APPLE II ACHIEVEMENT, 2001
""""""""""""""""""""""""""
by Ryan M. Suenaga, B.A., M.S.W., L.S.W.
[rsuenaga@a2central.com]
MAY I HAVE THE ENVELOPE, PLEASE?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2001 was a great year for the Apple II, and to celebrate it, the gang
here at _The Lamp!_ consulted with some of our buddies in the Apple II
world and came up with a list of the best that the Apple II world had to
offer in 2001. We again highlight the best of Apple II achievement.
Keep in mind that the ultimate decision on whom each award went to was
made strictly by the staff here at _The Lamp!_, namely, me, your editor and
publisher. Any comments can be directed to rsuenaga@a2central.com.
BEST COMMERCIAL PRODUCT: There were just a few contenders, but the
"""""""""""""""""""""""" winners this year are a couple of great
Apple II CD ROM compilations. _Juiced.GS_ followed up its stunning
_Friends for Life_ CD ROM with _Friends II_, making its debut at KansasFest
2001. A few seats down from Max Jones of _Juiced.GS_ was Ken Gagne of
_Gamebits_ with the multimedia file collection called _Espirit de Apple
Corps_, a collection of sound and graphic files as well as the an Apple
IIgs port of a classic game program we'll talk about in a bit.
BEST SHAREWARE PRODUCT: The Man Down Under, Australia's Kim Howe,
""""""""""""""""""""""" has been one of the most prolific Apple II
programmers of recent years. His _Telnet NDA_ New Desk Accessory makes
opening telnet connections a breeze, and has become one of the best ways to
chat on Syndicomm.com. Kim got my shareware fee, as well as some others.
BEST FREEWARE PRODUCT: We have a tie, but the clear winner in all
"""""""""""""""""""""" of this are Apple IIgs users. _Spectrum_
author Ewen Wannop added one more script based program to his long list
with _Spectrum Automated File Exchange_, aka _SAFE_. _SAFE_ brings a
graphical user interface to Apple IIgs File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for the
first time ever. Our second winner is an Apple IIgs version of the classic
game _Hammurabi_, the first publicly released Apple IIgs program of
aspiring programmer Thomas Compter, offering hours of fun for everyone.
BEST WORLD WIDE WEB SITE: A2Central.com. 'Nuff said.
""""""""""""""""""""""""
BEST PUBLICATION: Juiced.GS. 'Nuff said again.
"""""""""""""""""
OUTSTANDING APPLE II RELATED DEVELOPMENT: While some may feel that
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" it's the Apple II version
of the Borg, Syndicomm rescued several Apple II products from extinction or
at least copyright limbo. Eric Shepherd spent the early part of the summer
burning up the email circuit and when KansasFest 2001 was said and done,
products from EGO Systems, Parkhurst Micro Products, Ross Falconer, Byte
Works, APDA, and _Juiced.GS_ were all under (or soon to be) the Syndicomm
logo. Hope that logo's printed broadly, because the Apple II world is now
largely on Syndicomm's shoulders.
OUTSTANDING INDIVIDUAL ACHIEVEMENT: Once again, we have a tie. The
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Man behind the development of
Syndicomm.com, David Miller, has put in countless hours to get the
fledgling online service running like a champ, providing the Apple II
community a permanent online home. And in Indiana, Max Jones not only put
out the best Apple II publication of recent vintage, when he decided he
couldn't do it anymore, he made sure that it found a home rather than rode
off into the sunset. Thanks, Dave and Max.
Congratulations to all our winners! Here's hoping that 1999 brings
out the best in all of us again.

TREASURE HUNTING THE THRIFT STORES
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Treasure hunting the "thrift" stores...
The local Salvation Army recently set up a new thrift store and turned the
old thrift store into an "as is" store. The "as is" store has a lot of old
computer items.
Some of my buys to date include:
Apple 3.5 flop. drive-$5, System Saver IIgs-$5,
2 external SCSI CD-ROM drives-$10 each,
Mac computer-$5 (for the hard drive and CD-ROM drive)
Tried to start a conversation with the guy buying 6 IBM clones as to what
he was using them for... he didn't want to talk. :)
Lots of turnover of that computer stuff... Have to check back often.

The Salvation Army in my area doesn't have a thrift store that is open to
the public. Don't know why. They just don't. It would be a money maker for
them. Go figure. There are other thrift stores, however. Have never seen
any Apple II equipment in them. Sometimes a Mac or two appear. That's it.
I have, however, made out rather well at the local recycling center over
the past year or so. They have what they call the 'electronics trailer'
that one can browse through. It's great. I have picked up a number of A2

3270 EMULATION FOR THE Apple II?

Just curious, but are there any software solutions for the Apple II that
allow one to connect and use 3270 Emulation?
Thanks,
Dain
(A2.DAIN, Cat 10, Top 14, Msg 11)

"""""
Many (many!) moons ago there was at least one board that allowed 3270
access.
I suppose part of the question (or maybe even the real question) is how you
want to connect to your 3270 host. A normal SDLC link will need special
hardware (AFAIK) because the 'S' in SDLC stands for 'synchronous', which
means there are no start/stop bits as such, just continuous pulses. (This
is really stretching the memory, so would anyone still working with this
stuff please correct me *nicely*!)
OTOH, without a special board, I've used 3270 apps on my IIgs using ProTerm
as a VT100 emulator, but that required network hardware at the host end to
act as a 3270 to VT100 converter.

