Those Who Have Both PCs and Macintoshes and Want to Network Them This book discusses two software-hardware product combinations that allow the PC and the Macintosh to be connected in a network and to share files, storage, and printers over that network. These two products-TOPS from TOPS, in Berkeley, California, and AppleS hare and AppleShare PC from Apple Computer, Inc.-provide two differ­ ent approaches to the situation. If you are in one set of circum­ stances, you might choose one product; if you have another configuration, you might choose the other. This book can help you decide between the two solutions. Those Who Have One or the Other of These Products Despite the constraints of having to describe two very different solu­ tions to the networking situation, I have tried to include a fair amount of useful information for users of either. Much of the mate­ rial herein-such as chapter 4, dealing with "coexistence" or file ix X IBM PC and Macintosh Networking transfer between the two environments, and chapter 5, dealing with managing the network-apply as much as possible to either situation. Those Who Need to Transfer Files Even if you are using only a serial connection to transfer information (and a product such as DataViz' MacLink to translate the files), much information is in here about the file formats used by various pro­ grams on each type of computer. Sometimes, I daresay, I go into more detail than is absolutely necessary about these file formats. But if you must choose among several ways to transfer, say, a database file from one machine to the other, this book should help you decide whether to use DIF, SYLK, or comma-delimited ASCII files to do it. Those Who Are Curious Clearly, we are going to be living in a computer world that has room for both these machines. How-or even-do you choose between them? What is the true nature of their differences? Besides just telling you how these machines are different, I have tried to explain why they are different and why it is necessary that so many of their internal mechanisms are different. It's not possible to provide a book that is all things to all people; networking is a subject worthy of an encyclopedia. Such things as work habits and the structure of work groups are beyond the scope of this book. I have tried, though, to provide information that will benefit most of the people who seek to integrate these two major computer systems. A Few Words About Terms Much confusion about terminology exists in the computer world, especially in cases such as this book where the same terms can have many different meanings, depending on the context. I have included as complete a glossary as possible, given the changing nature of the industry. The glossary often features several definitions for terms­ whether they are used in the PC context, the Macintosh context, or the TOPS context (or sometimes all three at once). When in doubt about a term, check the glossary and the context. Between the two, Xi Preface you should be able to figure it out. A short discussion of two common terms follows. PC When I say "PC" I don't mean to say only IBM's PC, to the exclusion of all the clones, the mM XT, and the AT. Rather, I'm referring to the range of computers that are built around the IBM standard and that run some version of Microsoft's DOS. Insofar as they are able to use the hardware and software discussed in the book, PC also refers to the IBM PS/2 line of computers. PC, then, is a generic term (but not too generic-the Macintosh and Apple II are also personal computers). DOS Again, several versions of DOS are available. When IBM sells DOS, they call it PC DOS. Other companies call it MS DOS. In this book, I call it plain DOS. Because most, if not all, networking products re­ quire DOS 3.1 or later versions, take as a given that I am referring to one of these versions. How Is This Book Organized? Networking is a complex subject. Networking two such disparate computers as the Macintosh and the PC adds to the complexity. This book is divided into two parts, dealing with the two sides of network­ ing the PC and the Macintosh. The first part deals with the two main solutions available today for hooking up the two machines: TOPS and AppleShare. Other solutions are available, but these products provide the most flexibility and are the two products likely to be most com­ manly used.

  • Setting up the Laserwriter
    Chapter 1 Setting Up the LaserWriter Inside your printer’s packaging, in addition to the printer installation disks, you should find ■ a U.S. letter-size paper cassette for 110V printers, or an A4 paper cassette for 220V printers ■ a cassette top with sliding guides for inserting printer paper manually ■ a power cord for the printer You should also have obtained a LaserWriter® II Toner Cartridge from your authorized Apple® dealer. 1 Choosing a place for Before you set up, choose a work area that meets the physical the LaserWriter requirements of the printer. Make sure the surface on which you place the printer is flat and stable. The LaserWriter runs on ordinary household or office current. Choose a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and sources of heat, cold, or humidity. The printer works best at temperatures between 64° and 77° F (18° and 25° C) and at a relative humidity of between 30 percent and 70 percent. Choose a safe place Like almost all laser printers and photocopiers, the LaserWriter produces a small amount of ozone. Be sure to locate the printer in a well-ventilated area where its exhaust does not blow directly into anyone’s work area. See Appendix B for important information about ozone emissions. Don’t use devices that produce open flames, such as Bunsen burners or welding torches, near the LaserWriter. Don’t use ammonia-based cleaners, which can react chemically with the toner, on or around the LaserWriter. 20 cm Exhaust vent (7.9") min. 40 cm 50 cm (15.7") min.

