Hi, after being unsubscribed for a while, I have re-listed with a
question: I've got a Mac Classic or an SE to donate to the cause of
automating things in the house (i.e. turning on lights, etc) I've been
wondering if there's a way to program the serial port to run things such
as
It depends on how many items you want to control? If you only wanted to
control 1 simple on/off item like a lamp then some simple latch circuit
connected to the serial port could probably be made, of course you will
need some good isolation between your mac circuit and the AC side of
things,

Howdy. I will be spending a week in NYC a couple
weeks from now. Does anybody know of any cool used
mac stores to browse around? I looked online, but had
difficulty finding some (oddly enough).

My guess, and I haven't tried any if this on a Mac, would be to look at
the
handshake lines using a scope, and then try opening and closing the port
in
code on the Mac, this is what I have done on RS-232 before, and I would
expect a similar operation on the Mac.

Can an AppleCD 600e fry an SE/30 system board?
Only if the SCSI-related parts are very, very kaputt (sort of
short-circuited), but it takes a lot to fry a whole mobo via the SCSI port,
the risk is in the SCSI chip. Sounds more like you do have a hardware
problem, but not the bellyup kind, to

Very unlikely.
The system did not recognize the CD drive

There's someone on comp.sys.apple2.* by the name of Paul Santa Maria is

Hi all -
I brought home another orphan tonight, an SE/30 which I think is called
an 8/80. Anyway, it powered up okay but didn't recognize the hard
drive. So I booted from floppy to make sure it would (boot), and then
swapped out the drive for a 360 Mb, cleaned the interior out, and

Yes you can get any serial port to go High or Low ( +5V or 0V ) and
use very simple TTL interface circuitry to close a relay, if all you
want to control is ONE item. For more elaborate schemes, such as
using a Classic to schedule home lights on and off etc, look into the
XTension option.
