Stacey Roof didst proclaim:

BTW Sonnet now offers an upgrad path for 7200s
Rob,
Found them-thanks. wish I would have known about this $500 upgrade before
buying the new iMac. I've been waiting for these for two years. Ouch.
Stacey - don't feel too bad. I had a 7200/75. To upgrade, I bought a used
7600/132 from PowerMax for about $350, and then bought a "clearance" 375MHz
G3 card from Sonnet for about $150. It still cost around $500, but it was
still a better deal than the Sonnet 7200 upgrade because the 7600 is a
better base unit than the 7200. Meaning now I have 8 RAM slots, A/V
input/output, and I get to keep all three PCI slots, because the 7600
processor is on a daughtercard in its own slot.

Maintenance manuals

Andrew Rodger
 

A while ago, if you were clever/lucky, you could get Apple maintenance
manuals in pdf format (not handbooks) by downloading them from the APPLE
Europe ftp site. I got a couple (for old kit) which have proved invaluable.
However, with the passage of time I find the need for a couple more but the
old ftp address has come up with a blank. Obviously Apple are not
interested in giving folk easy access to these things because they are
meant for the official repair chaps but, for those of us who know how to
use a soldering iron and how not to die from intimate struggles with a CRT,
it seems a little Blairish to take them away. Does anyone know if they
have been moved and, if so, where to?

Thanks

Drew

At 11:11 PM -0500 on 12/16/00, I heard from Daniel Gagner, saying:
Unsticking that hard drive in the SE sounds strange but he's exactly right.
I had an SE in the late 80's early 90's. I'd have to turn my SE upside down
sometimes during startup to get it to work. A lot of early 40-80 mb Quantum
drives had this problem.
When you do this, do you leave it upside down or turn it back over? I have a 2 gig drive that got hot and I think the heads stuck to the platter. I haven't messed with it much - need to get something to transfer to before I start it up! I thought you couldn't move the drives while they are on - or am I mistaken?

Go to the eGroups web site and change your subscription settings from
receiving HTML messages to receiving plain text messages. When you do you'll
still get ads, but they'll be text ads instead of the banners you don't
appreciate.

Jon Bonner
The LIST needs to be made non-HTML before the pieces will go away. I have mine set to no HTML - and still get the pictures. The LIST needs to be set to accept NO ATTACHMENTS - this will turn all the picture ads into simple typewritten ads as below:


While it is annoying, it is MUCh better than the flashing picture and then all those items get stuck in my Eudora mail and I have to delete them manually eventually!

IMHO this upgrade is not worth it, unless you have a significant investment

Addendum to my personal upgrade path: by buying a used 7600 and upgrading
the processor, I was able to move all of my RAM, my hard drives, my video
card, and all of my peripherals from my 7200 to the 7600. Took less than
30
minutes :-)
And further to this, I found this site a couple of days ago - selling a
chassis of the 7500 that can be upgraded with a G3 processor for not much
over $150 (and upwards) and still take the RAM, drives etc from a 7200...

What mail client do you use? Most have the ability to burst digests; you
should not need an external utility. Also, there are several differing
digest formats. Egroups uses one peculiar to Egroups and OneList, so you
need a program that understands its format to burst it.

I am using Eudora Pro 4.2 and would love to know how to burst the new egroup digest into separate messages.

Re: New Entourage Question...

James A.Rodriguez said:

I've been using Entourage as my main mail client for about a month and
have found it almost entirely enjoyable.

One problem: in Outlook Express, when you delete a message from the
Inbox, it goes to the next unread message (next one down if you have it
arranged by Sent date). In Entourage, deleting a message takes me to the
next message above the deleted message, which is usually one I've
already read and decided to keep for awhile. I then have to select the
next unread message manually to delete or keep it (in OE I could just
press delete several times to get rid of all the unwanted messages going
down the list).

Is there any way to change this behavior to the more reasonable OE
behavior? I've searched through the preferences with no luck. Any help
would be much appreciated...
__________ End of quote __________


OK, I propose that you try a behavior on your side :)

Use the mouse to click on the down arrow in the toolbar of the message that
you are reading. Click and hold, then select Next Message and Delete or
Previous Message and Delete.

I know that it is annoying to learn something new since it doesn't work like
Outlook Express, but I've been doing it for a while now and I got used to
it.

This concern has been expressed by many other group members already,
and I'd like to echo it as well. I have a feeling that many of the
replies are not getting to the whole list b/c the address has to be
manually added to the "reply". (I suppose from Eudora, I could
configure a filter to do this.)
Anyway, I have a feeling that I've missed the answers to many of the
questions that would have loved hear....That's my two-cents!

