I don't think we'll be able to get one too soon unless David Graham is
|
||
|
sucessful in buying out IMS. Microware will only sell the upgrades to the OEM,
|
||
|
which in our case is IMS. From what I understand, there isn't anything in
|
||
|
there that we really need to have. But yes, it would be nice to keep up with
|
||
|
the rest of the world.

I'd be more than happy to relieve you of one of those terminals. Could sure
|
||
|
use one here for testing and allowing the wife and kids to access the machine
|
||
|
while I'm working on it.

The interest in those two dumb terminals was a lot more than I expected it to

be! Both terminals have been promised to the requestor whose message had the

I have a X-10 program that runs under OSK written by Barry Bond. If you're

The Coco is pretty much a goner if I can move X10 duty over to the MM1.

To all you lucky folks who are going to the Atlanta CoCoFest this weekend,
|
||
|
please have a safe trip and a great time. Unfortunately, I'm not able to make
|
||
|
it to Atlanta this year, however Sub-Etha will be representing StrongWare at
|
||
|
the show.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I'm told that Sub-Etha's Joel Heberg has been working on a top secret project
|
||
|
for the MM/1, that is a must see, so be sure to stop by the Sub-Etha booth and
|
||
|
check out Sub-Etha's products as well as StrongWare's. I'd say more about
|
||
|
Joel's new program but it is suppose to be a secret until the show. Just the
|
||
|
facts folks <grin>.

|

|
|
||
|
Hello All,
|
||
|
|
||
|
In keeping with the spirit of the Dirt Cheap Computer Stuff Co., we are now
|
||
|
offering a special modem deal. You can get a 14.4 kbaud, send/receive FAX
|
||
|
modem, V.32bis, V.42bis, MNP Level 5 for $139.95.
|
||
|
|
||
|
What's the catch? This is specially made for use with a Macintosh computer, so
|
||
|
there is very little documentation, only a quick listing of the AT commands.
|
||
|
However, it does work, and works well (I'm using it now to upload this
|
||
|
message).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Full support for this modem will be available from me. I can promise a
|
||
|
detailed list of all the AT commands and the S register settings as soon as I
|
||
|
figure them out. Also, send and receive FAX capability is forthcoming when
|
||
|
Sterm-Pro is finished (I know, it is slow coming).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Compuserve has recently announced several new 14.4 kbaud lines in cities around
|
||
|
the country. I tried one and was able to download a 100k file in about 60
|
||
|
seconds. Pretty quick!
|
||
|
|
||
|
If anyone is interested, please let me know via e-mail, or call 314-583-1168.

Carl,

Gosh, your comment about 13 bits is odd. Seems to me that in early August,
|
||
|
shortly after 1.92 was posted, there was a flurry of correspondence from CoCo
|
||
|
users who were unable to use 13 bit compression; all with the same "Can't get
|
||
|
memory" error that I get. Did they all find a magic solution that I didn't?
|
||
|
Perhaps some of them will speak up now.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I'm not using L1; haven't used it for several years. Can't say if my friends
|
||
|
have the same trouble; I don't have any friends with CoCo's. Bob van der Poel
|
||
|
says he will give it a shot on his CoCo and let me know.

Umm, none of that flurry of messages found their way back to me. So I am
|
||
|
confused still. It should work, 2 pages (less 512 bytes) is enough to bit (err
|
||
|
fit) the object in and that leaves 6 pages or 48K for the tables, which is
|
||
|
enough. Why doesn't it work? Can *anybody* help? I *know* that it does work
|
||
|
on some machines (well, at least three).

What can you tell me about your configuration? What might be different than

another person who doesn't have failure to get memory troubles? Is it that you

No 9meg boards that I know of. The problem is who finances it... I may once I
|
||
|
get even on the accelerators. Or, the other option is the I/O board hack that
|
||
|
allows 4MB simms on the I/O board. Mark has the instructions and is planning
|
||
|
to try it. If he is successful, he plans to offer the service (at least that
|
||
|
is what I hear). Don't know of any cpu boards for sale either. Strange Q ....
|
||
|
Why another cpu board?

