Subject: (Q) How to run 68K software on a powermac?
I have an older program that I need to run. It was written for 68K Macs,
and will work only using 16K addressing (breaks otherwise). Now, I only
have powermacs and a G4 to work with. Is there a way to run older software
like this on newer machines (system 8-9) -- an emulator for OS's using 16K
addressing, perhaps?

Subject: [*] Startup Doubler 2.6J For Faster Start-Ups! - Japanese Version
This is the Japanese version of the Startup Doubler package.
Startup Doubler: for faster startups!
Startup Doubler makes for quicker startups: Its software acceleration
compensates for sub-optimal disk performance to make extensions, control
panel, the Finder and startup applications load faster.
Save time each time you startup your Mac!
Those seconds spent waiting really add up: Startup Doubler is the fastest
and easiest way to cut down the wait. Expect older Macs to startup 20% to
50% faster! The latest G3 and G4 Macs get less dramatic improvements as
they're already pretty fast, but if you have lots of Extensions, Control
Panels and Startup Items you can usually save 10 to 20 seconds at each
startup!
Version 2.6 adds support for Mac OS 9.1 and fixes a bug in the Installer
that would sometimes prevent installation, in addition to a few other
changes.
Startup Doubler runs on Mac OS 9.1 and previous versions (going back to
System 7.0), and supports multiple extension sets. It is shareware, so
you can try it for free then buy only if you like it. Registered users of
previous versions may upgrade for free.

The Tao Te Ching is Lao Tzu's classic text of ancient Chinese

each time the application is opened, making it a nice addition to the
Startup Items folder. The chapters can be saved as text files, and
printed from the "File" menu. Also from the "File" menu, you can install
an alias of Tao Te Ching into your Startup Items folder, so you can read
a new chapter each time your Macintosh starts up.
Tao Te Ching is freeware.

check my memory usage in About this Computer I can see that Explorer
isn't even using half of the memory I've allotted to it. When it first

Subject: Internet config. and boot up cd
Hello>
Two questions please:
1./ Is it necessary to keep Internet configure if one is running Mac OS9?
Does Internet set-up do the same thing as Internet configure?
2./ I read recently that it is hard to make a boot up CD. I don't understand
why that is so. I would have thought that if one burnt a working system
folder onto a CD then it would be bootable. Why wouldn't it? And if it is
not bootable then does this mean that it is not possible to make duplicate
back-ups of programmes that come on CDs?
Thanks,

Subject: MS Word for Mac attachments
Up until about a month ago, I was able to send Word 98 for Mac
attachments to friends using MS Word 98 or better without using a
translator such as MacLink Plus.
Now, I am getting notices that my attachments cannot be opened by the receiver.
any clues?
Thank you.

PS: most of these attachments are sent via my hotmail account.

I received very useful replies from Scott Horton, Chaz Larson, Rich
(Misko), Robert Sekuler, Saint John, Dan Yoakam, abrody, Carolyn
Barry and Lou Boncek. Thanks, guys!
Nobody reported any hardware problems with any card. The ones most
mentioned/recommended were from MacAlly, XLR8, Belkin, ADS
Technologies, and Keyspan ("the official Apple PCI card" ?!). ADS,
XLR8 and Keyspan (all with two USB ports) seem cheapest ($25-$35,
shipping excluded). The somewhat more expensive ($50) Belkin
F5U006-UNV 4-port card (with a full 12 Mbps per port) received
strong recommendations. I ended up buying a SIIG US2216 5-port card
(not mentioned by anyone!) for $40 at CompUSA. One port is internal,
though. So far, the hardware has not given me any problems.
The software was quite another story. I downloaded and installed "USB
Card Support 1.4.1" from Apple. After restarting, my machine hung
while loading extensions. I restarted with extensions off, but the
machine hung almost immediately upon restart. I installed OS 8.5
clean, updated to 8.6, then made a dangerous leap of faith and moved
the freshly installed 8.6 Finder, System and System Resources into
the old 8.6 system folder (which, apart from the above 3 files, I had
kept). Everything has worked fine ever since. My experience is
parallelled by abrody's, who had similar problems with OS 9.0, OS
9.0.4 and Cardbus USB drivers. Is this a common theme?
I received only one response about CompactFlash card readers: that
person had bought an Antec PhotoChute 3 USB, which stopped working
soon after purchase. I bought a SanDisk ImageMate for CompactFlash
and CompactFlash Type II cards ($30 at CompUSA), which has worked
fine for me so far.
Ciao,
Pieter
