to BARRY POLLACK re: 9600 BAUD CBBS
|
|
|
|
CBBS has been up and down over the last few days - at one point,
|
|
something apparently bumped the switch powering the modem, and Randy
|
|
didn't notice for a while; there were other problems in which CBBS was
|
|
down - perhaps a power outage - Randy found it as if it had just been
|
|
booted one time.
|
|
There is not a lot of 9600 baud access - myself, Mike Andrews formerly
|
|
(until yesterday) of USR, and David Gibbs, are the 9600 baud callers.

to SAM LEE re: R/WRITING TO EGA/VGA SCREEN
|
|
|
|
I've found no EGA or VGA that requires waiting. However, I got a real
|
|
surprise - I had a program on my VGA Clone, that rapidly changed the
|
|
VGA palette register. On my clone, the register didn't change that fast
|
|
(I didn't really notice that) but I didn't have to waitfor retrace
|
|
or anything.
|
|
Then, much to my embarassement, I took the program to an IBM PC fair,
|
|
and ran it on an IBM model 80 VGA, and whaddyaknow, it flickered
|
|
unbearably.
|
|
SO, you MAY have to synchronize the PALETTE REGISTER CHANGES if you're
|
|
going to do them a lot. I didn't persue this since I didn't really
|
|
care if it ran on the 80 or not - it worked OK for me at home.

Good,
|
|
I'm glad the chip worked out fine. The 80c287 worked out well but
|
|
still haven't checked it out with Autocad 10. I don't expect any
|

chip failures the first year. Keep in touch.

Thanks for the info. I talked with several places, and other than
|
|
some copyright concerns they could convert the tapes; however, the cost

|
is about $50 per half-hour. My tape is about 2 1/2 hours. I'll just hold on to

|
|
A friend of mine has/had a Kaypro II and it is/had died! I like to
|
|
find him a replacement at a good cost or have his computer repaired.
|
|
Any ideas or offers accepted. Thanks!
|
|
|
|
Can be any CP/M computer that runs DBASE, WordStar, etc. If IBM computer
|
|
offered. Then a copy of each one included in the offer would be nice.
|
|
IBM DBASE is compatable with CP/M DBase file right? Version 2.4 DBASE?

|
|
to BILL WOLFF re: R/NEED COMPUTER
|
|
|
|
Finding a place to repair CP/M machines is difficult at best. Ditto for
|
|
finding a used Kaypro II, though not quite so. He also may have trouble
|
|
reinstalling some of his Kaypro-specific versions of software on other
|
|
CP/M machines. Best bet by far would be to look for a used Kaypro of a
|
|
<later> vintage than that of the IIs. They're all going cheap. (He shouldn't
|
|
have to pay more than $300 for a Kaypro 10-the hard-drive machine-if he
|
|
shops a little. A Kaypro 4 often goes for $100 or less these days, and
|
|
should run his K II software fine. About the only thing he should be
|
|
careful about is a Kaypro 1 (which has a different, and infamous "universal"
|
|
ROM-a "U-ROM"). Software for it vs. other CP/M Kaypros isn't <always>
|
|
100% compatible. Putting messages up around CP/M boards often will snag a
|
|
CP/M Kaypro fairly quickly-CFOG, The Advocate (312-939-3300), etc.
|
|
As for portability of dBASE to an MS-DOS environment, it's not all tht
|
|
difficult, but it's likely he'll have to modify some .CMD files. (It gets
|
|
more complicated if he gets into the latest dBASE versions, though.)
|
|
WordStar files will port over fine.Does this more or less answer all
|
|
of your questions?
|
|
|
|
In terms of his older machine, if your friend or you can deal with
|
|
rummaging around inside the hardware, often you can fix the problems yourself.
|
|
The K IIs were rather simple machines, and often the problem can be
|
|
diagnosed reasonably reliably by someone who has had such a beast. I've
|
|
done a fair bit of that myself, as have others on The Advocate, where you
|
|
might care to leave a message (as well as here) about <specific> symptoms
|
|
when-and before-the machine bit the dust.If your friend doesn't want
|
|
to bother with such work and is just planning on tossing it, I'd welcome
|
|
hearing from him or her. I run a BBS on a Kaypro 10, and <some> parts are
|
|
interchangable betweeen the machines, if he'd care to make it a (tax-
|
|
deductible) gift. If interested, again, leave word on The Advocate (to Sysop),
|
|
and include a number where I could call to chat about it. Good luck.
