Hi there.... Recently, I just got an old Mac IIci, which has 40M HDD & 8M RAM. After all, I added the RAM to 32M, and also want to change the stupid 40M SCSI HDD to a larger one.... But the problem is, I just can't find a diskette version of Mac OS 7.5.x for it... What can I do...?? If anyone has the old Mac OS, would you all pls make a copy for me?? I will pay the shipping and diskette cost..... (Coz, I don't think if I can get a new copy from APPLE.. :( ) Yours, Ken Yaksa

It would be nifty to have a web page with a list of Computer Rescue Squad volunteers paired with their geographical coordinates, with even perhaps a link to any one of the map-servers out there. - John

Curious George Goes to Micro Center

by maxeskin＠hotmail.com

An anecodote: Today, two teachers from my school went to Micro Center to get some stuff fixed, and took me with them. This was the first time I have ever been in a tech service room. There was one tech, a woman in her 40's, multitasking. She was only able to fix our printer, which wouldn't formfeed due to a gob of glue. She "solved" the other two problems with updates from Apple's site. Anyway, while she was busy with us, a guy walked in with a Mac Plus mouse. She told him that the only thing that could be done is to order a new one, if they're still in stock. One the bright side, she didn't sell him a DB-9 Intellimouse but I think the only reason a mouse should be replace is if the case is smashed or it just sucks (Zenix?). How do you expect classics to survive in active use if they're thrown away without an attemp at fixing them? By the way, what's the difference between DB and DE connectors? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

CP/M

by allisonp＠world.std.com

<I wonder if implemented if it would be necessary to let the read <electronics know which sensor it was reading to compensate for the <rotation positional difference. Or whether when reading the flippy <side it would simply wait longer to read the sector header. < < - don No, the relative position is the same as the index hole occurs and you start formatting there. What that means is sector 1 is displaced about 1/3 of a turn from the "normal" unflipped position. Allison
