Will keep my eyes open for it. Will you be using UPS or Canada Post?

David,

Let me know if you get it and it gets tossed to your MM1_TECH echo.

I sent the parcel Canada Post, registered. Ooops, that reminds me...I hope
|
|||
|
|
there isn't a fee at your end for receiving it.
|
|||
|
|
Oh yeah, I just realized now that I didn't enclose any money for you to send
|
|||
|
|
it back! Hmm. How about I send you a money order to cover sending it back
|
|||
|
|
insured?
|
|||
|
|
|

Just tell me what would be the best arrangement for you and I'll get the

payment to you.

I was just browsing through the messages here remembering way back when (oh,
|
|||
|
|
I'd say early 80's) when I used to own a CoCo3 and ran OS/9 ... Was a nice
|
|||
|
|
little system to it's time. I'm interested to see how much it's developed
|
|||
|
|
since I've left (I now run a full blown UNIX (FreeBSD) system much to my
|
|||
|
|
delight). As I recall, OS/9 was similiar to UNIX itself, but I'm a little
|
|||
|
|
hazy. It's nice to see that old things don't die off, they just fight harder
|
|||
|
|
to stay alive :) (Brings back some nice memories of my first computer -- a
|
|||
|
|
CoCo2)

Chris,
|
|||
|
|
I have been running OS/9 since 1983 in all its forms on a CoCo1 and
|
|||
|
|
then CoCo III. I ran RiBBS on my CoCo III as a full Fido system since
|
|||
|
|
1988. I now run RiBBS_MM1 beta on my MM/1 with OS9-68K.
|
|||
|
|
For more info on where OS9 Lev2 has gone try the cocolist on
|
|||
|
|
indy.net, dont recall the full address. There is also a OS9list but
|
|||
|
|
that address is not handy for me now.
|
|||
|
|
You can also call my BBS and get more info on the MM/1, MM/1a and
|
|||
|
|
MM/1b. The number is included in my origin below.
|
|||
|
|
There is also the internet newsgroup, comp.os.os9 and comp.sys.68k
|
|||
|
|
that are very active. I also run UUCP on my MM/1 and you can E-Mail me
|
|||
|
|
at 'warren@ocnbeach.jd.com'

I found why windio56 didn't want to work when I called osterm or kterm
|
|||
|
|
on /t0.
|
|||
|
|
I had my buffers, in/out, set at stock 512/256. I moded to 4096/2048
|
|||
|
|
and viola no more missed chars.
|
|||
|
|
My boot for windio54 had them set to higher buffers and that made the
|
|||
|
|
differance.

Hi, Russ.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Took a look at things, and the only problem I was able to find was detailed in
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD>the readme.1st file:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In addition, the 16L8 sound PAL (U13) near the two sound
|
|||
|
|
chips needs to be fast (a D suffix part) or various
|
|||
|
|
strange symptoms may occur, including crashes and even
|
|||
|
|
hard disk corruption. Fast PALS will be available from
|
|||
|
|
BlackHawk Enterprises.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I checked under the label of your U13 chip. The model number of your chip is
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD>PAL16L8N'C', but it should be a PAL16L8N'D' model. The symptoms your system
|
|||
|
|
is <20>experiencing may well be an extreme example of those mentioned above.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
That's really the only problem I found. Software modules look OK, as does the
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD>rest of the hardware. I haven't been able to get the system to boot at all
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD>with the bootdisk that you provided, or with a couple of 'stripped down'
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD>versions.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Next step I guess is for you to ask Kevin Pease or Carl Kreider for a new U13.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
TTYL. Colin.

I just received the MM/1b our local OS9 usergroup ordered.
|
|||
|
|
Must be one of the first shipped since the disks were formatted
|
|||
|
|
on 95/08/13. The date UPS dropped off here was 95/08/18.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Since our usergroup is in the middle of the Southern
|
|||
|
|
California Computer show we will be unable to put it together
|
|||
|
|
until early next week so please don't ask about how it is
|
|||
|
|
working. Soon as we get it up and running then I will be able
|
|||
|
|
to give more details.
