                  The Cyberized Neighborhood Association
                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     Neighborhood organizations provide a sense of community for a section
of a town or city... provide an opportunity for neighbors to work together
to improve things in their area.

     Communication is the key to a successful neighborhood organization.
Visiting over the back fence, telephone calls, publishing a newsletter,
regular meetings, etc.

     The North End Square Neighborhood Association in Rockford, Illinois
takes advantage of Cyberspace to enhance communication between it's members
and the rest of the city.

     Their own listserve allows spreading information quickly.  Email is
used to distribute minutes of meetings to board members.

     Their own Web Site provides an efficient tool to provide information
about the organization.  Leading up to the annual garage sale you will find
a map of the area showing the location of participating members and a list
of highlighted items for sale.  Need an extension ladder?  Use the search
feature of your browser to see who has one for sale.

FILE EXTENSIONS IDENTIFIED
""""""""""""""""""""""""""
The File Extension Source, <http://filext.com/>, sounds interesting:

You may know what a ".dll" file is in Windows (a Dynamic Link Library,
which is "a support file and is used by one or more programs. As an
example, if several parts of a program need to perform the same action that
action may be placed into a .DLL file (library) that the various program
parts can all use.") But if someone sent you a .vag file, would you have
any clue how to open it? (You might if you had a Sony Playstation; the file
would be a PlayStation ADPCM Sound File.) FILExt attempts to catalog "all"
of the extensions you might run into, and gives detailed information on the
file's characteristics and more. A really neat resource for the geeks
...and the puzzled.

(Description from
<http://www.bonzersites.com/the_file_extension_source.html>)

A quick test of the site revealed that it knows some Apple II extensions,
such as SHK and BSC, but does not recognize BXY, and identifies S16 as
something else.

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?
""""""""""""""""""""""
A conversation I had the other day got me to thinking: what is everyone's
hobbies?  A common interest in the Apple II is what brings us together, but
chances are there's more to us than both that and what we do 9-5 M-F.  For
example, my interests are reflected in the fora I run here on Syndicomm: I
like to watch movies, read books, play video games, and date cute girls.
But my main interest is community theater, with this past Friday being
opening night for my current musical, "Once Upon a Mattress"; I'll be
auditioning for "The Music Man" in June.

How does everyone else spend their non-Apple leisure time?  Jogging?
Collecting stamps?  Flying kites?

I like the idea of dating cute girls!  Unfortunately, I don't think they'd
be much interested in an old bachelor like me.  ;(

I, too, like to read books and watch movies.  Mostly the former.  Every now
and then I get on a movie kick and get some from the library or the movie
rental place.  I only go the movie theater a handful of times at the most,
each year.  My reading is wide ranging, with the largest portion being
science fiction, "classical" fiction, history, biography, memoirs, and
science.  I also like to _attend_ community theater productions but have
never had any inclination to acting.

Besides my common interests with Ken, I enjoy woodworking (both cabinetry
and carpentry), bicycling, hiking, and camping. Unfortunately, due to
lingering problems from a broken ankle last August, I have not been able to
participate much in these things for the past months.  I also do a lot of
volunteer work with the Boys Scouts.  Currently, I am the Montana Boy Scout
Council's Assistant Council Commissioner for the eastern part of the state.
I am also into fancy cooking.  I used to bake a lot but since I can no
longer eat wheat, it limits that a good deal.

SuperDrive - SuperDrive Controller Problem
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Anybody know why the following code, when run on an MS-DOS formatted, 720K
disk in a SuperDrive on a SuperDrive Controller Card, ejects my disk and
reports error $002F - Device Offline?

                 formatRec.pCount = 4;
                 formatRec.devName = &devName.bufString;
                 strcpy(volName.bufString.text, ":dmtmpxx");
                 volName.bufString.length = 8;
                 formatRec.volName = &volName.bufString;
                 formatRec.reqFileSysID = 1;             // ProDOS
                 FormatGS(&formatRec);                   // Format the disk

This same code works for 800K or unformatted disks in the drive.  devName
has the name .APPLEDISK3.5A in it, and volName is an empty 32-character
GS/OS result string.

