John,
|
||
|
|
It is I, Warren that noted the Ymodem in the protocol window is not
|
||
|
|
Ymodem batch. Since there exists a Xmodem/1k it would normally be safe
|
||
|
|
to assume the Ymodem is the batch type. Some time back Xmodem/1k was
|
||
|
|
erroneously assumed to be Ymodem so that is an old wives tale thing.
|
||
|
|
I don't have the specs for Ymodem but you may be able to glean the
|
||
|
|
operation from the source for xydown if you have that. I beleive it was
|
||
|
|
distributed with source. Although that will only be good for
|
||
|
|
downloading in Ymodem batch.

On November 8th, 1993, David McCain at Incor Systems Corporation of
|
||
|
|
114 Industrial Park Drive in Soddie-Daisy TN informed me that Incor was
|
||
|
|
in possession of 50 complete MM/1 systesm, which they would sell be
|
||
|
|
(to me) as customers purchased them on a cash in advance basis. On
|
||
|
|
January 6th, 1994, I sent them a cashiers check for the first I/O board.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Oh January 26th, I received from them an incomplete CPU card. When I
|
||
|
|
called to ask why, they told me it was sent to replace the I/O board
|
||
|
|
I ordered because they had NONE READY TO SELL. At this time, Incor
|
||
|
|
claims to have 60 or so I/O boards which are bare. They decline to
|
||
|
|
finish them, even though they have been given evidence to confirm that
|
||
|
|
orders DO exist, including backorders from IMS which Paul K Ward
|
||
|
|
intends to purchase from me in order to complete his sales! Please
|
||
|
|
call 1-615-332-2119 and ask for David McCain.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Express to him your support for the MM/1 and encourage him to either
|
||
|
|
continue production, or make some arrangement to allow BlackHawk
|
||
|
|
Enterprises, Inc. to do so.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Without such support, the MM/1 WILL NOT GO ON!!! Please support us
|
||
|
|
now!!! THANKS!!!!

George,
|
||
|
|
The file locking is standard operating procedure for OS9. The Capture
|
||
|
|
mode opens the file for write only. Thus if you attempt to open for
|
||
|
|
reading the same file, it will go into file locking.
|
||
|
|
The only other problem I have found was trying to use the YMODEM
|
||
|
|
download in a BATCH mode. The YModem in KTerm is NOT BATCH. I am looking
|
||
|
|
into what it will take to make it function in BATCH mode. Right now the
|
||
|
|
only difference between XModem and YModem is, with YModem you don't have
|
||
|
|
to enter a file name. It gets the filename from the host.
|
||
|
|
Also if you are downloading a text file and attempt to open the same
|
||
|
|
file from another window, it will also go into file locking or worst,
|
||
|
|
crash the download.
|
||
|
|
I have not had any problems opening a file with ME in another window
|
||
|
|
as long as it is not the file being captured or downloading.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please keep me informed on any problem that you come across.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Regards,
|
||
|

Dear Warren:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have done the 4 meg hack as directed for a computer with the 68340
|
||
|
|
accelerator board, as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I used a 74AC32E and connected
|
||
|
|
Pin 1 to pin 16 of U1, This chip was replaced on upgrade to a
|
||
|
|
22V10
|
||
|
|
Pin 2 to bottom of board, hole at pin 21 of simm
|
||
|
|
Pin 3 to simm pin 21 on both simms
|
||
|
|
Pin 14 to Vcc
|
||
|
|
Pin 7 to gnd
|
||
|
|
Pins 4,5,9,10,12,13 to gnd
|
||
|
|
Pins 6,8,11 not connected
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I installed 2 8megx8bit 60ns simms
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I changed init file as follows:
|
||
|
|
Address Value Old New
|
||
|
|
$DF $20 $80 colored memory top of Sys. Ram
|
||
|
|
$A4 $32 $38 memory size text 2 to 8 meg, this
|
||
|
|
is different than the 68070 init
|
||
|
|
mod which says 3 meg at add. $AA
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I removed the jumper closest to the backplane and rebooted with 9 megs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I used a small printed circuit board with holes and traces for a single
|
||
|
|
chip already present and soldered a socket to it. I removed the U1 chip and
|
||
|
|
soldered to the pins on the bottom of the board at U1 for ground, +5v (vcc)
|
||
|
|
and pin 1. The grounds and floats for the unused circuits on the 74AC32E were
|
||
|
|
made on the new circuit board. Notice that all connections were to empty
|
||
|
|
sockets, no soldering to the chips.
|
||
|
|
I removed the old SIMM's heated the two pins, sucked out the solder, and
|
||
|
|
then pushed them up and out. I bent the pin up the side of the connector
|
||
|
|
and soldered a wire to each and ran it to the new board. I soldered a wire
|
||
|
|
to the empty hole under pin 21 of one of the SIMM's and connected it to the
|
||
|
|
new board. I carefully checked for shorts and continuity and then installed
|
||
|
|
U1, the 74AC32E, and the new SIMMS. The pin 21 connectors can be placed in
|
||
|
|
the socket when the SIMM is installed and will be held in place by the
|
||
|
|
SIMM.
|
||
|
|
This procedure is based on Mark Griffiths work and is only for MM-1's
|
||
|
|
with the 68340 boards. It is very different from the modifications for a
|
||
|
|
68070 (original) MM-1 and will not work on those machines.

George,
|

I shall also make your upgrade text file a downloadable file in my
|
||

|
MM/1 Official file section. Thank you for sending and proving it out.
