New Hardware
We now have an Austin Pentium 90 with 40MB RAM and a 1GB hard drive.
It has a PCI bus, 64-bit video card and a built-in 14.4 modem. It is running
Windows NT, and will serve FTP and HTTP files. This machine is being used
for administrative purposes, but you are welcome to come in and take a look
at it.
We also have two new machines on loan to us from Apple Computer, Inc. -
a Performa 6115CD and a Workgroup Server 6150. Both machines have the
PowerPC 601 microprocessor. The Performa 6115CD has 8MB RAM, 350MB
hard drive, a double-speed CD-ROM drive and a GeoPort Teleport 14.4 Fax
Modem. The Workgroup Server 6150 has 8MB RAM and a 500MB hard drive.

Tech Talk
Macintosh clones. Yes, it is true. The Macintosh architecture is going to be
built into computers produced by manufacturers other than Apple. As many
as 50 vendors will be competing for different markets in the once-strictly
Apple arena.
CAIT Projects
To support the burgeoning campus interest in establishing sites on the
World Wide Web (WWW), the CAIT offers PubWeb, a Web server available
to departments, faculty, and ASUCD recognized clubs or organizations. This
service is designed for those who 1) do not have network connections, or 2)
do not have the hardware for a proper WWW server. The information that is
put on PubWeb can be stored there for a one-year period (negotiable). PubWeb
uses a Macintosh WGS 95 running system 7.1.
Groups that would like some coaching on how to write a home page, can
request a short lesson in HTML basics. Information can be transferred to
PubWeb from Unix, PC, and Mac systems using either floppies or FTP. If you
are interested in establishing a home page on PubWeb, call 752-6387
to schedule an appointment.