Re: 7200/90 Power PC

 

Thanks to everyone for the everymac.com site. I'll check it out. I already have gone to E-bay and typed in my model, but came up dry. I'm sure it was user error-I'll try again.

As for your iMacs, you could be running into two problems. The first is
that there were several changes made with Mac OS 9 that made older versions
of certain software incompatible with it. One of the mail culprits is Adobe
Type Manager. If you have a version of ATM prior to version 4.5.2 it will
Mine is 4.0.2. That must have been part of it--although after I trashed the ATM control panel, my instability issues continued.

The second problem you could be running into, is that recently, Apple has
started making their system CD's machine specific. In other words, the disk
is designed to work only with the type of machine it came with. Usually,
this will mean that when you try to install something from a disk that came
with another machine, you will not be allowed to because the firmware is
not the correct type.
I figured it was something like that, however it did allow the installation (It would not on our Wallstreet PowerBook). Is there any way to do a custom install that would avoid installing all the cd-rom/DVD specific extensions, etc. from the OS 9 and then just re-install (or keep) the ones from my 8.6 specific to this machine?

Also, if anyone out there has any opinions on ConflictCatcher 8.0 and its compatibility with other software I'd love to hear them. (I have PhotoShop 5.5, Illustrator 8.0, Dreamweaver 3.0, Filemaker Pro 3, to name a few) I bought it because MacWorld gave it 5 mice (sucker??) and I'm a fan of D. Pogue who wrote the manual (shoulda just joined the fan club), but it really has not been useful to me as most of my problems are intermittent. I suspect it may be the culprit at times.

Thanks again,
Stacey


Hi,

I'm looking to sell my old 7200/90 (you know, that odd,
non-upgradable model). Anyone know of a site that that can give me a
ball-park resale value? Or maybe some of you might know. It has 96 MB
RAM.
I read in a previous post there there was a site that did just this,
but did not get the URL.

Also, I have 2 iMacs: #1 is a 333/192 running OS 8.6, #2 is a 450/192
running OS 9.0.4. #2 has fire wire and DVD drive, while #1 does not.
I would like to upgrade #1 to 9.0.4 (via the CDs that came with #2)
but when I last tried the result was multiple crashes in every
application, including the finder on start-up. I gave up and did a
clean install of 8.6.

My question: Does this have anything to do with the DVD or Firewire
Extensions that are being installed? I wiped all those out and even
ran ConflictCatcher, but to no avail (CC's assessment was that Adobe
ATM was the culprit, but CC is another story)...Could this be an
Apple software piracy safeguard? Do I have to purchase a new copy of
> OS 9 to install on #1, rather than using the CD's that came with #2?
> Even though I personally own both computers (one personal, one for
> business) am I supposed to maintain separate software for each
one--ethically and otherwise?

I realize this is a mouthful--thanks in advance for input,
Stacey

So that idea probably isn't very practical. Since Mark receives the user

Re: Eudora de-dupe

 

Daly,
The BBEdit method would be fine for my personal address book, but I maintain a mailing list of 5,000 plus names and addresses (not to mention "groups" of names assigned to one nickname). Using a script to search out duplicates would be very helpful to me. Ideally, Eudora would add this function to their software-I've already submitted it to their "wish-list".
Thanks,
Stacey



>If you use Entourage and have
been wishing for some little enhancement, odds are someone has already
scripted it! For instance, I just finished a powerful script to locate
duplicate contacts in your Address Book called "Duplicates Report".
Wow! Does anyone know of any scripts available (free or otherwise)
that will do this in Eudora Pro? (Paid version, 4.3.3) I know I'm
probably dreaming...
There's probably a much better way, but I just experimented. I opened a copy of the Eudora address book using BBEdit to open it, sorted all the addresses, and then just reviewed them for duplicates. I didn't find any, but I did remove a few old addresses, save my work, and then moved the original address book to the desktop and replaced it with the edited version, then restarted Eudora. My changes had been incorporated. On the other hand, I don't actually see that that is any easier than just look at the address book itself, come to think of it!

What is the best way of sending a reply

Does it make any difference if I add this under TO: or if I put the

I noticed the same thing and wonder if Mr Luffman may have any control
over this. If I select Reply all instead of Reply I get the sender and
the list adress. I would proefer to most often reply just to the list.

Hi Virginia;

What application was it?
It is probably an extention which can be found and turned off in the
Extensions Mananger control panel. They usually include the word "menu" in
the name of the extension, but not always the name of the program at least
the way you would search for it.
And sometimes a control panel or program installed in extensions. CP
for PPP Menu I believe, Program for Palm Desktop are examples.
