Diary of a Mad SysOp
|
|
|
|
I don't know what qualifies one as a
|
|
SysOp?? I wonder if all SysOp's are
|
|
unhinged, obsessed, or just a wild,
|
|
deranged, raging, lunatic? Why does
|
|
one spend a whole heck of a lot of
|
|
ones personal time and money on this
|
|
leisure-time activity?? Not only time
|
|
and money, but the speculation,
|
|
reflection, brainstorming, anxiety,
|
|
conviction, and determination!!
|
|
|
|
Something... maybe it's in the air, or
|
|
at least on the phone lines !!
|
|
|
|
As The Prairie Chip goes for an online
|
|
time of three years, it has been thru
|
|
a lot of changes and growth.
|
|
Fast.Amis, Tod.Amis, OASIS and now
|
|
FoReM. Onward & upward, so they say.
|
|
Some of the callers have been with me
|
|
since the beginning, others come and
|
|
go. Every SysOp appreciates, you, the
|
|
caller. Some of you I appreciate more
|
|
than others. The use of handles vs.
|
|
real life names is usually up to the
|
|
SysOp. I like handles, lets have some
|
|
fun!! The Chip gets the usual handles
|
|
(several Joe Cool's in various stages
|
|
of spelling) but some of them.... I
|
|
have to ask, as to what the heck IT
|
|
is, where the heck did you come up
|
|
with IT, and whether or not IT is
|
|
dangerous. Some very clever handles,
|
|
and I always wonder how alike you are
|
|
with your handle? After all, IT is an
|
|
extension of your personality. Virgin
|
|
Killer??? hmmm...
|
|
|
|
Nothing exasperates me more than when
|
|
the ever present YELL is activated and
|
|
before I can physically move to the
|
|
computer the caller has logged off.
|
|
Hmmmm, I get tired of -let's get the
|
|
SysOp to jump- game. I recognize
|
|
these callers and make a mental note.
|
|
SysOp's do not sit at command
|
|
headquarters waiting to answer your
|
|
chat. Some SysOp's (sIs-op's <long I>
|
|
in England) do not chat. I chat. I
|
|
have found it another way to get to
|
|
know people and I like it. I am more
|
|
than happy to help. Be it looking up
|
|
that forgotten password, helping the
|
|
new caller with logging on (without
|
|
adding 5 names to the hard disk),
|
|
making your way around the system or
|
|
comparing the MPH of the wind or the
|
|
depth of the latest snow. Yes, my BBS
|
|
is a friend, and very much a
|
|
companion. I care about several of
|
|
you very much, you are good company!!
|
|
|
|
When all goes well, running a BBS is
|
|
fun, challenging, satisfying,
|
|
captivating, amusing and exciting.
|
|
When all goes bad, a SysOp's job is
|
|
boring, frustrating, tiresome, tedious
|
|
and annoying. <FoReM has improved on
|
|
this situation tremendously> One can
|
|
go from a star to a bum in one
|
|
afternoon. Nothing much (besides
|
|
equipment failure) is worse than a
|
|
hard disk crash or heaven forbid, the
|
|
message bases crashing. Remember, the
|
|
first rule is there are no rules, but
|
|
a good one could be: Make A Back-Up!!
|
|
What I am getting at here, is if you
|
|
encounter a problem using a system, be
|
|
patient. And be kind !! Leave a
|
|
message to the SysOp with as much
|
|
information as possible. What the
|
|
error was, what you were attempting to
|
|
do, anything helps really. I know a
|
|
certain things mean certain things!! I
|
|
do the dumb and stupid, I just try not
|
|
to let you catch me at it !!
|
|
|
|
One of my biggest peeves, is, those
|
|
who are done on the system and just
|
|
drop carrier. ARGGHH !! This
|
|
irritates me more than a dumb message
|
|
that makes no sense!! Please log-off
|
|
properly. A system remembers you!!
|
|
What does it say about you as a
|
|
caller, when your stats show 47
|
|
downloads to 0 up loads??? You could
|
|
be treading on shaky phone lines
|
|
here!! Remember, there is more to
|
|
most BBS's than the [F] and [Y]
|
|
commands!! Don't be a computer wimp.
