Looking for Help on the IIgs!
Greetings...
It's been some time since I've used an Apple II, the computer that I grew
up on. (I've been using Amiga's and Mac's for the last few years)
Recently I was at some friends place who have a IIgs for their family
computer, and they were having a number of problems that I offered to help
with. It's great getting onto a IIgs again.
Some problems I've been unable to solve myself:
The system is equipped with an audio animater, but the software won't
allow any recording to take place. It say's "press the spacebar to
record", but when pressed it flashes "recording" for half a second, then
automatically stopped as though I pressed the space bar twice.
Another quirk that i suspect is related is when going into the CDA with
ctrl-apple-esc and then into control panels, pressing return on any of the
selections responds as though I pressed return three times... (e.g., it
brings me into the panel, brings me back out, and then brings me back in
again, all rather quickly.)
Something else I was trying to figure out was how to adjust the margins in
AppleWorks GS 1.1. I printed onto their HP Deskwriter 600 just fine, but
it wasn't centered all that well on the page. I didn't find anywhere in
the software that allowed me to adjust this, what did I miss?
And speaking of the HP DW 600, does anyone know if there is a driver that
offers support for color yet?
My final question is of less importance to me... We've been trying to
install games onto their hard drive, and as I recall from my past
experience some games refuse to install due to their obnoxiously quirky
copy protection. They do have a copy of Copy II+ 9.0, but there isn't an
automatic coppy setting for Dungeon Master (HD). Is there somewhere via
http or ftp that I could download such a script?
Thanks tremendously for any help. If possible, please email me a copy as
I have difficulty accessing the Usenet with any frequency.
