TurboTransfer Software for the Macintosh

Version 1.2

THE SIMPLE WAY TO SPEED UP THE TRANSFER RATE BETWEEN YOUR ALPHASMART® OR

ALPHASMART® PRO AND YOUR MACINTOSH.

Typically, you should notice a 6X increase in the transfer speed.

NOTE: The only difference between version 1.1 and version 1.2 is a bug fix. Version

1.2 fixes the crash of the PowerBooks and other desktops that would go to sleep and

never wakeup!

Installing TurboTransfer

To install TurboTransfer Extension on your Macintosh:

Step 1:

Drag the Extension titled “TurboTransfer 1.2” to your System Folder.

Step 2:

System 7 users should see the following message:

Click the “OK” button. If you are a System 6.x user, treat this as an INIT file and

place it in your System Folder.

Step 3:

Restart your Macintosh.

You now have TurboTransfer 1.2 installed on your Macintosh.

Tips for Using TurboTransfer with different applications:

TurboTransfer works by reading the file into the Macintosh Clipboard and then

issuing a paste command. Where ever the cursor is when the send key is pressed, is

where the file will be pasted. (Because TurboTransfer uses the clipboard, whatever

was in the clipboard before the transfer will be lost and the last file transferred

will remain in the clipboard.)

Word Processors:

Try sending to different applications. Some applications will transfer faster than

others. For example: Sending a 10K or 5 page file to MacWrite II, ClarisWorks or

SimpleText takes only 55 seconds. But transferring the same file to MSWorks takes

5 minutes (1 minute for transfer, 4 minutes for the Paste).

Spreadsheets:

Now with TurboTransfer, you can directly transfer columns and rows of numbers into

spreadsheet applications. Simply put the cursor in the upper left most cell in the

file where you would like to start and press the send key. Make sure your numbers or

other items are separated by tabs (shown by a right arrow) on the AlphaSmart.

[Without TurboTransfer, to get rows of numbers or text to input correctly to a

spreadsheet, one has to transfer to a word processor first, then cut and paste into

the spreadsheet.]

TurboTransfer is NOT compatible with:

NotePad (found under the Apple menu)

N O T E: K N O W N S O F T W A R E L I M I T A T I O N S

A) If you observe the previous contents of clipboard showing up in your document

instead of the AlphaSmart file do one of these:

1) Press Clover-Z twice, or

2) Press Clover-P to paste the AlphaSmart file, or

3) Press send again on your AlphaSmart.

B) Transferring files to MSWorks takes longer than other programs like ClarisWorks.

For example, it takes 1 minutes to transfer a 5 page file in ClarisWorks. In MSWorks,

it takes 5 minutes; 1 minute to transfer that data from the AlphaSmart to the Mac

and then MSWorks takes another 4 minutes to paste it into your document. (This is a

problem with MSWorks, all pastes of this length in MSWorks take this long,

regardless of whether it is from TurboTransfer or the user doing the paste.)

C) If the clipboard is empty when MSWord starts up -- like it will be if you just

booted your Mac -- all you will get is a ‘Beep’ when you try to transfer from the

AlphaSmart. What is happening is that the paste command is grayed out -- disabled

and when TurboTransfer issues a paste command, it beeps telling you you can’t do

that.

Solution:

Copy something to clipboard before launching MS Word. Easiest is probably to go to

Scrapbook under the Apple menu and do a copy (clover -C) of anything.

Can also try the transfer (it beeps, won’t let you), then quit and relaunch MS Word, it

will work fine now. This is a bug in how MSWord handles the Clipboard.

TurboTransfer Transfer times*:

16 pages (32K) or entire contents of file 1: 2 minutes & 5 sec.

(without TurboTransfer, fastest transfer is 13 min)

8 page file, or files 2-6: 1 minute & 5 sec.

With TurboTransfer, 8 pages per minute.

- 3 -

Without TurboTransfer, 1.25 pages per minute.

*Test performed using ClarisWorks running on a PowerMac 6100/60/System 7.5.

N O T E:

1) Installing TurboTransfer in your System folder increases the amount of RAM used

by your System by 32K.

2) If you do not want the Extension/INIT to install, then hold down the mouse button

while restarting your Macintosh. This is especially useful if your Macintosh is

crashing while the INIT/Extension is installed.

3) If you press the send key and you hear one or two beeps, then the transfer has

failed. In this case, while the AlphaSmart is attached to the Macintosh, turn the

AlphaSmart off and then on, and try the transfer again. Please note the

circumstances that caused the beeps and see if you can easily reproduce it.
