Subject: 5400/200 RAM Question
I have a 5400/200 PowerMac. It came with 8 meg of RAM on the MB and a 16
meg DIMM in Dimm Slot #1 (24 meg total). I wanted to upgrade to OS 8.6,
so I recently bought a 64 meg DIMM, thinking I would put it in Slot #2,
thus having 88 meg of RAM: 8 on the MB, 16 in slot #1 and 64 in Slot #2.
Unfortunately, when I put the new DIMM in Slot #2 I rebooted and the
About This Macintosh window showed I only had 56 meg of physical memory.
I tried switching the DIMMs, putting the 64 in Slot #1 and the 16 in
Slot #2, but it still shows only 56 meg of physical RAM.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to reconfigure something on the MB (a
jumper or something) or in the OS (I did get 8.6 installed successfully
with the increased memory available)? The arithmetic shows that it is
only recognizing 64 minus 8, leaving 56. I think the new DIMM is
correct, as it has 64 meg clearly printed on it. Maybe there's a limit
if the two dimms are not the same size?
If anyone knows about this problem, or has any suggestions I'd
appreciate hearing from you, either through the digest or directly. I've
checked apple-specs and apple-history, but neither of them tells of a
unique problem with installing expanded RAM in this model.
Thanks,
Sam M. Hunter

______________________________________
7th Guest PPC Patch
Written April 16, 1995 by John Stephen
______________________________________
______________________________________
Disclaimer
______________________________________
This is an UNOFFICIAL patch for The 7th Guest . I am not an employee of
Virgin Games nor do
they have any idea that I have created this patch. This application has not
been tested
extensively and may have bugs or cause problems with The 7th Guest .
However, given that
The 7th Guest already has serious problems with Power Macintoshes, and
given that I havent
experienced any problems myself while playing a patched version of the game
on my Power
Macintosh, I dont believe there is any serious risk with using this
software.
______________________________________
What it does
______________________________________
This application fixes a Power Macintosh incompatibility with Virgin Games
The 7th Guest .
This fixes a random crashing problem which occurs while playing the game on
Power Macintosh
computers (ie - PowerMac 6100, 7100, or 8100). This crash is caused by a
bug in the part of the
games code which controls the mouse/cursor in the game and that bug is fixed
by this patch.
______________________________________
How to use it
______________________________________
You must have already installed The 7th Guest on your Macintosh before you
can use this
application to patch your game. This application can only patch the copy of
The 7th Guest
which is installed on your hard drive -- it can not patch the copy on the
CD-ROM (CD-ROMs cant
be modified).
Before using this application, make sure that any virus protection software
that you are running

Haxial DiskCatalog is a utility for cataloging CDs, hard disks, folders,
and any other type of disk. It allows you to browse the contents of
disks without having to find them and insert them into your computer.
More importantly, you can search all of your disks at once (again without
having them in the computer), and DiskCatalog will display a list of all
the files found, and their location. When you're looking for a file and
you don't know where it is, this is much easier than manually searching
all your disks. DiskCatalog is designed to be very fast -- search
results usually appear instantly.
DiskCatalog is available for:
MacOS 9 or better (with CarbonLib 1.3.1+).
MacOS X (10).
Windows 95 or better.

Hi All,
Anyone know of a way to be able to watch DVDs with the Apple DVD
Player without the restrictions of only being able to switch between

Genie which resets the number).
The other option, as I understand it, is to have 2 different programs

that is a solution, can anyone recommend a good second DVD player
other than Apple's?

I mispoke in the last issue, What I have is Afga Slidewriter with

an old Afga Slidewriter off an old mac until the Harddisk crashed
for good. I went to the original disks and manual, but the the disks
were toasted by placing them on a speaker in storage. I tried fixing
the disks but no avail and even tried canopener to see if I could
recognize files, but the disks are all just garbage. I have been
able to replace the application, but I still need the system files,
specifically the film LUT tables and any other files that would be in
the system file. Afga is of no help, since they no longer support
film recorders, and the place they refer me to wants big bucks for a
postscript rip. I dont need to image postscript files, just plain
bitmap Picts. Can anyone out there help me and my art students? I
can prove I have the original disks, so there is no copyright issue
being violated, Afga has just washed their hands of the whole
business.

Subject: pc card problem
I have a PB 1400 that recently developed a problem. It refuses to link to
any other computers or the router on my Ethernet network. I bought a new
PCMCIA ethernet card (Asante10mb card) and that doesn't work either. The
original card was a Dayna Communicard plus. The computer recognizes the card
when its software is loaded, the link light lights, and the data light
flashes, but no other computers show up nor can the PowerBook be seen by
any other computer.
The PowerBook has system 8.6, and 32 megs of ram, the other computers have
sys 8.6, 9.04 and 9.2. Any clues or suggestions? I've tried the usual fixes,
clean install, Norton disk utilities, techtool pro, disk first aid, etc. all
show no problem. I tried the cards in another 1400, also no good.
TIA

Subject: Software Update Crashes
I'm using a PowerPC 9600/MacOS 9.1 and and a G4 Cube/MacOS 9.2. Every time
I use Software Update on both these computers, the first file is downloaded
then installed and then the Software Update hangs/crashes the computer which
has to be hard-reset. Does this even with clean System installs. Can
anyone explain what the problem is?
