- The Power Book has a MMU (but this is not widely know(Well not all all).
- Macintosh put this computer out with one but the MMU had a few bugs in it and
- they disconnected it from the main processor so if wouldn't interfere with
- the operation of the computer. If you take the computer apart(very easy to
- do (It'll invalidate your warrenity So!)) and move the jumper cable labled
- I41 from position 12 on he motherboard to 13 and this will enable the MMU.
- This helps performace very much (increases speed by 100%).

- Yes, you are right. If you make the screnn anything but 244 x 198 then your
- shouldn't have any problems with the -5016 error any more.

-
- Ok I am a lawyer. I looked into the possibility of sueing macintosh for every-
- thing that they have but there is a flaw. They don't have any money. After
- releasing there latest computer they went backrupt and they don't have any
- money left. There is a possibility that we could get them to melt all of there
- computers they haven't sold yet and get all the gold out of them. I estimate
- that we could get a ton of gold from all the circuit boards.

- If you want to go any futher then contact me.
