Check your local used Mac store. They may have an old Syquest drive or the

Don:
It sounds like you're trying to use the PB in SCSI mode. That means
mounting the PB as an external drive on the Centris. The operation should
result in the PB not booting into the Mac OS but displaying a floating SCSI
symbol and then showing up on the Centris' desktop as a HD icon. There
should be a control panel on the PB to set what SCSI ID number you want to
assign it. You'll also need the appropriate SCSI cable.
This all depends on G3 PBs still being abe to run in SCSI mode. I haven't
done it since PB 100 or 500 series.
Maybe doing the LocalTalk connection and letting it copy over night would
be the easiest in the long run.

We have one iMac that when you select shutdown, it restarts immediately. We
have lots of iMacs that do stay shutdown, only this one seems to have a
strong enough will to live that it survives shutdown. When I set the Energy
Control Panel to shutdown after a period of inactivity, it restarts
immediately.
It has an ADB keyboard and ADB mouse with the ABD to USB adapter. We have a
similar setup on other iMacs and they do shutdown and stay shutdown.

Subject: HP DeskJet - MS Word conflict
The most recent generation of HP Deskjets print have a serious
conflict with MS Word 98 that is even documented in their ReadMe.
If there is Highlighting (i.e. yellow background) or Grey surrounding
text, the printer will simply print BLACK.
I find it impossible to read black text in a black background.
I receive documents daily with shading and/or highlighting that I
MUST print and I CANNOT edit every one.
I have turned to HP and to Microsoft so that my printer can work with
my word processor, but to no avail.
Does anyone out there know of a fix for this criminal incompatibility.
By the way, NONE of the slightly older HP Deskjet printers have this problem.

Subject: OS 9: IP File Sharing disabled
I have a static IP working (both for client and server
programs), and AppleTalk file sharing is fine, but the File Sharing
CP's "Enable File Sharing clients to connect via TCP/IP" checkbox is
greyed out.
Has anyone else seen this problem before? I've seen the
checkbox unavailable when IP networking wasn't active, but it is
(File Sharing correctly displays my IP address). My DNS is a bit
scrambled until I tell NSI about my new nameserver, but I wouldn't
expect this to disable File Sharing over IP.
Any suggestions? I'd much rather not reinstall the File
Sharing CP from CD-ROM, but that's the next step I can think of. DFA
says my disks are all fine. Not surprisingly, Mac OS help isn't, and
restarting makes no difference.
Thanks,

Subject: URLs of type 'afp://' (R)
I saw this rather late, but just in case you're still having the problem, I
can offer two thoughts:
>I said yes to file sharing, and have a directory called "pub"
>with sharing turned on. From home, I opened "Chooser", clicked
>on AppleShare, (Appletalk is on), and clicked on "Server IP address".
>I was invited to "Enter the Server Address", and typed this in

> afp://mathmac44.math.uwaterloo.ca
>
Whenever I got this to work, I only entered the address itself, without the
protocol part. In your case, this means:
mathmac44.math.uwaterloo.ca
I would think that the AppleShare client is smart enough to deal with both
formats... but you never know with these dang computers.
Another possibility is that your institution is running a firewall and
blocking AFP traffic. We're trying to keep our local technonazis from doing
the same to us, but it's really only a matter of time, I'm afraid.

Videoconferencing Software
Now that we both have fast Internet connections, I'm looking into
setting up videoconferencing with my brother - he's running Windows
with a DSL connection and I have a beige 300mhz Mac (with a USB card)
running System 8.6 with a Roadrunner cable connection.
The big question seems to be what software to use. It seems that the
choices available to both platforms are iVisit and CU-Seeme. Does
anyone have any comments or suggestions about these, particularly
about how they work cross-platform? I took a look at their websites
and it appears that iVisit sends a Black&White image (but the
information may refer to an earlier release) - are there any other
differences?
As far as hardware, we'll probably go with the Logitech Quickcams -
any comments on getting the Quickcam Pro or the Quickcam VC? There's
a review of the Pro in the Feb/2000 MacWorld, but the Logitech site
doesn't mention anything about Mac compatibility. I wouldn't mind
paying the extra bucks if it does offer a better picture.
Thanks in advance for any information.

Chuck:
Check your local used Mac store. They may have an old Syquest drive or the
like that you can swap out the drive mechanism on. I've done that. Works
like a charm. A 44Mb or 88Mb SQ drive shouldn't cost you much.

