I used OnTrack to expand my old 486SX BBS system to its first (WD) 720MB
hard drive. Worked like a champ! Prior to that, I'd had 2 drives -- a
Maxtor @ 120MB, and a Seagate 340MB. Both fell inside the design specs.
Adding the 720MB drive on IDE2 (didn't even have a CD then...) was a pain
before discovering OnTrack.
Cheers!

Some BIOSen will only address 1024 cylinders, even if they "see" more.
OnTrack, Drive Rocket, EZDrive, any of the drive overlay programs will
get around that.

A couple of weeks ago, I picked up an Apple LC II with a IIe card in it.
Amazingly, this came with the original Apple multimedia package, including
speakers, a CD-ROM drive, the Apple II floppy drive, complete with Y cable,
and an external hard drive.
Does anyone know if this IIe card is faster than the original IIe? It
looks like a fun toy to play with. :-)
On a related note (hopefully not too far OT), does anyone have a Mac
OS 8.5 system/install CD, that will work with a non-G3 PowerPC
(e.g. 7200/90), that they can clone for me? I'm willing to send some
new blank CDs or a floppy copy of the software for the II/e board,
etc. in exchange.
One more question for the Apple gurus on this list: will a monitor
used with an LC work with a IIgs?

Hi,
so I sorted through my last weekend's bait, hooked up my new HSZ40
(with 50 GB in 4 StorageWorks boxes plus all sorts of tape drives,
TSZ07, TLZ07, TZ68, and ~88) to my PC for FreeBSD. It's so much
fun to read a 9-track reel from a FreeBSD PC (just too bad it doesn't
have a transparent top cover to show off the reels).
I have bulk-erased a bunch of TK50 tapes in the hopes that they
would work as DLT III and IV tapes as well, but these drives
still went into write-protect mode. Does anyone here know details
about the DLT media? I mean it is a well-known fact (and I proved
it to myself many times) that CompacTape I works just fine as
CompacTape II. So why not as III and IV? Is it really the tape
or might it be some notches on the cassette that are used to
code the kind of tape?
The problem is I didn't get any tape media for my nice DLT tape drives
and this stuff is so darn expensive if bought new. Any ideas?
regards,

Just trying to the question about the different types of Kaypros.
This is a list of machines KayPro made.
Kaypro II
Kaypro 10
Kaypro IV
Kaypro 4
Kaypro 2
Kaypro 2X
Kaypro Robie
Kaypro 4X
Kaypro 12X
Kaypro 1
Kaypro 16
Kaypro PC
Kaypro 2000 (laptop)
I believe this covers all of the computers they made. I am guessing the
person on the message section is trying to put together a collection of
different KayPros

Just got one of these . . . if DEC fans want it you've got it for shipping.
Looks like AUI and 10 base 2 outputs, barcode sticker has a number:
70-26691-01. FCC ID: A09DE100.
Operators are standing by . . .

The Microchannel Vid/Aud capture board thingy that I earlier advertised
has been snarfed up like a raw chicken in a piranha pond.

Hi,
I keep finding a lot of boards made by SMS and I'm wondering if they're worth picking up. A lot of them seem to be out of DEC systems and/or 8" floppy drive controllers that are used with DEC stuff. I usually leave them behind but I picked up one yesterday for parts. this one is a Q-bus card and has an AM2901ADC bit slice CPU, an Intel 8085, an intel 8155 and an Intel 8253. It says that it's model # FWD 0106, Assy # 000420-0001, Fab # 0004222 Rev C.
Any thoughts on this?
Joe

I can't say for sure, but I don't think it is.

Send me your address (offlist) and I'm sure you'll get something in the
mail in a few days :-)

According to Apple... No. They specify that the IIgs RGB monitor is not
compatible with the RGB in the Mac, so I infer that to mean the opposite
to be true as well. I think the reason for it is the IIgs uses Analog
RGB, while the Mac I believe uses Digital RGB.
However, if your monitor happens to support Analog RGB, then you should
be ok.
There is of course a composite video port on the IIgs so you can connect
to anything that supports composite video (TV or Apple II series monitor,
or whatever).
