Wish that the port in Calgary was 9600 baud also, but it is only 2400 baud,
|
||
|
|
hope in the future Calgary, or better yet, Lethbridge will get a 9600 baud
|

port...

could you please specify the err-no. ?? you must remember to use the 'c'-option

to specify the number of sectors allocated to 1 bit in the

Joe, further to Ole's comments... the problem is that OS9 can only support a
|
||
|
|
bit-allocation table (one bit per cluster) of 64k bytes or 524,280 bits or
|
||
|
|
clusters. This means that you are limited, using a cluster size of 1 and a
|
||
|
|
sector size of 512 -- about 264 meg. However, you can increase this limit by:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- increasing the sector size
|
||
|
|
- increasing the cluster size (use -c with format)
|
||
|
|
- partitioning the drive into 2 or more logical devices
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hope this helps.

Mark,

|
||
|
|
What have you seen?
|
||
|
|
Any GNU software ever ported to OS-9 and made available through EFFO is
|
||
|
|
available in source code form without any restriction upon request. In some
|
||
|
|
cases, the OS-9 specific additions we made, are even incorporated into the
|
||
|
|
official releases. Everybody at EFFO full-heartedly supports the GNU concept
|
||
|
|
and nobody would ever do something that would give the impression that we are
|
||
|
|
"not honoring the GNU copyleft".
|
||
|
|
Again, what have you seen? If you have, please explain what it was. If you have
|
||
|
|
not, please say so.

Bob ... you might also want to consider adding:

|
||
|
|
comp.sys.m6809
|
||
|
|
comp.sys.m68k
|
||

|
|

|
|
to your reading list. Neither group is that busy, but there are some jewels
|

|
from time to time.

Bruce, HPLOAD just grabs font files and dumps them to the printer. Should work
|
||
|
|
with any HP compatible printer (this is not postscript). Yes, if the font is
|
||
|
|
supplied by your customer you will need to get the stuff to your printer.
|
||
|
|
However, if the customer "prints" the stuff to a file from a WP program on a PC
|
||
|
|
he should be able to upload that to you (complete with the font info) and you
|
||
|
|
should be able to just merge that file to the printer. HPLOAD isn't all that
|
||
|
|
big...you should DL it and have a look.

all I need is a printer! Still shopping. I need the best quality output I can

Actually, there is. I didn't mention it because I figured I'd get swamped with
|
||
|
|
requests and I only have two I/O boards to lend out. If you need yours done
|
||
|
|
right away, I can lend you a board. Let me know when to send it.

Mark has offered an exchange service. I suggest you give him a call. I, for
|
||
|
|
one, am taking advantage of the offer!