Opps, I didn't mean another cpu board...I was refering to the accelerator which
|
||
|
is, after all, a cpu <g>. Um, after the i/o board hack do you have to get 4MB
|
||

simms in right away or do the 1MB still work?

You can keep the 1 Meg SIMMs if you want to. Either they or 4 Meg SIMMs will
|
||
|
work.

Okay, I'll pack the I/O board in my suitcase. Hopefully someone in Atlanta can

do the fixes for me. Then I can worry about getting some 4MB simms later. I'm

If you need another CPU board, I might be able to sell one to you. I can't
|
||
|
sell the ROMs along with it since they contain Microware code. You need one as
|
||
|
a spare? I can bring one or two to the fest.

I like option # 2, I also checked my I/O board and the chips are in location
|
||
|
U5, U6, and U7 and they are 74AC257's, so I gues I have the right chip already
|
||
|
installed! Lucky me!
|
||
|
|
||
|
So when ever the boards are ready for shipping, send my one please! Please
|

advise of the price first, so that I can send You a cheque or money order...

The current plan is to market them via David Graham, who is perhaps doing
|
||
|
business as BlackHawk Enterprises. In any case, he can be reached from here as
|
||
|
">internet: nimitz@delphi.com". You would need to place your order with him.

Carl, I realize its probably too late to respond to this, but let me put my 2

cents in anyway... Option 1 is out of the question; If I want a speed increase,
|
||
|
I want the largest increase possible. Options 2 or 3 are highly preferrable.

I'm sure I can find my own personal technician, (and you know who you are!) to

do the hardware modification for me.

Wayne,
|
||
|
Gas got expensive, so cars became smaller and more efficient. Memory
|
||
|
chips got cheap - so computers (and programs) got bigger and no real effort is
|
||
|
made to conserve memory. Heavy graphics handling, like this program, is always
|
||
|
the worst for hogging memory and storage. The "standard" beginners C program -
|
||
|
prints "Hello There" on the screen - produces a file that wouldn't fit in the
|
||
|
ram on my first COCO. Progress (GRIN).

Might I suggest that you take the entire UG library and pack it into one or a
|
||
|
small number of ar or lha files (hmmm, guess it'd have to be ar, or is lha
|
||
|
avail for the coco?). Probably save a lot of save.

Bob,
|
||
|
|
||
|
It's been a long time since we've had the entire UG library online - we've been
|
||
|
systematically purging the un-accessed files for the past few years, and what's
|
||
|
still online is only that which is interesting enough for someone to access it
|
||
|
at least one time in six months.
|
||
|
|
||
|
And while packing everything might save some space, the UG library is not the
|
||
|
largest one, by far, so the savings, while not marginal, wouldn't also be
|
||
|
classified as 'a whole bunch'! <g>

*** New Product Announcment ***
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bob van der Poel Software is pleased to announce the availability of yet
|
||
|
another new OSK product: Magazine Index System. This is the same program proven
|
||
|
for years on Level II and RSDOS. We've rewritten it in C and added a termcap
|
||
|
interface so that is will run on any OSK system. The program comes with a set
|
||
|
of files covering 10 years of Rainbow and many other Color Computer magazines.
|
||
|
This program is file compatible with the other versions we've sold. It will be
|
||
|
demoed at the upcoming Atlanta Fest; however it is in stock right now for
|
||
|
immediate shipping. Price is only $19.95 plus $2.00 s/h (those who have
|
||
|
complained about high prices for OSK products should note that this is the same
|
||
|
price we charge for the Level II version). For more information leave email or
|
||
|
contact us at 604-866-5772, or PO Box 355, Porthill, ID, 83853.

