CPU Energy Saver only works on Quadras or Power Macs — at least, as it comes from Apple. Using ResEdit, however, you can make it run on any Mac II that can be turned on from the keyboard.
Launch ResEdit; open CPU Energy Saver. Click the icon called mach, and chose Cut from the Edit menu. Save your work and quit ResEdit; the deed is done! (See Chapter 21 for details and cautions on ResEdit.)
Cache Switch Secrets
On and off without restarting
Normally, you’re directed to restart the Mac after turning the Cache Switch on or off. If you Option-click the On or Off radio button, however, you switch the cache instantly and save yourself a restart. (We’re told not to pull this stunt if you have a Quadra 700 on a network, however.)
Hidden message
“Wink, Wink!” That’s what you’ll be told if you turn on Balloon Help and point to the version number. This Secret, and $1.50, will take you anywhere you want to ride on the New York City subway system.
Roll credits
When the Cache Switch control panel is open, press Option and click the version number to see the programmer’s credit.
