Wayne,

Thanks for the reply. I'm using CIM to con
|

nect with Compuserve. Maybe I'll go

back to the good old White Knight and try that.

I have a friend who would like to run DeskMate v1.01 on a VGA monitor but
|
||
|
|
claims the cursor disappears. Is there a switch or anything he can do to see
|
||
|
|
the cursor ?

Any input will be welcome.

I have come to the realization that since I work 50 hours a week and go to
|
||
|
|
graduate school, so I can work 70 hours a week when I'm done, that I never will
|
||
|
|
be able to set up my old CoCo's like I'd always planned. As you can see I was
|
||
|
|
really into it, attended Rainbowfest Princeton several times and used to do
|
||
|
|
some programming. I hate to see this stuff slowly deteriorating in the basement
|
||
|
|
so it's all for sale. I have no idea what things are going for these days, but
|
||
|
|
some of the items are probably hard to find. I'll entertain offers for the
|
||
|
|
whole bunch at first (I'll deliver 200 miles from Connecticut, otherwise figure
|
||
|
|
you pay shipping.) If there is no interest in the whole lot I'll break it up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Best bet is to call my BBS at (203) 753-8351 and leave a message to SYSOP or
|
||
|
|
call me voice (203) 754-6723, ask for dave.

Jay,

|

Sure. Mike and I (and Pete used to) work for a company which makes a system
|
||
|
|
designed to play Bingo, Poker, Pulltabs, Keno, Slots, and other casino gambling
|
||
|
|
games on video player terminals. Basically, it's comprised of:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. VME host computer (68040 with 4-8 MB RAM, 2MB battery-backed RAM [enough
|
||
|
|
room for about 10,000 accounts], several intelligent 68000-based I/O cards to
|
||
|
|
talk to the terminals, etc).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Normal text terminals with cash drawers and printers as cashier stations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3 The player terminals themselves... currently 68000-based with a TI 34010
|
||
|
|
graphics processor, lots of I/O, and a VGA monitor with touchscreen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There can be anywhere from a dozen to hundreds of these connected to the host.
|
||
|
|
You buy credits from the cashiers, then log onto the player terminal and play
|
||
|
|
the game(s) of your choice via the touchscreen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The host runs OS-9; future versions may have dual cpus, one running OS-9, the
|
||
|
|
other Unix. The player terminals may also use OS-9 before long.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
best - Kevin

Oh, I didn't know that Pete was is the "used to" catagory. Any idea what he is
|
||
|
|
up to now? Speaking of your gaming machines...did anyone read the article in
|
||
|
|
the CIS magazine about CD-i? Interesting that they never mentioned the OS it
|

uses. Maybe they didn't want to upset Bill Gates?

Bob -
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'm now managing the systems staff over at the Charles Schwab Denver Base.
|
||
|
|
We've implemented the new OSF DCE architecture (actually, a variation on it
|
||
|
|
using the Andrew filesystem vice DFS), and have hundreds (soon to be over 7000)
|
||
|
|
of Sun Classics & SparcServer 010's connected via LAN, MAN, and WAN gear) using
|
||
|
|
everything from 56K lines to T3 trunks. Applications are all Motif based, and
|
||
|
|
serve primarily as market watching and mainframe connectivity tools for the
|
||
|
|
present.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other than that, I'm pretty much twiddling my thumbs (grin)...

Gee, Kevin, are you recruiting all the old folks from this forum to work with
|
||
|
|
you....the only problem is that once they start at your place they disappear
|
||
|
|
from here! Guess that's what happens when you start to work for money.

Bob,
|

|
|
||
|

Hey, don't joke too hard; we may be hiring lots more people soon... and that
|
||
|
|
could very well include other folk from this forum <grin>!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Our sales are taking off. We have installations in major halls in Canada and
|
||
|
|
Milwaukee, and will be installing two more major sites within weeks both in the
|
||
|
|
northeast (at one of the largest casinos in the world) and in the midwest.
|
||
|
|
Installation on cruise ships is a definite possibility as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This all means we'll need more people to make up multiple installation and site
|
||
|
|
customization teams. If our next generation player terminals use OS-9, then
|
||
|
|
we'll need OS-9/gfx types as well!