|
|
|
|
This can be thankless job. But I
|
|
guess I don't do it for that reason.
|
|
I'll tell you who has the truly
|
|
thankless job. The Co-SysOp's of the
|
|
world. I try to show my appreciation
|
|
as much as I can, but it just never
|
|
seems enough. So, to the Co-SysOp's
|
|
of the BBS world, this is a thank-you
|
|
from everyone who doesn't realize what
|
|
it is YOU do!!
|
|
|
|
Tele-computing is a facinating way to
|
|
communicate and in theory, quite
|
|
simple.
|
|
|
|
The ability to get two machines to
|
|
interact, whether they are across the
|
|
room =or across the world. I am
|
|
always interested in whose been on the
|
|
BBS, always glad to see someone who
|
|
has been away, and always glad to meet
|
|
someone new. On top of the desk a
|
|
picture of my Great-Grandfather, taken
|
|
in 1913, sitting at one of the first
|
|
telephone switchboards in the Rocky
|
|
Mountain area. He operated this
|
|
switchboard out of his home just West
|
|
of Denver, and probably felt the same
|
|
way as I do operating my electronic
|
|
gadgets. I feel a deep kin-ship with
|
|
him and try to offer the same
|
|
satisfying service the look on his
|
|
face projects. Till then...be
|
|
chattin' at ya' !! -=-CJ-=-

(c)1987 Scott Peterson
|
|
PART 2
|
|
|
|
1. Place carpet sample or small
|
|
blanket on a clean, uncluttered
|
|
workspace that is well lighted.
|
|
|
|
2. Situate all tools and parts on one
|
|
side of your workspace.
|
|
|
|
3. Place 65XE face down on carpet.
|
|
Remove all screws holding cabinet
|
|
together. Turn unit over. Remove top
|
|
of cabinet and lay it in a safe place.
|
|
|
|
4. Gently pull upward with fingertips
|
|
on mylar extending from keyboard and
|
|
remove it from its connector. Place
|
|
this keyboard assembly with the top of
|
|
the cabinet. Place screws in a small
|
|
container so they wont be misplaced.
|
|
|
|
5. Take needle-nosed pliers and turn
|
|
all twist tabs on metal shield so it
|
|
may be easily removed. Remove all
|
|
screws from outer edges of PC Board
|
|
and then place screws in your
|
|
container, and the top and bottom
|
|
shields along with the bottom of the
|
|
cabinet should be placed with the rest
|
|
of the 65xe cabinet.
|
|
|
|
6. Place all ICs in front of you and
|
|
proceed with the following:
|
|
|
|
a. Bend up pin number 15 on all 8 of
|
|
the 41256 rams. Then snip off the thin
|
|
part of the leg so all you have left
|
|
of pin 15 is the -stub- or fat
|
|
portion. Do this on all 8 rams.
|
|
|
|
b. Bend up all pins with the exception
|
|
of 8 and 16 on the 74LS158. Leave the
|
|
legs on 8 and 16 long, and snip the
|
|
thin part off all other pins on this
|
|
chip.
|
|
|
|
c. Bend up all pins with the exception
|
|
of 8 and 16 on the CO25953. Leave the
|
|
legs on 8 and 16 long, and snip the
|
|
thin part off all other pins on this
|
|
chip.
|
|
|
|
d. Take both 33 ohm resistors and snip
|
|
the leads so their is 1/4 of an inch
|
|
of lead left on either end of each of
|
|
these resistors.
|
|
|
|
e. Place these chips to one side, and
|
|
position the 65XE motherboard in front
|
|
of you. Locate IC numbers U9 through
|
|
U16. You will find them running along
|
|
the left side of the motherboard. Take
|
|
a piece of tape or a small black magic
|
|
marker and place a small mark next to
|
|
the IC that is labeled U12. You see
|
|
the wisdom of doing so later on in
|
|
this documentation.
|
|
|
|
7. Proceed to piggy-back ICs Z3 thru
|
|
Z10 inclusive on top of ICs U8 thru
|
|
U15 inclusive. Please take your time
|
|
and be sure that each chip is facing
|
|
the same direction as the integrated
|
|
circuit below it. Do a good job
|
|
soldering so not only will this
|
|
upgrade work well but also will be
|
|
pleasing to the eyes when you show it
|
|
off to your admiring friends!
