HELP!

[Cygnus@tap.fnet.org]

Beautiful machine. But a few things are driving me nuts... First off, it
switched from the din-5 serial connectors to the mini din-8s. So I figure
GREAT! I can run reliably at 14.4, right? So how come it's not working? I have
a Prometheus 144e and I'm using ProTERM 3.1 (what else?) I've tried just about
every init string and driver combination you can think of, and I'm only
getting about 45% reliable 14.4 connects. Any ideas?

Problem number 2: I'm looking to turn this thing into a notebook. Apple
switched from the brick-on-a-rope power supply to an internal. Meaning the
jack in the back requires 120v ac. Meaning I have to jury-rig a battery pack,
battery pack connector, and power supply selector switch (for selecting
between the battery and the ac). Does the //c+ have basically the same
internal power supply wiring and power requirements as the older //c's? Also,
any ideas on how to go about doing the transformation? (i.e. suppliers for the
battery packs & chargers, LCD screen, etc.) Yeah, that's another thing...
whaddabout the screen? Any ideas? And a trackball... did anyone make a small
one?

Thanks in advance for any and all help and advice...