  • The Apple Lisa Handbook
    THE APPLE LISA HANDBOOK compiled by Michael J Posner copyright 1991, 2005 © all rights reserved .reprinted materials copyrighted by the original owner INTRODUCTION In the beginning there was this: “c:\”, and it was hard. But there was an answer, and it came from.....Xerox, yes Xerox. And one day Steve Jobs came to Xerox and said, “This is great”. So Steve went back to Apple and said, let there be Lisa (allegedly his young daughter out of wedlock). And Apple labored for three years and then (without Steve, who was now raising a pirate flag over at the Macintosh Group) there was Lisa. And Lisa was cool, like no other computer ever made, before or since. But Apple lost heart and Lisa was discontinued. This hurt many people (especially those with vision and a wallet $10,000 lighter). But Lisa lives for those dedicated users. This book is dedicated to them. My wife asked me why I wrote this book. She also asked me why I bought a Lisa. Afterall, it was nine years old, weighed over 50 pounds and besides, what was wrong with my 386 PC clone. I told her how I fell in love with the first Lisa I saw 8 years ago, and how I always wanted. After successions of Macs (512, 512Ke, Plus, 2 SEs, a II, and an SI) and then a variety of IBM clones (in addition to my profession as an attorney, I administer an eighteen node pc network so I needed a pc at home to stay up on the latest pc software as well as to master the intricacies of DOS), I had all but given up on my dream of a Lisa when one day on America Online I had the opportunity to acquire a Lisa 2/10.

  • Special Projects and Planning 1988-1989 Annual Report
    Special Projects and Planning 1988-1989 Annual Report Peter W. Day July 10, 1989 SUMMARY Special Projects and Planning worked to advance the computing capabilities and services at Emory; to keep current in computing techniques and technology; to disseminate knowledge to the university community through presentations, consultation, handouts, reports and articles; to discover new facts and increase understanding through careful testing and measurement; and to participate in the world academic community through electronic bulletin boards, the sharing of Emory-written code, and the writing of Mathematical Reviews. We worked to keep current in computing techniques and technology by reading numerous technical publications, attending twenty-two (22) technical conferences, talks and demonstrations, and reading technical electronic discussions amounting to over 200 electronic mail items per week. We gained a deeper understanding of the AppleTalk and IP protocols by capturing and analyzing packets and investigating network problems. We ran numerous tests and benchmarks involving computers and networking, and found the answers to numerous questions. We also helped numerous users with issues relating mostly to networking, LANs and e-mail. We disseminated knowledge to the Emory community by giving fourteen (14) talks and demonstrations; by writing twenty-two (22) articles, reports and handouts; by writing two Public Pages articles and providing text for eight (8) more articles; by consulting with, helping and giving explanations to at least thirty (30) EUCC staff and twenty-nine (29) Emory people outside EUCC; and by meeting with eight (8) departments to answer questions and give advice about networking. We helped save money by finding ways for LAN-attached workstations to use only their LAN connection instead of an asynchronous connection to access EUCC multi-user computers (“hosts”).

  • Local Area Network Market Analysis and Forecast
    March 1991 Doc: IEEE P802.11191- 17 IEEE P802.11 "Tireless Access Method and Ph)'sical Layer Specifications Local Area Network Market Analysis and Forecast Ken Biba 11 57 Sta. nya n Stre€'t San Francisco, CA 94117 V: 415-665-1812 F: 415-664-2474 Email: KBit)[email protected] February 1 991 Executive Summary Wireless Local Area Networks represent an enormous opportunity to provide a (possibly) revolutionary class of communications service. However, if wireless LANs are to be successful it will likely be because these systems "stand on the shoulders" of the overwhelming market success of wired local area networks. The purpose of this paper is to summarize industry knowledge about wired local area networks, their use, applications and market acceptance as a basis for the requirements, applications and market for wireless LANs. The data presented support certain conclusions about the wired LAN market and provide the basis of inference for the wireless LAN market. • There is little historical use of integrated real-time voice and data communications and little documented buying demand for such services. • LANs have become the de facto standard for desktop data connectivity. By the mid-1990's it is expected that the majority of the installed base of desktop data equipment will be attached to a LAN. The expected high market penetration of wired LANs in page 1 March 1991 Doc: IEEE P802.11191· 17 the next five years should give a sense of urgency to the wi reless LAN standards development process. The earlier a simple standard can be adopted, the more relevant it will likely be.
