  • 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).

They allow MS-DOS and Windows applications to run directly on a Power Macintosh computer. There are several types of Apple PC Compatibility cards, and installation procedures differ for each: • 12-inch 100 MHz card: features a 100-MHz Pentium processor • 7-inch 100-MHz card: features a 100 MHz 5x86 processor • 12-inch 166 MHz-P card: features a 166 MHz Pentium processor • 12-inch PR166 card: features a 166 performance rated (PR) 6x86 processor Basics Overview - 2 With each of these cards, the PowerPC processor operates independently of the processor on the PC Compatibility Card so that Macintosh and MS-DOS or Windows applications can run concurrently. Basics General Compatibility Information - 3 General Compatibility Information The original 100 MHz PC compatibility cards (7-inch and 12-inch) are compatible with the following software and equipment: • Microsoft MS-DOS 6.22 • Windows 3.1 • Windows for Workgroups 3.11 • Windows 95 (not compatible with WindowNT or OS/2) • Sound Blaster-16 • Apple displays • Most third-party VGA and SVGA displays • Power Macintosh 5400, 6400 (7-inch card only), 7200, 7500, 7600, 8500, and 9500 series computers Basics General Compatibility Information - 4 The 166 MHz-P and PR166 cards are compatible with the following software and equipment: • Microsoft MS-DOS 6.22 • Windows 3.1 • Windows for Workgroups 3.11 • Windows 95 (not compatible with WindowNT or OS/2) • Sound Blaster-16 • Apple displays • Most third-party VGA and SVGA displays The 166 MHz-P card is compatible with the Power Macintosh 4400, 7220, 7200, 7300, 7500, 7600, 8500, 8600, 9500, and 9600 series computers, while the PR166 card is only compatible with the Power Macintosh 4400/ 200 and 7220/200 (Far East only) computers.

  • File Allocation Table - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 22
    File Allocation Table - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 22 File Allocation Table From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia File Allocation Table (FAT) is a file system developed by Microsoft for MS-DOS and is the primary file system for consumer versions of Microsoft Windows up to and including Windows Me. FAT as it applies to flexible/floppy and optical disc cartridges (FAT12 and FAT16 without long filename support) has been standardized as ECMA-107 and ISO/IEC 9293. The file system is partially patented. The FAT file system is relatively uncomplicated, and is supported by virtually all existing operating systems for personal computers. This ubiquity makes it an ideal format for floppy disks and solid-state memory cards, and a convenient way of sharing data between disparate operating systems installed on the same computer (a dual boot environment). The most common implementations have a serious drawback in that when files are deleted and new files written to the media, directory fragments tend to become scattered over the entire disk, making reading and writing a slow process. Defragmentation is one solution to this, but is often a lengthy process in itself and has to be performed regularly to keep the FAT file system clean. Defragmentation should not be performed on solid-state memory cards since they wear down eventually. Contents 1 History 1.1 FAT12 1.2 Directories 1.3 Initial FAT16 1.4 Extended partition and logical drives 1.5 Final FAT16 1.6 Long File Names (VFAT, LFNs) 1.7 FAT32 1.8 Fragmentation 1.9 Third party

The hard disk format supported by Mac OS version 8.0 and earlier is Mac OS Standard format. Mac OS Extended format optimizes the storage capacity of large hard disks by decreasing the minimum size of a single file. As an example, on a 4 GB hard drive a file containing only 4K of information requires 64K of space in Mac OS Standard format, whereas with the Mac OS Extended format, it will require the actual 4K on the 4 GB hard disk.

  • Downloading Mac Files on a Pc How to Open and Run EXE File on Mac
    downloading mac files on a pc How to Open and Run EXE File on Mac. EXE files are not intended to work on Mac, but there are workarounds to this. You can now easily run any EXE file on your macOS using its inbuilt tools. The best part of it is it’s a very easy process. Sue Wayne. Jul 13, 2021 • Filed to: Solve Mac Problems • Proven solutions. Mac's impressive library of apps gives you everything you need but let's face it: Windows has a far larger library. Haven't you ever come across software native to Windows which endear itself to you? But since they all come with the EXE file extension, your Mac is incapable of running them. Well, there are workarounds to this problem and you'll learn about them today. It's possible to safely open and run EXE files on your Mac using mediums like Boot Camp, Remote Desktop, CrossOver, Virtual Machine, and WINE, to mention the most prominent ones. And you don't need to be an expert to do this. As long as you can follow simple instructions, you're all set. Part 1: Can You Run an EXE File on a Mac? Yes, you can! With how innovative and creative developers have become, it was only a matter of time before they devised a means to run EXE files on Mac, even though such files are incompatible with macOS. What's an EXE file, though? It's a file extension that denotes an executable file format. Okay, but what's an executable file? It's any file capable of being executed as a program.

  • KURZWEIL K2000/K2vx/K2500/K2600 SCSI HELP
    KURZWEIL K2000/K2vx/K2500/K2600 SCSI HELP The following document contains information on using SCSI with the K2000/K2vx/K2500/K2600, as well as specific sections dealing with the using the Kurzweil in a SCSI chain with your computer. For all info below, any reference to the K2000 also applies to the K2vx Basic SCSI Information: Here are some basic guidelines to follow when configuring a SCSI chain: 1. Never, ever plug or unplug SCSI cables when your equipment is turned on. SCSI cables carry power. The act of plugging or unplugging cables causes momentary short circuits, which can result in damage to the internal circuitry of your SCSI device. The only damage that usually occurs to SCSI hardware comes from static electricity "zapping" SCSI connector pins when the cables are disconnected. The silver colored shell of the SCSI connector on the end of the cable is connected to ground and is safe to touch, but the brass colored pins inside eventually lead to the SCSI interface chip and are vulnerable. One should discharge static from one's body before touching SCSI connectors by touching the 1/4" jacks on the rear of the Kurzweil or another grounded metal object. Any devices connected to the SCSI bus should be turned off when plugging or unplugging SCSI cables. 2. Including a minimum of 1 foot for internal cabling of each device in the chain, the total length of the chain should not exceed 18 feet. There are some people who suggest that you shouldn't go over 10 feet, but in our experience, if you use good cables and follow the rules of SCSI, you can create a chain up to 18 feet in length (which is what the SCSI specification says is allowed).
