  • The Power Manager
    HW 24 - Little PowerBook in Slumberland Page: 1 NOTE: This Technical Note has been retired. Please see the Technical Notes page for current documentation. CONTENTS The purpose of this Note is to describe the ramifications of resting, sleeping, and The Power Manager power-saving modes in the PowerBook family of Macintosh computers, how they may References affect your application, and the appropriate Downloadables ways to defeat them, when appropriate. It also describes some nonintuitive ramifications of working with a battery-powered computer. [Oct 01 192] The Power Manager In each PowerBook is a separate processor called the Power Manager. Its function is to monitor and control the power consumption and battery charging of the system. In doing this, it turns on and off various hardware subsystems, changes or stops the CPU's clock speed, watches the battery voltage, and, when charging, sets the bulk charge or trickle charge modes of the battery charging circuit. As you can see, the power draw of the system is a dynamically changing value, depending on which subsystems are currently in use, the speed of the processor, and whether or not charger circuit power is available. The Power Manager is designed to optimize for the maximum battery life and controls the various operating modes in response to user preferences that allow the user to override or push back in time the onset of these modes. The Many Faces of the Power Manager The PowerBook 100 (just like the original portable) has four operating modes: normal, rest, sleep, and shutdown. The PowerBook 140 has four operating modes: normal, rest (power cycling), sleep, and shutdown.

  • Gestalt Manager 1
    CHAPTER 1 Gestalt Manager 1 This chapter describes how you can use the Gestalt Manager and other system software facilities to investigate the operating environment. You need to know about the 1 operating environment if your application takes advantage of hardware (such as a Gestalt Manager floating-point unit) or software (such as Color QuickDraw) that is not available on all Macintosh computers. You can also use the Gestalt Manager to inform the Operating System that your software is present and to find out about other software registered with the Gestalt Manager. The Gestalt Manager is available in system software versions 6.0.4 and later. The MPW software development system and some other development environments supply code that allows you to use the Gestalt Manager on earlier system software versions; check the documentation provided with your development system. In system software versions earlier than 6.0.4, you can retrieve a limited description of the operating environment with the SysEnvirons function, also described in this chapter. You need to read this chapter if you take advantage of specific hardware or software features that may not be present on all versions of the Macintosh, or if you wish to inform other software that your software is present in the operating environment. This chapter describes how the Gestalt Manager works and then explains how you can ■ determine whether the Gestalt Manager is available ■ call the Gestalt function to investigate the operating environment ■ make information about your own hardware or software available to other applications ■ retrieve a limited description of the operating environment even if the Gestalt Manager is not available About the Gestalt Manager 1 The Macintosh family of computers includes models that use a number of different processors, some accompanied by a floating-point unit (FPU) or memory management unit (MMU).

  • From 128K to Quadra: Model by Model
    Chapter 12 From 128K to Quadra: Model by Model IN THIS CHAPTER: I What the specs mean I The specs for every Mac model ever made I Secrets of the pre-PowerPC Mac models I Just how much your Mac has devalued Yes, we’ve already been told that we’re nuts to attempt the next two chapters of this book. Since 1984, Apple has created more than 140 different Mac models — including 35 different PowerBooks and 53 different Performas! Each year, Apple piles on another dozen or so new models. By the time you finish reading this page, another Performa model probably will have been born. So, writing a couple of chapters that are supposed to describe every model is an exercise in futility. But we’re going to attempt it anyway, taking the models one by one and tracking their speeds, specs, and life cycles. This chapter will cover all the Apple Macs — both desktop and portable models — from the birth of the original Macintosh 128K to the release of the PowerBook 190, the last Mac ever made that was based on Motorola’s 68000-series processor chip. When you’re finished reading this chapter, you will be one of the few people on Earth who actually knows the difference between a Performa 550, 560, 575, 577, 578, 580, and 588. 375 376 Part II: Secrets of the Machine Chapter 13 will cover every Power Mac — or, more accurately, every PowerPC-based machine (those with four-digit model numbers) — from the first ones released in 1994 to the models released just minutes before this book was printed.

But it’s also full of interesting extras that Apple fanatics should love.” Arizona Republic “I must warn you. This 268-page book is hard to put down for a MacHead like me, and probably you too.” MacNEWS “You’ll love this book. It’s a wealth of information.” AppleInsider “Rife with gems that will appeal to Apple fanatics and followers of the computer industry.” Amazon.com “Mr. Linzmayer has managed to deliver, within the confines of a single book, just about every juicy little tidbit that was ever leaked from the company.” MacTimes “The most entertaining book about Apple yet to be published.” Booklist i …and readers love it too! “Congratulations! You should be very proud. I picked up Apple Confidential and had a hard time putting it down. Obviously, you invested a ton of time in this.

  • Powerbooks Exposed
    Chapter 14 PowerBooks Exposed IN THIS CHAPTER: I Working with the PowerBook screen I Secrets of the wall outlet I Living on battery power I The RAM-disk, five-hour-battery trick I Sleep mode I Getting files in and out I SCSI disk mode I PowerBook Duo notes If you own a PowerBook, you already know the secret little pleasures associ- ated with this strain of Macintosh: the hedonism of lying in bed with the computer on your stomach; the joy of getting off the plane having done meaningful work en route; and the intoxicating pleasure of sitting someplace cool, green, and shady while word processing to the accompaniment of bird- song until you run out of battery juice. A LITTLE HISTORY It wasn’t that it never dawned on Apple to make a laptop Macintosh. Believe us, they wanted to. The ill-fated, way-too-heavy Macintosh Portable — every ounce as heavy as the Macintosh SE — is evidence of that. 469 470 Part II: Secrets of the Machine No, the complicating factor was miniaturization. A computer has lots of components inside it, and some of them are pretty chunky. (Pop off the lid of a regular Mac and you’ll see what we mean.) Each PowerBook component is a fraction of the size of the equivalent desktop-Macintosh component. The hard drive is the size of a deck of cards; the main circuit board is a quarter of the size of a regular Mac’s; even the RAM boards are smaller. The most brilliant aspect of the PowerBook is that, in a thousand glorious ways, it’s exactly like a regular Macintosh.