I want to say that the program that did 3270 emulation was SoftTerm, but

You can turn off the option to output multiple files when encoding with
Spectrum. Go to the 'Options' submenu from the 'Settings Menu' and select
'Encoding Options'. Here you can set the defaults for the various options
as well as whether files are split or segmented.
I still feel that there is a place for BinSCII in web downloads, and do not
consider it obsolete just yet. If someone is reading the pages using a
simple browser like SIS, BinSCII allows 8-bit data to be downloaded using
the simple 7-bit text or HTML interface.

IMO, CSS is nice since you can set up a page style in the CSS file. If you
want to change the format of all your pages, you just have to modify the
one main CSS file which will change the style for everything else.
It is not hard to design a page with CSS and still be compatible with lynx
and SIS. Considering that SIS and Lynx don't handle fonts, text colors,
backgrounds, etc. like Netscape and Explorer, I don't see that being a
problem.
There are some CSS bugs in Netscape and Explorer--don't believe that they
are 100% CSS compatible.
For the basic CSS functionality, you will get good results in Explorer and
Netscape--review the CSS standards for proper use.
You will find that creating web pages with the smae look and feel will be
easier with CSS. I don't see any reason to not take advantage of them.

KEYBOARDS FOR THE IIgs - MORE DISCUSSION

Of all the Apple IIgs keyboards I have used, I think I enjoy using the
Apple Extended Keyboard II the most. The absolute worst keyboard has to
be the Apple Keyboard II. Aside from having to put too much pressure on
the keys to type, and horrible key placement, the thing feels like a cheap
piece of plastic, something that should have been hooked to a Packard Bell,

Barry:
I picked up a refurb AppleDesign ADB Keyboard from MacResQ about 4 months
ago and I must say my experience has been different from that the others
mentioned here.
It has worked really well and has given me no problems. I use it with a ROM
3 and always boot into ProDOS 8, which might explain the difference, but
that's just speculation.
When I began using the Mac, I just about went crazy trying to adjust to the
difference in the placement of the arrow keys and control key when
switching back and forth between the Mac and the IIGS. So, I standardized
on the AppleDesign Keyboard and am now key proficient on both machines.
BTW, does anyone here know the Mac equivalent of the AppleWorks/AppleII

you can highlight the text with the mouse and then <delete>, but I sure

CONTROLLING THE SCSI ID OF HARD DRIVE
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Controlling the SCSI id of hard drive...
The setup:
IIgs rom 3, Apple high speed SCSI card.
SCSI hard drive salvaged from $5 Mac
"Apple Computer, Inc./Internal 3.5 inch HDD/250MB/
Firmware copyright 1993/ Quantum ProDrive LPS"
mounted in old Syquest 88 drive case.
(Power supply connection and SCSI ribbon cable connection
are obvious)
From SCSI id switch on back of Syquest case...
3 wires lead to one connector
2 wires lead to another connector
No obvious place on the Quantum HD to plug either of these
connectors.
J2 on the Quantum has a place for a small connector, 2 pins.
J5 on the Quantum has a place for a small connector, 5 pins.
I have the Quantum partitioned and software installed. It
boots the IIgs and works great with only the HD on the SCSI chain.
When adding a CD ROM Drive to the SCSI chain the IIgs is confused.
I suspect a SCSI id conflict.
1. How can I modify this setup to control the SCSI id of the HD?
2. How is the SCSI id and SCSI termination controlled in that old
Mac with both an internal HD and an internal CD ROM Drive?

Open the case, set the jumpers manually.
According to maxtor.com's site (Maxtor bought Quantum awhile back), there
should be a row of jumpers on the bottom of the drive, opposite side from
the power connector. Three of the jumpers should be A0, A2, A2. To set the
SCSI ID:
SCSI ID A0 A1 A2
0 Off Off Off
1 On Off Off
2 Off On Off
3 On On Off

The drive probably also has terminating resistors fitted, so unlike a

ALTERNATIVE TO THE SMALL JUMPERS NEEDED TO SET HD SCSI ID

You can always resort to wire straps. Use 30 gauge wire and wrapper. I got
mine from Radio Shack. Never know when you might have other uses for it.

Wrapper is a tool. It is used to wrap wire around a pin. The one I use at
work has a handle with gears on it that turns the wrapping bit quickly, so
I can connect a wire in about half a second, once I get the wire into the
bit and on the pin. The one I have for 30 gauge wire is manual. It has to
be turned like a jewelers screwdriver.