I've been using Netopia's Timbuktu Conferencing application for

Don:
It sounds like you're trying to use the PB in SCSI mode. That means
mounting the PB as an external drive on the Centris. The operation should
result in the PB not booting into the Mac OS but displaying a floating SCSI
symbol and then showing up on the Centris' desktop as a HD icon. There
should be a control panel on the PB to set what SCSI ID number you want to
assign it. You'll also need the appropriate SCSI cable.
This all depends on G3 PBs still being abe to run in SCSI mode. I haven't
done it since PB 100 or 500 series.
Maybe doing the LocalTalk connection and letting it copy over night would
be the easiest in the long run.

We have one iMac that when you select shutdown, it restarts immediately. We
have lots of iMacs that do stay shutdown, only this one seems to have a
strong enough will to live that it survives shutdown. When I set the Energy

immediately.
It has an ADB keyboard and ADB mouse with the ABD to USB adapter. We have a
similar setup on other iMacs and they do shutdown and stay shutdown.

Subject: HP DeskJet - MS Word conflict
The most recent generation of HP Deskjets print have a serious
conflict with MS Word 98 that is even documented in their ReadMe.
If there is Highlighting (i.e. yellow background) or Grey surrounding
text, the printer will simply print BLACK.
I find it impossible to read black text in a black background.
I receive documents daily with shading and/or highlighting that I
MUST print and I CANNOT edit every one.
I have turned to HP and to Microsoft so that my printer can work with
my word processor, but to no avail.
Does anyone out there know of a fix for this criminal incompatibility.
By the way, NONE of the slightly older HP Deskjet printers have this problem.
Thanks,

Subject: OS 9: IP File Sharing disabled
I have a static IP working (both for client and server
programs), and AppleTalk file sharing is fine, but the File Sharing
CP's "Enable File Sharing clients to connect via TCP/IP" checkbox is
greyed out.
Has anyone else seen this problem before? I've seen the
checkbox unavailable when IP networking wasn't active, but it is
(File Sharing correctly displays my IP address). My DNS is a bit
scrambled until I tell NSI about my new nameserver, but I wouldn't
expect this to disable File Sharing over IP.
Any suggestions? I'd much rather not reinstall the File
Sharing CP from CD-ROM, but that's the next step I can think of. DFA
says my disks are all fine. Not surprisingly, Mac OS help isn't, and
restarting makes no difference.
Thanks,

No shareware that I know of, I use MacDrive2000 at work on my NT box. It's

Subject: URLs of type 'afp://' (R)
I saw this rather late, but just in case you're still having the problem, I
can offer two thoughts:
>I said yes to file sharing, and have a directory called "pub"
>with sharing turned on. From home, I opened "Chooser", clicked
>on AppleShare, (Appletalk is on), and clicked on "Server IP address".
>I was invited to "Enter the Server Address", and typed this in

> afp://mathmac44.math.uwaterloo.ca
>
Whenever I got this to work, I only entered the address itself, without the
protocol part. In your case, this means:
mathmac44.math.uwaterloo.ca
I would think that the AppleShare client is smart enough to deal with both
formats... but you never know with these dang computers.
Another possibility is that your institution is running a firewall and
blocking AFP traffic. We're trying to keep our local technonazis from doing
the same to us, but it's really only a matter of time, I'm afraid.

Videoconferencing Software
Now that we both have fast Internet connections, I'm looking into
setting up videoconferencing with my brother - he's running Windows
with a DSL connection and I have a beige 300mhz Mac (with a USB card)
running System 8.6 with a Roadrunner cable connection.
The big question seems to be what software to use. It seems that the
choices available to both platforms are iVisit and CU-Seeme. Does
anyone have any comments or suggestions about these, particularly
about how they work cross-platform? I took a look at their websites
and it appears that iVisit sends a Black&White image (but the
information may refer to an earlier release) - are there any other
differences?
As far as hardware, we'll probably go with the Logitech Quickcams -
any comments on getting the Quickcam Pro or the Quickcam VC? There's
a review of the Pro in the Feb/2000 MacWorld, but the Logitech site
doesn't mention anything about Mac compatibility. I wouldn't mind
paying the extra bucks if it does offer a better picture.
Thanks in advance for any information.
