 If you buy one of the older version, check to see if the cache board
 is attached and included.  Often it is, and often the seller has no
 idea what the piggybacking board is doing on the back of the thing.

 The older version with the cache board attached will be two boards
 sandwiched together pretty closely when viewed from above.


I have the older Turbo 040 (33Mhz no cache add-on), how rare are 
the cache boards for these currently?


Pretty much hens teeth.  I've never seen one that wasn't already 
attached to a Turbo040 card.  Daystar sold them as a separate add-on 
as well as including them with Turbo040s so it's always possible some 
will turn up somewhere still in the box.


I believe the problem is that folks don't have any idea what they 
are.  It's pretty specialized knowledge.  So if someone runs across 
one in a box or something, they're not very likely to resell the 
thing, because they don't recognize it.  I suspect we've lost many of 
the Turbo040 and PowerCaches to the same problem.  You get an old 
machine, there's a card in it, you don't know what any of it is, and 
it all goes to the recycler.


There was an even less well known Daystar upgrade called the 
Value040.  This plugged into an LC style PDS slot.  It also uses the 
same cache board.   However, I have a regular search on Daystar 
stored on Ebay, and I'm the only person I've ever seen sell a 
Value040, so they're not all that common either.


Your best bet is probably just to buy another Turbo040 with the cache 
board attached already.


Ebay has this new feature called Want-It-Now.  You could try posting 
one of those.  Also, you might try posting a WTB (want-to-buy) 
message in the comp.sys.mac.wanted news group and if you have 
something similar to austin.forsale (except for whatever city  you're 
in) you could try that as well.  And there's the LEM swap-list as 
well.  Of course it would help if you had a JPEG of the board.


Here's an image of the Value040 with the cache board attached.  The 
cache is on the righthand side of the image 
http://www.io.com/~trag/Value040_cache.jpg


Here's an image of the back of a Turbo040 with the cache board 
attached:  http://www.io.com/~trag/Turbo040_back.jpg


Unfortunately, neither image shows the connector side of the cache board.

 Flowed wraps lines to about 72 characters and makes each line end into a space
 and a return. Cooperating readers sense the space and unwrap to flow to window
 width. Other readers just don't see the spaces.
 
 Quoted Printable changes such spaces to =20.
 
 Now, when a digest has to mix varieties of messages there are problems with
 religious compliance with the RFC's. The whole digest has to use the same
 conventions.

Yeah, what Doug said, and in addition, 20H (hex) is the number for the space
character.

Do you want a Mac IIsi?

2005-12-11 Thread Steve C. Thompson
Hi,

I have a Mac IIsi that I'd like to give away.  I'm in San Diego.
If you are in the area and want the machine please contact me,
Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED].  If you have any suggestion of where I can
get rid of this machine (I don't know if the Goodwill will take
it, for example) please let me know.

Thanks,
Steve

something extra?

2005-12-11 Thread John de Boer

Hello folks

If there should be a Vintage Mac Expert passing through wonderul Armidale
during the next month or so, there is a couple of days (or more) of work I
can offer.  Email me for details [EMAIL PROTECTED]

While you're here I can show you some spectacular local sights, including -
if you're that way inclined - spectacular MTB trails in the hugely majestic
national parks around here. Not so far away is a 3km down hill track, not
too steep - down which you can glide without having to push a pedal once
(until you get to the bottom anyway).

Accommodation and bike available.

(Some work can be done from wherever you are, including provision of advice
(in particular in relation to terminating hdd's, networking and optimum OS
configuration for Vintage macs).

Cheers  -  John

SE/30 as webserver

2005-12-11 Thread Manuel Marques
Hi everyone!

I'm trying to put up my old working SE/30 as a web server. It currently runs
System 7.5.1, has 8 Megs of RAM and a Farallon LAN card, connected to the
PDS slot. I'm planning to connect it to my home network via a cable
connected to my router/switch, and run MacHTTP in there.

But there are still some questions:

- Is there any FTP server program that I can use in order to pass my
web pages and such via FTP from my PC to the SE/30? Let's say, I would write
ftp 10.0.0.7 on the DOS prompt and it would connect to my SE/30 and pass the
files;
- My ISP has a dynamic IP. I've heard of No-IP, and DNS services,
but how can I get the best one, free? I would like some explanations about
this services, I don't know how they work;
- Finally, what ports should I free in order that my users can
access the SE/30? Only port 80? More?

Thanks in advance,


Manuel Marques
