- Description:
- 10+ Commandments - The world of Macintosh is changing rapidly. With a
- plethora of new Macintosh CPUs and the prospect of even stranger, non-68K
- CPUs on the horizon, how’s a programmer supposed to keep up? Maybe it’s
- time to review some basic tenets of Macintosh programming and point out
- some future pitfalls. Not only is it important that Apple evolve new
- hardware; Apple must evolve the operating system as well. The issues
- discussed here affect the ability of Apple to transform the Macintosh
- Operating System into a modern operating system. As you write new code, or
- review old code, be aware of these issues.

- Size: 5K Date: 6/22/93 Version:
- Description:
- ADBReInit in sys 4.2 - Because of a bug (which causes auto-repeat) in the
- ROM version of the Macintosh SE keyboard driver, a patch was placed in
- System 4.1. If ADBReInit is called, the ROM version of the keyboard driver
- will be reloaded, and the RAM version of the driver with the patches will
- not be used. Therefore, it is recommended that ADBReInit not be called on
- the Macintosh SE until the problem is fixed. (There is no need to call
- ADBReInit.) This problem will not occur with the Macintosh II ROM version
- of the keyboard driver.

- Size: 7K Date:12/07/93 Version:
- Description:
- ARA GetPortGlobal - This Technical Note documents the Remote Access Manager
- (RAM) GetUserPortGlobalsPtr call. In order to make the RAM Status call on a
- machine that is setup to answer calls, you must first make the
- GetUserPortGlobalsPtr call to retrieve a pointer to the globals for the
- user port. The Apple Remote Access (ARA) 1.0 client software supports
- dial-out and answering capabilities through a single port called the “user”
- port (the modem or printer port on your Mac). This means that when you
- setup your machine to answer calls, you can answer only one call at a time
- on the user port. However, the underlying ARA architecture was designed so
- that in the future multiple ports may be supported...
