I added a new G3 to the mix. The new machine's disk is formatted with HFS+. The Windows person to whom I send files (mostly .GIFs ) opens the archive and they are all fouled up. Not the least of the problems is that the long filenames are sometimes replaced with 8.3 DOS filenames. (previously the long filenames were transmitted correctly.) I've noticed aberrant behavior when moving the .zip files to a DOS fat16 partition in VirtualPC as well. This did not seem to occur on my 7300 with hfs standard format drives. I also tried copying the files to the dos partion and then zipping them using WinZip, but that doesn't seem to solve the problem. Any clues?

Both use filesharing on their computers. If I start the computer up with no Jaz disk in it, filesharing starts fine. When I then push a 2GB Jaz into the drive, I get the message, "Filseharing could not be enabled" when the disk mounts. I can share Zip disks so I do not think the Iomega 5.5.1 driver is damaged. I can read and write to the Jaz disks just fine. The other problem is that if the user leaves a Jaz Disk in the drive and restarts the computer, Filesharing will again fail when the desktop comes up butthis time it is for the whole computer. To restart filesharing, I have to reboot with no Jaz in the drive. I spoke to Iomega and they said that Filesharing won't work with 2GB removable media. It is a limitation of the OS and Apple's fault. This was a Level 3/Engineer that told me this. I was wondering what you all think? Please respond to my email directly at mh@nih.gov. Thanks in advance. --- MIcah Hoffman (Tech Support Guy) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 08 Jul 1998 09:40:27 -0500 From: Sam Reichberg Subject: Iomega blues Something similar just happened to me with an internal Iomega Jazz drive. There was also a clicking noise after which the disk became unreadeable. I had to buy the TechTool Plus utility to try to recover my data which was in HFS+ format. Iomega was also willing to replace the drive and cartriges - although in my case, it was still under warranty. There were symptoms before the crash: the disk took a very long time to mount, and once mounted, it took a long time to open folders. These symptoms lasted for a couple of days, and then suddenly the drive died with the terrifying noise. Trying to figure out if the failure was due to the cartridge or to the drive, I stuck two more cartridges into the drive. Both were damaged. TechTool reported unrecoverable directory problems. (The new Disk FistAid Apple utility was totally helpless. It gave me the widely reported problem manifested by the message that repairing could not take place while other applications were opened (the application being the Finder)). The moral of the story: if you notice slow Jaz disk mounting or folder opening, keep cartridges away from it and call Iomega at once. Backing up is, naturally, not a bad idea. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 7 Jul 1998 21:21:19 +0100 From: Allan Hunter Subject: Jaz deathclicks, too >My Zip went the same way.

When I try to insert the cartridge into drive, there >>is a noise of shtrang-shtrang-shtrang and so for some 5 min, then a message >>comes out telling me that this disk is unreadable and do I want to Anyone know how they are on Jaz drives? I have owned 7 Jaz cartridges now (the 1 MB variety), of which 5 have died, in increasingly rapid turnover, culminating in the last one which was a replacement for a previous dead cart, which died when I tried to format it, i.e, within less than an hour of breaking the shrink wrap. Obviously, something has to be wrong with the drive! I know Jaz cartridges aren't rock-solid reliable but this is ridiculous! Mine is not Iomega branded; it is from ProMax, which has since the time of purchase stopped dealing with Jaz drives; but the internal mechanism is identified by all my SCSI and formatting software products as an Iomega Jaz drive. I would pay some money to have it peeked at and adjusted or cleaned or refurbished into something that reads writes and formats disks instead of eating them and their data. Would strongly prefer not to enter into an arrangement that would cost me more than buying a refurbished Jaz drive from catalog, which I've seen advertised for around $299. And if they tend to go bad easily and there's much risk of this occurring again, I think I'd just as soon write off the Jaz drive experience as a senior-level course in the Misery in Removable Storage Drives series (Floptical, SyQuest, and now Jaz, ugh, just give me a couple huge hard drives and I'll RAID the damn things). I live in the NY area. If anyone knows of a shop that will peer at and give me an estimate on turning this cartridge-eating monster into a functional drive for an entry-level bench charge, please let me know.

Thanks for putting up with all the illnesses of my Antique Plus, 68000 4MB RAM, SYS 7.0: After recently trying out Ricardo Ettore's shareware Sounds4Fun, my Plus started acting strangely. While running only ZTerm (which I guess eliminates system and application stacks colliding), everything just freezes. The last viewed screen is still up, but nothing else works, no mouse, nothing. Trying to restart with the programmer's restart switch does nothing. So a full hard reboot is necessary. Off goes the power to Mac and HD, I wait a good 60 seconds, power back on, and there's no familiar system beep saying the CPU is awake. The screen brightens, with only horizontal lines. It is only after I BANG the left side of the Mac (analog board) that I hear the system beep, then everything else is normal. Of course after a freeze I rebuild the desktop, go back to work with any application (ZTerm or otherwise), and sooner or later it will freeze again. I have long since removed Sounds4Fun, but this problem persists. I notice I DON'T have this problem when booting from one of my SYS 6.0.8 disks, so I now suspect extension incompatibility. But System 7 doesn't have a Compatibility Checker that I have found yet. Does anyone recognize any control panels or extensions below that are known NOT to get along?

Help, help! Untl a few days ago I was a happy user of NOW Super Boomerang and NOW Startup Manager. Something went wrong, and now I can't get either one to work. I used to use Version 4, but then I got the upgrade to Version 6.5. Originally I had Version 6 on a CD, but then I got the upgrade to 6.5 from the Internet. Now I have installed and uninstalled, and fooled around with various configurations (order in file list, using different versions, etc.) and have had no luck getting these two programs working again. The computer keeps telling me that they didn't load at startup so they aren't available for use. When the icons showing the various inits load at the beginning, the NOW toolbox icon is shown with an X through it. What on earth am I doing wrong? I have a MacIIsi with 17M RAM, the standard 80M hard drive that came with the MacIIsi. I am using System 7.1 and have a lot of inits and extra utilities. However, turning them off doesn't seem to help, so perhaps they are not the problem (?). Can you suggest what I should do to be able again to use these two programs (and some of the other NOW utilities)? Thanks for any advice you may have to offer. Lj. Lilajane Frascarelli, Adj. Asst.

Version 1.2 is out now, and Macromedia seems to have worked all the bugs inevitable in a v1.0 product. Dreamweaver handles all the regular HTML features beautifully (i.e. tables, frames, etc.) but its DHTML, CSS and Javascript capabilities are unmatched... literally. It handles javascript /DHTML without exposing the user to any scripting and can organize a site that utilizes cascading style sheets. It supports precise positioning and it comes with the full version of BBEdit. It is tightly integrated with BBEdit and Netscape or IE as well. It has link checking and site admin features. A great piece of software. The only problem is that it is HUGE. It installs 19mb worth of stuff on the hard drive and it requires a lot of ram. But if you've got a fast mac and can spare the disk space, it's worth it.

(A2) Click and hold on the image in Netscape or Explorer to bring up a menu that offers, among others, to let you save the image locally. You can also drag 'n' drop (or perhaps option+drag) the graphic right out of the browser window and onto your desktop.
