  • USB Converter MT606 Series
    USB Converter MT606 Series FEATURES: Use with Keyboard Wedge Scanners Use with Keyboard and Mouse PS/2 and MAC-ADB Port Powered by PC or MAC Connect/Disconnect Without Reboot Plug and Play No Software Needed DESCRIPTION: The MT606 Series USB Converters provide an easy solution for converting existing peripherals, such as keyboards, pointing devices and barcode scanners, to Universal Serial Bus. Models are available to work with both PS/2 and Macintosh devices. As with all USB devices, the converter can be connected and disconnected without re-booting or powering down the computer. Each model has two ports. The MT606-4 has one PS/2 port and one Macintosh ADB (Apple Desktop Bus) port. The MT606-1 has one PS/2 keyboard port and one PS/2 Mouse port. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS: The MT606 converter will enable keyboards, pointing devices (mouse, trackball), and conventional barcode scanners with keyboard wedge interfaces, to be used with computers that feature the newer Universal Serial BUS. At present, newer PCs with the Windows® 98 and Windows 2000 operating systems, feature USB Ports. The Apple iMac, iBook, G3 and G4 use Universal Serial Bus for interfacing to external devices. The Model MT606-1 can accept inputs from a PS/2 Pointing Device and a PS/2 Keyboard or Barcode Scanner. The MT606-4 can accept inputs from a PS/2 keyboard or barcode scanner and any Macintosh ADB device, including Keyboard, Pointing Device or Barcode Scanner. SPECIFICATIONS: Dimensions: 2.2" X 1.5" X 0.85" Operating Voltage: 5VDC derived from USB 56mm X 40mm X 22mm connector.

  • 40 Lessons from 40 Years of Apple Ads
    40 Lessons from 40 Years of Apple Ads Apple was founded on April fools day in 1976. It’s first office was Steve Jobs’ parents’ garage: And it’s first products were humble: Steve Jobs was obsessed with poets, and he and Woz both drew inspiration from one of the best, Bob Dylan. Any great folklorist will tell you that Apple’s origins met the primary criteria for future exaltation. They were humble, poor, and hard working. From those origins, Apple has grown to a global behemoth with over $269 billion dollars in the bank. One of the (many) things that helped Apple get to where it is today is a mastery of advertising. This article presents 40 of the best Apple ads over 40 years and draws 40 lessons from each. It spans 1977’s “Simplicity” all the way to “The Rock x Siri Dominate the Day.” 1977 — “Simplicity” (https://archive.org/details/Apple_II_-_Simplicity_is_the_ultimate_sophistication) “Apple II will change the way you think about computers.” This is an introduction to the Apple II. It displays the features of the device with a clear emphasis on personal computing. The idea of having a personal computer was very new at the time; many people didn’t think there was a use for a computer at home. The lesson: When you’re introducing something new, keep it simple. 1978 — “Bestselling” (http://www.macmothership.com/gallery/MiscAds/a2bestselling1.jpg) “Since we developed Apple II in April 1977, more people have chosen our computer than all other personal computers combined.” Apple opens the brochure with the above quote, providing social proof from buyers.

  • System 7.1 and Adbreinit Extension Powerbook 140 & 170 ADB
    HW 505 - Apple Desktop Bus Q&As Page: 1 NOTE: This Technical Note has been retired. Please see the Technical Notes page for current documentation. CONTENTS This Technical Note contains a collection of archived Q&As relating to a specific Downloadables topic--questions sent the Developer Support Center (DSC) along with answers from the DSC engineers. Current Q&A's can be found on the Macintosh Technical Q&A's web site. [Oct 01 1989] System 7.1 and ADBReINIT extension Date Written: 11/18/92 Last reviewed: 6/14/93 Now that I've upgraded my Macintosh Quadra 950 to System 7.1, do I still need the ADBReInit bug fix that's posted in AppleLink or was this ADB problem fixed in System 7.1? ___ The ADBReInit bug wasn't fixed in 7.1, so you probably should continue to use the ADBReINIT extension. The ADBReInit extension prevents memory from being moved at interrupt time, which could cause the PowerBook 140 and 170 models, as well as the Macintosh Quadra 700, 900, 950 models, to hang or crash if ADBReInit is called. Informal testing indicates that it's more likely to happen while AppleShare is active (file sharing is turned on). ADBReInit normally is never called on a Macintosh Quadra because connecting ADB devices while the CPU power is on is discouraged. There is a specific instant that the PowerBook uses the call: When coming out of Sleep mode, ADBReInit is called to determine whether or not external ADB devices are attached. Also, the ADBReInit section of the Macintosh Technical Note "Space Aliens Ate My Mouse (ADB--The Untold Story)" suggests instances where this call might be used, as does the MacDTS sample code TbltDrvr, referenced in the ADBReInit section of Inside Macintosh' s ADB chapter.

  • 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.
