.  Toggling the automatic daylight savings time 
setting makes no difference.

Subject: VirtualPC-Windows95 or 98?

In Info-Mac Digest V16 #362, Marian C. Poczobutt asked:

>Does 98 run slower than 95, and are there any other costs or benefits?

I recently installed Virtual PC 3.0 on my G3 Powerbook but I have never
used an earlier verion so I can't make comparisons.

Another question was:

>Does VirtualPC recognize the serial ports on this adaptor, and if so does
>it need the USB
>support on the Windows side?

The reason I bought Virtual PC was that I wanted to run some trip planing
software with integrated GPS capability. I contacted Connectix tech support
to find out whether the PC software would be able to see the GPS receiver
and they said it would not. On the other hand, when I posed a question to
the same effect on an Motorhome forum, I got a reply from someone who said
he was using a GPS receiver which plugged in as a PCM-CIA card and the PC
software, running under Virtual PC on a Mac, could read it. I ended up
doing without GPS on a trial basis, figuring I would add it if I found I
really needed it. A recent 10,000 mile two month trip showed me that I
didn't really need it as much as I thought I would.

Here's what I hear from a friend at Connectix:

If you add a USB->serial adapter to your system and install the 
included software which registers the "virtual serial port" with the 
Communications Resource Manager (CRMSerialDevices.h), it will show up 
in Virtual PC's preferences dialog and will be available for COM port 
emulation.

So, yes, any Mac-compatible USB to serial adapter with the 
appropriate drivers should do the trick.

Gary,

I asked this question of Adam Engst a while back.  He replied, "... 
subscribe to the Eudora-Mac mailing list (linked on 
<http://www.tidbits.com/eudora/>) and ask there ..."  There, without 
having to ask, I found a thread that led to a clear answer.  This is 
a very useful Eudora site, giving me a real education in just the few 
days I have monitored it.  If you sign up, switch immediately to 
e-mails in digest form (appears to be twice daily), or you will be 
buried.

And the answer to this problem is:

In the menu - Special/Settings/Hosts - Deselect the "Use 
mail-exchange records ..." options.

The result is the SMTP server responds almost immediately.  My delay 
was timed at 67 seconds before it found the SMTP host, and then about 
11 seconds to send.  Now the send is complete in about 15 seconds.

I don't have Eudora Light, but do use Eudora Pro. In my settings 
(under Special menu) there is a category called "Threading" where you 
can choose a delay before sending.  You might look at the settings 
relating to threading and see if that makes a difference.

In Eudora Light 3.1.3, under Hosts, there is a check box labelled 'Use
mail-exchange records (SMTP servers only)'. If that check box is
checked, Eudora will deliver the mail directly to the SMTP server that
the MX records indicate, with the delay you are experiencing.

Cheers,

Darrell
