Answer: Some models can be expanded, others not. Please see the manual of the specific model. (The MP328 and MP520 can be expanded from 2 to 4 MByte, if they did not ship with 4 MByte already. The following cards to not allow a memory expansion: MP320, MP340, MP540, MP850, MacMagic, MacMagicPro.) Problem: I cannot choose millions of colors with the resolution 1024x768 on my MP328 or MP520 with 4 MByte of RAM.

Answer: No. The MP graphics card is independent from the internal graphics of your Mac. If you add a graphics card, you can still use the internal graphics to drive a second monitor.

If you got an AWE with simm-sockets (not the AWE value) then you can expand your RAM memory up to 28 Mb. The AWE has two simm-sockets. To expand your memory you will need two simm-modules of the same kind (30 pin and 80 ns or better, parity or no parity). You can't use only one simm. You can use up to 16 Mb modules but you will only get 28 Mb instead of 32 Mb. This is because the EMU chip can adress 32 Mb, 4Mb ROM (but the AWE only has 1 Mb) and 28 Mb RAM.

Answer: Retentive memory will be cleared on a cold start. A cold start will occur any time you change the program, recompile and send it down. The cold start will only work if the program date does not change from the time you stop the program to the time you want to restart it. The work around could be a patch the POU. The larger sized RTXDOS should give you the room you need in order to allow patches without a problem. Answer: Interact uses true 24 bit floating point numbers.

The Speech Recognition Lab at San Francisco State University has developed a DSP memory expansion board for the NeXT computer that provides the maximum memory supported by the DSP56001 processor. We are now offering this board to those whose are interested in high-performance custom DSP development. The board is a 576KB DSP expansion memory board organized as three non-overlapping 192KB banks: X-data, Y-data and Program.

Answer: Because the versions change, only the second question can be answered in general. If you have Internet access, please have a look at ftp://ftp.villagetronic.com/pub/mac . In this directory there is the current software. You may enter the above line into your browser, although it is a ftp-server address. You may have a look at http://www.villagetronic.com and find a link to the ftp-directory in the support area.

The MP 22x and z have the new active VCA crossfader circuitry used in all current Rane DJ mixers. The VCA circuit design reduces crossfader travel noise, increases the life span of the slide pot and dramatically lessens bleedthrough. Also, the MP 22x/z have balanced 1/4" TRS outputs instead of the two sets of unbalanced RCA connections on the MP 22. Functionally the two units are almost identical.

The allocation of system and video memory is dynamic. If the system requires more video memory to run at a higher resolution, it will automatically grab it from the system memory.

Despite Akai's claim that the maximum MPC3000 memory is 16 megabytes (using two 4 MB SIMMs and their proprietary 8 MB memory board), it is actually 32 megabytes, or 380 seconds of sample time. Their stated reason for claiming a maximum capacity of 16 MB is that the MPC3000's disk system has a limit of 30 MB per disk partition, which prevents you from saving a full 32 MB of sample memory to disk. We think you'd prefer to have the choice.

Important Note: Your humble authors got tired of writing dry formal technical prose in the rest of this document, and succumbed to the temptation to try to be funny in parts of this appendix. Sarcasm abounds here. Please do not take any of this personally! The humor-impaired should interpret my comments not as attacks on them, but as an attempt to make fun of myself for being impatient with you, my devoted and valued, if sometimes demanding, users.

Consult your user/owner's manual for details about the original memory configuration and capacity. If you've misplaced the manual, you may be able to contact the retailer where you bought the PC from. If you have a hand-me-down PC or inherited a pre-owned PC, you probably may not have the user manual or know any detail of the original memory configuration or the memory configuration may have been changed.

Answer: You should not do this. In general, the MP will not be damaged if you connect one monitor to the VGA and another monitor to the Mac connector simultaneously. But because of the termination resistors in the monitors, the picture will be darker than normal. On some monitors, you may turn off the termination. The picture will return to normal brightness in this case, but because the termination is no longer at the end of the cable, you might see shadows in the picture.

Because they have "memory". When they are placed in a fire, the heat acts to relieve the "stress" that was imparted to them as they were being compacted in the die.

Make sure the cable from the case's power switch is connected properly to the board's power on jumper; refer to the motherboard manual.

Generally speaking you cannot upgrade video memory on a laptop. Laptop computers are not like desktop PCs in this regard. Most chipsets are soldered in place. In the future this may change. If it does you will notice that option available to you.

Make sure the cable from the case's power switch is connected properly to the board's power on jumper; refer to the motherboard manual.

Go into the BIOS setup (hit DELETE key while system is booting up) and go into Integrated Peripherals / SiS OnChip PCI Device / System Share Memory Size. You can select 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64MB.

Make sure the cable from the case's power switch is connected properly to the board's power on jumper; refer to the motherboard manual.