To the best of my knowledge, hardware settings override "firmware"
settings. i.e. in order to set SCSI ID via software, the jumpers need to
be at "0", termination needs to be "none", etc.
But I could be 100% wrong about that. I never used the stuff. Harold Hislop
explained it to me once when I was having an odd problem with a drive, but

ANTI-SPAM TECHNIQUE
"""""""""""""""""""
David Kerwood recently pointed me at a useful anti-spam technique:
http://www.wbwip.com/wbw/emailencoder.html
This page will encode your email address so as to make it safe to put on a
web page. For example, instead of posting "kgagne@gamebits.net", I can
post this:
&#107;&#103;&#097;&#103;&#110;&#101;&#064;&#103;&#097;&#109;&#101;&#098;&#1
05;&#116;&#115;&#046;&#110;&#101;&#116;
Web browsers will decode it as "kgagne@gamebits.net" but spiders that crawl
the Web looking for email addresses to spam supposedly can't decipher it.

why the change, and if decimal encoding is effective:
"There are questions about this. Some spam-bots *can* apparently read the
decimal equivalents or will shortly be able to, and some page-authoring
programs won't let you save HTML pages without reconverting the decimals
back to standard format. Go figure.

The bots to harvest email addresses can be written to circumvent any
alternatives to how to display an address on a web page.
Instead of displaying your email address, provide a web form which is used
to send email. A web user will have to fill out a form which is handled by
a cgi-script which formats an email message and sends that message to you.
This is currently the most effective to provide an email contact, but not
get your address harvested. This assumes your web server has no security
holes to harvest cgi-scripts and you have your web server set up to only
execute cgi-scripts and not be downloadable.

NEW ENHANCEMENTS FOR SYNDICOMM ONLINE
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Jan 1st:
We have some new enhancements to our system for your enjoyment!
The webside bulletin boards have been beefed up a bit; at the top of every
screen is some basic information about the forum (such as how many people
are in chat), along with a button bar providing quick access to the forum's
web page, chat room, and the Syndicomm forum index. There's also a popup
menu so you can quickly navigate to other forums' bulletin boards.
In addition, there's now a "back to category list" button at the bottom of
message-reading pages, so you can quickly skip from category to category.
We also have an experimental, first-whack at webside chat! Click the
"chat" button on any bulletin board page to get into the web chat area.
It's rough around the edges at this point, and may have quirks with certain
browsers, but we're still working on it, and it will improve over time.
In addition, new users entering a bulletin board for the first time will no
longer be pummeled by every message ever posted; instead, they'll see only
the last five messages in each topic as "new." The rest will of course
still be available, but they won't show up as new messages anymore. This
should help newcomers ease into things.
We hope you enjoy the new features, and welcome to the year 2002!

CONNECTING A IIgs TO A PC USING MARINETTI
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
I have added a new feature request to the Marinetti Open Source Project for
support of PPP for a direct connection to a PC.
Has anyone had any success connecting a GS to a PC using Marinetti? Can
you please document your setup?
Thanks,

"""""
>> I have added a new feature request to the Marinetti Open Source Project
for support of PPP for a direct connection to a PC. <<
Sounds like a neat idea but I'm not sure if it will help. What you need on
the PC is a program that allows users to use your PC as a "dial up"
internet account. This software comes with the various types of unix out
there but I have yet to find a proper one for Windows. There is the Dial-Up
Server that was included with Windows 98 but see below as to its problems.
>> Has anyone had any success connecting a GS to a PC using Marinetti? Can
you please document your setup? <<
I've tried to use the PPP (scripted) link layer in Marinetti to fool
Windows 98's Dial-Up Server into thinking there is an incoming call, which
I've been successful doing, but I haven't been able to get the IIgs and PC
to negotiate the PPP options.
To do this I set up a modem under Windows (I used a Zoom as I have a
couple of those and sometimes use them on the PC) as Dial-Up Server has to
be set up with a modem (I've also tried to find a null-modem modem driver
but without any luck). I wrote a Marinetti script that will send a RING to
the PC over a null-modem cable, wait for an AT command back from the PC and
then send an OK (this needs to be done several times as the PC sends modem
init strings and such before answering a call) and when the scripts gets an
ATA from the PC it sends back a CONNECT message and the script ends. At
this point, the IIgs is expecting to start negotiating PPP options but the
PC pretty much immediately starts trying to hang up the "modem".
I'm not 100% sure that the Dial-Up Server is doing full dial up support for
PPP. I think it is using its own proprietary system so only other Windows
users can actually dial into your machine.
If I could get this working, Windows 98 also comes with an Internet Sharing
utility that I could use to let my null-modem connected IIgs surf the net
through my DSL connection. Mind you, I could stop worrying about all of
this if I got myself a router and set up an old machine as a unix machine
to null-modem connect my IIgs to or better yet, just bought myself a
LANceGS card and plugged my IIgs directly into the router. :-)

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for documenting what you have tried to get working.
A null modem connection through dial up server seems a little round-a-bout,
however good thinking!
I've been thinking about the Direct Cable Connection service which does
support null modem cables. I don't know what protocol it is using and
haven't been able to find out yet. Does anyone know about this?
While there are other hardware options, I'd like to get a direct connection
to a PC working so network connections can be shared with a IIgs without
having to purchase a LanceGS or other network infrastructure.