"""""
The short answer: There is a bug in the SuperDrive controller card ROM.
This bug was confirmed to me some years ago by Apple's Dave Lyons.

The problem you describe doesn't match 100% with the notes below, but it is
near enough that it is probably a different aspect of the same bug. Also, I
think I had a similar problem to you with the "Mass Format" utility I wrote
in Applesoft.

Here are some notes taken from the "readme" for my MUG! NDA (MS-DOS
Utilities for those that don't know it).

****************
Apple's 3.5" Disk Controller seems to have a problem when it does a
low-level format on a double-density MFM disk (ie. 720K). The format
process actually completes, and the system doesn't crash, but you can no
longer access *any* 3.5" disks! You must eject the disk and do a
'three-finger-salute' reboot (a normal shutdown does not seem to be
enough), after which you can finish the original operation. For example,
'Diskcopy' will format the target disk if it is unformatted or the wrong
size (eg. 800K). After the format, the program fails as described above,
but after rebooting the copy proceeds as the disk is now formatted.
'Format' similarly fails after the low-level format, but after rebooting
you can use the 'Quick format' option to write the empty directory, etc.
Note that this format problem can be seen with other programs, not just
MUG!

The problem *DOES NOT* occur with 1.44Mb (high-density) disks - this is not
really surprising as they are already MFM-formatted for both Apple and
MSDOS use. Note that 'Diskcopy' will copy 720K disks just fine if the
target disk has previously been formatted for 720K.
****************

Not a lot of help, I know. Sorry! :-(

If you happen to find a workaround, I'd love to hear it!

One more thing. When I was experimenting to see if I could find a way
around the problem, I'm not convinced I had a 100% failure rate. (That is,
I suspect I *may* have succeeded some times.)

The problem was that a failure cost me a reboot, which tended to discourage
careful "scientific" evaluation of methods and cross-checking of results.
(The "successes" may simply have been that I accidentally used a disk
already formatted the right way.) It was all so long ago now...

Anyway, my point is that it may still be worth doing some experimentation.
And maybe even seeing if anybody from the Apple gang (such as Dave Lyons)
can remember or dig up any hints.

NDA OR A CDev?

I've been trying to decide on whether a program I'm considering working on

TIFs and PIFs, I'm not sure about, although I think they're covered in the

TIFs and PIFs are very simple; they start execution at the first byte of
code in the file, and return to the OS through an RTL instruction.

For NDA vs CDEV, one advantage of control panels is that they can be purged
from memory when not open.  NDAs give you much more flexibility in what you
can do with your window, though.

You should be able to find sample code for CDAs, PIFs, TIFs, and FeXTs in
the syndicomm file library or the TIAB CD collection.  PIFs and TIFs are
100% similar except that TIFs are unloaded after executing.  Finder Extras
are generally a PIF (though it could be an NDA, CDA, or even a CDEV) that
sets itself up to _AcceptRequests from Apple~Finder, and then does
something useful with the request.  The system 6 book should give some more
info on them.

for orca/pascal (or orca/c and orca/modula2) you can specify the program is
a CDEV, CDA, or RTL (for TIF/PIF).

Note from October 2004 issue:

      I'll say goodbye for now, but I'm not fading away as I did in 1995.
I'll return some time next year to do another couple of Illuminating The
Lamp columns for 2003 and 2004.

So, who's planning on showing up in Kansas City this year?

I'm still working on my plans at this point.

I'm registered for the event, but have made no travel plans.  I preceded
the past two KFests by meeting other attendees elsewhere, be it
Massachusetts or Nebraska, and I am waiting to see if something similar
will happen this year - perhaps in New York or D.C.

Sharon and I will be there. I'm looking forward to a change in location.

I'm still in discussions with the homefront about the extent of my Kfest
attendance.  It might be an abbreviated one like last year or it may be the
full go.  Our daughter has been quite a handfull for the both of us, so I
don't think my wife is all that warm to the idea of being alone with her
for a week.  One can hope though.  Kfest is definitely a highlight of my
life the last 5 years or so.

I can't make it since my daughter is due in late June, but I'll be making
an appearance or two via videoconference to do presentations.

Maybe if everyone's real good, Sophie will make an appearance as well... :)