Hello !!
|
||
|
|
||
|
I have noticed following strange (??) behaviour concerning the
|
||
|
global 'errno' variable. The problem occurs inside a trap handler,
|
||
|
in this case my own library. If I for instance try to open a non
|
||
|
existent file with 'fopen' inside the trap, and the want to clean
|
||
|
up the 'errno' before returning to caller, just setting 'errno=0;' doesn't
|
||
|
work. But if I do the same trick for instance by attempting
|
||
|
a link to a non existent memory module with 'modlink', setting
|
||
|
'errno=0;' works perfectly ok.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The problem is that I don't have complete access to the calling mechanism of
|
||
|
this trap, as a matter of fact don't even want to have
|
||
|
it, and the calling sw uses this 'errno' somehow, resulting to error on
|
||
|
caller's side.
|
||
|
|
||
|
What to do ??

Hmmm... I have been know to zero 'errno' in a signal handler, but have not had
|
||
|
occasion to do so in a trap handler.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Also - I'm not sure if this applies to trap handlers, but Microware documents
|
||
|
caution that if you do I/O in the main program (buffered), that you shouldn't
|
||
|
do it in the sig handler, or vice versa. Given the similarity to trap handlers,
|
||
|
I wonder if the same caution applies.

I seem to recall reading somewhere about not using 'errno' for signaling
|
||
|
errors. The problem is you never know what other library routines are doing
|
||
|
with it. It may be that it is another library function, not the trap. You might
|
||
|
be best off to return a value in the function call so that the caller doesn't
|
||
|
have to rely on errno for status.

Trap handlers have their own static storage area, this is one of the main
|
||
|
reasons for using trap handlers instead of subroutine modules. Register
|
||
|
A6 points to this area in a trap handler, however the calling process's A6
|
||
|
register's contents can be found on the top of the stack upon entry to a
|
||
|
trap handler.
|
||
|
|

Hope this helps.

The main reason it is not recommanded to mess with errno in a signal trap is

because register A6 (the gobal variable pointer) may contain a different value

Mark,
|
||
|
I am having a problem with trying to get /t3 & /t4 working on my MM/1, and I
|
||
|
wonder if you could steer me in the right direction.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Both ports are giving me the same results, so I wonder if something in
|
||
|
common with them is bad.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I can fire up STERM, then transmit a dialup string to the modem, that works
|
||
|
fine. The modem receives the string, dials the number, I get a connect to
|
||
|
Compuserve, but at this point I get nothing on the screen.
|
||
|
I know that Cis is sending, I can see the receive light on the modem
|
||
|
flashing when I press ENTER or control C, but I get nothing on the screen.
|
||
|
|
||
|
At this point I have tried a number of things, I put an rs232 tester between
|
||
|
the modem and port, and I am getting the receive signal too this point.
|
||
|
I tried xmodeing /t3 (and /t4) to type = 80, I tried setting the P4 jumpers
|
||
|
on the paddle board in both modes,(toggled or tied high), the P2 jumpers on the
|
||
|
paddle board are set for DTE, I even tried using the paddle board that I was
|
||
|
using on /t1 before I bought the MIDI board, same results. Having 3 bad paddle
|
||
|
boards is possible but not probable, so all I can think of now is that there is
|
||
|
some problem with the 68681.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Would you have any other ideas about what I should try next ?

Larry,

Check to make sure your modem's flow control settings match what you've got the
|
||
|
paddle boards set for. (That should be &K3).
|
||
|
|
||
|
I've been running a 14.4 bps modems on /t3 for a long time now without a
|
||
|
problem. The paddle board should be strapped to toggle, the descriptor type
|
||
|
should be type=80, make sure you've increased your input/output buffers to at
|
||
|
least 2K (use moded).
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
What kind of cable are you using? You didn't happen to do some creative wiring
|
||
|
when using it on /t0, did you?
|
||
|
|
||
|
There's a file in the Library called HAND.THD (I think) that details what I
|
