5/1/2023 0 Comments Datathief iiAt some point a bug fix in the form of an extension called MMInit was leaked to the outside world. The bug isn't fatal - it merely slows down a small number of programs a small amount. There's been concern about a minor ROM bug in the IIci, IIfx, IIsi, and LC.

APDA will send MacTCP version 1.1 free of charge to current MacTCP Commercial Distribution and Internal Use licensees. To order, customers can call APDA at 800/282-2732. Anbinder writes, "MacTCP version 1.1, which is System 7 compatible, is now shipping from APDA. I have no experience with any of these companies, and I'm sure there are others, so check into it before sending in your drive. Several companies, including DriveSavers and Mipro III, will recover dead drives for a fee, so it's worth talking to them if you are in serious need. Rodime PLC is separate from Rodime Systems, Inc., of Boca Raton, FL, which is why US Rodime users have less to fear. At least one person has yet to receive confirmation of receipt of his drive, sent in some weeks ago, and Rodime PLC has announced that it will cease manufacturing operations. The moral of the story is: Avoid Jasmine! Do not send them anything! Do not pass Go! Do not collect on your warranty! For those of you who have bad drives from Rodime PLC in Scotland (I'd guess that mostly European users are affected), don't send them back for repair either. It's not that they're being sleazy - it's just that there's no one working, and no money to pay anyone to do so. Apparently Jasmine has no plans to return the drives it has in for repair, and it is still accepting (well, throwing in a corner) drives that come in for repair. I'm sure a pithy quote by Arnold Schwarzenegger would be appropriate here if it weren't for all the customers who are in danger of being crushed as Jasmine falls. Not really, that's the protection afforded by incorporating, but Jasmine is liquidated. Jasmine did that last time, but this time they're going for Chapter 7, which means that the executives are heading for the border. You always hear about (American) companies filing for Chapter 11, which means that they're bankrupt but are planning to recover and stay in business. Jasmine has toppled again, and this time its parent company won't prop it up with extra money. I haven't finished mine yet, but it has numerous interesting articles by luminaries in the field.
