Multiple utilities view disk fragmentation and other hard drive issues from different points of view. What may be a bad btree to one utility may be a perfectly solid directory structure. Your mileage may vary, but if you are going to use utilities such as Norton, Techtools, and Disk Warrior, use only one utility. Otherwise you may end up having a hard drive "fixed" by one utility only to make another utility view the drive as unreadable. The end result eventually you may end up with a totally unreadable drive without a reformat and sometimes reinitialization. Which means you end up having to recover the ENTIRE backup. So if you have never used a utility before, get one, and only get the latest copy of that one if you have a current OS. If you have an older OS find which utility worked best with it. For instance Norton 3, and 4 really didn't like MacOS 8.1. In anycase, backup your data before running any utility. This is vital!

At that time I did this I had 9.0.4 installed. I'd tried removing the original 32 MB chip (it also has a 80 MHtz 128 MB half-size chip underneath) and upgrading it to a fast (100 Mhtz) 128 MB chip and it starts to crash and refuse to start up after a few trials. Pull the chip out and the problem goes away after reinstalling the system and so on. The problem is so severe that the hard disk develops unrepairable issues. Duplicable over and over again. Tried increasing ram to 192 with a 64 MB chip on top instead of the 32 MB chip and it was fine. I also tried a full size slower (80 Mhtz) 128 MB chip on top (instead of the 32MB) and there were fewer problems than with the 128 MB faster chip. In other words, the system seemed to start to fail more and more often but it took longer with the slower (80 Mhtz) chip. With a 100 Mhtz chip the severe crashing and corruption problems happened really fast. We tried the fast chip in other Wall Streets (next revision) and Lombards and there was no problem at all. Even tried Apple's testing CD and failed to locate problems. So it didn't seem to be a chip problem. Returned the chip to MCE and they couldn't find a problem with it either. Any suggestions other than getting a newer machine? I desperately need more memory to run what I've got! Apple says it is only rated to 192 MB - or at least supported to that point. But the after market places insist that this is only on paper due to no half height 128 MB chips available when the machine first came out to test and certify it beyond 192 MB ram. Even the Apple dealer is surprised. ------------------------------ Date: 2 Feb 2001 From: Richard Drysdall To: Subject: [*] ACE! 1.8 - an extensable save game editor ACE! allows you to edit the 'save game' documents created by many commercial and shareware games (these documents are referred to as 'characters' by some games).

A complete run through a typical configuration takes less than five minutes. The importance of something like AutoCheck, placed in the Mac's Startup Items folder, is that most users run Disk First Aid or a similar utility only when experiencing problems. But a lot of disk damage is incremental, and early detection and repair can be crucial to safeguarding data. By itself, Disk First Aid takes several steps to run. AutoCheck automates the entire process, stopping and posting a dialog only if a disk error is found. Otherwise, it quits Disk First Aid and itself and is out of your way by the time you've gotten a cup of coffee, and your Mac has a clean bill of health. New in this version: Nearly every parameter is user-adjustable, for maximum flexibility and speed. If the Caps Lock key is engaged when AutoCheck starts, it quits without checking anything (useful if you have it in your Startup Items folder, but want a quicker startup this time). You can set the number of times AutoCheck tries to check a busy disk, the starting interval to wait between checks of a busy disk, and the time to pause after launching before starting the whole check. The pause can be bypassed on any occasion with the Shift key. Source code is commented.

You didn't describe the connectors that the monitor wants, but a good cable supply store should be able to suss it out. Mine had three BNC connectors (they look like little pipes with pegs on the sides), for which I used a cable costing around $20 and a Mac-to-SVGA adapter.

I have just installed MacOS 9.1, as an upgrade from 9.0.4. Contextual Menus no longer work as before, except in the Finder. That is, if one does a control-click, a popup menu no longer occurs. The only exception is that this still works in the Finder. Internet Addresses appear to be a special case. Previously, one selected the text containing an Internet Address, and then did control-mouseclick to bring up a menu of things to do with the address (e.g., Open in Netscape Communicator, Bookmark in Netscape Communicator). When I do this after the upgrade, nothing happens. However, if I select an Internet Address and do command-mouseclick, then the right thing happens. For example, if it's an http URL, Netscape Communicator opens to that address, and if it's a mailto URL, Netscape Messenger opens to send mail to that address.

Has anyone figured out how to install the OS9.1 update on a 6100/60? Apple claims that it can only be done from the 9.1 CD. Surely someone has figured out how to get around that, no? TIA.

I've tried the following more or less in the following order: - rebuilding the desktop - using Conflict Catcher to rebuild the desktop - using Disk Warrior to rebuild the desktop - trashing Finder Preferences and rebuilding the desktop - reinstalling the System 9.0.4 All without success. However, I have made the discovery that when I boot from the System 9 CD, the computer desktop shows all the icons on the hard disk in their default state. It is only when I revert to booting off the hard disk that the problem appears. OK, tomorrow I shall try Norton. Unfortunately, I don't have TechTools and I can't find a download site for purchasing the software. Living as I do in Ireland, it would take a week for the software to reach me from the States. I wonder if the Tektronic people know anything. They manufacture the Phaser 850DP printer. As it happens, although it has been put on the network I don't actually use it; I use the regular LaserWriter workhorse instead. Keep the ideas and suggestions rolling in!