|
|
|
|
8. Cut 7 small pieces of #30 gauge
|
|
wire, and use these to connect all 8
|
|
of the pin 15s of the piggy-backed
|
|
rams.
|
|
|
|
9. Gently turn the 65Xe motherboard
|
|
over exposing the underside to your
|
|
trusty soldering iron. Cut 7 more
|
|
small pieces of #30 gauge wire and
|
|
then proceed to jumper all the pin 1s
|
|
of the rams. Cut another piece of #30
|
|
gauge wire approximately one foot long
|
|
and solder it to pin one also and then
|
|
run it through a convenient hole in
|
|
the motherboard. Turn the motherboard
|
|
back up with parts side once again
|
|
smiling up at you.
|
|
|
|
10. Grasp the 74LS158 and proceed to
|
|
piggy-back it on top of an IC on the
|
|
motherboard labeled U24 which you will
|
|
find at the front right of your
|
|
computer. Make sure it is facing the
|
|
same direction as the chip you are
|
|
placing it on top of and proceed to
|
|
solder pin 1 of the 74LS158 to pin one
|
|
of U24. Next solder pin 16 of the
|
|
74LS158 to pin 16 of U24.
|
|
|
|
11. Grasp the CO25953 IC and proceed
|
|
to piggy-back this gem on top of U2.
|
|
U2 can be found approximately in the
|
|
dead center of your 65XE motherboard.
|
|
Again, please make sure both chips are
|
|
facing the same direction. Remember, a
|
|
slow, sure job is often time the
|
|
fastest job overall! Proceed the
|
|
solder pin 1 of the CO25953 to pin 1
|
|
of U2. Next, solder pin 16 of CO25953
|
|
to pin 16 of U2.
|
|
|
|
12. Grasp one of those 33 ohm
|
|
resistors you have previously trimmed
|
|
and solder one end to pin 15 of Z3. Z3
|
|
you ask? Why that is the chip which
|
|
has been piggy-backed on top of U12.
|
|
U12---you know that one! Thats the
|
|
chip we so wisely marked before we
|
|
started! Mother would be so proud of
|
|
her smart little boy!
|
|
|
|
13. Cut a short piece of wire and
|
|
attach it to the free end of the
|
|
resistor you just connected to Z3 pin
|
|
15. Run the other end of this wire to
|
|
the CO25953 pin 10.
|
|
|
|
14. Grasp the other 33 ohm resistor
|
|
and solder it to the 74LS158 pin 4
|
|
(this is one of the ones you have
|
|
previously piggy-backed.) Now take the
|
|
long piece of wire you had previously
|
|
connected to all of the pin 1s of the
|
|
rams and solder this to the free of
|
|
your resistor.
|
|
|
|
15. Now take the metal bottom and
|
|
place the motherboard back into this
|
|
protective housing.
|
|
|
|
16. At the front of your computer on
|
|
the lefthand side you will find R108.
|
|
Desolder the end of this resistor
|
|
closest to the front end of the
|
|
computer. Solder a short wire to the
|
|
new free end of this resistor, put
|
|
heat shrink on the connection, and
|
|
connect the wire to pin 11 of the
|
|
CO25953.
|
|
|
|
17. Our next chore is to locate U6
|
|
which can be found near the center of
|
|
the front end of the motherboard.
|
|
Please be careful as the traces on
|
|
this pc board are very delicate and
|
|
will not be able to tolerate much
|
|
abuse. Gently desolder pins 23 and 24
|
|
of U6. The best way to do this is take
|
|
your solder wick, place it against the
|
|
leg to be desoldered,and heat it until
|
|
you see the solder beginning to flow
|
|
into the wick. Turn the motherboard
|
|
over and make sure all the solder is
|
|
off of the pin on this side also.
|
|
Repeat this step with pin 24 also.
|
|
Then take a small, flat-bladed
|
|
jeweler's screwdriver and use it to
|
|
push the pins back and forth a bit.
|
|
This will free up the pins and allow
|
|
you to remove them easily and not tear
|
|
the living daylights out of the board!
|
|
Turn the motherboard back with the
|
|
parts side up, and use that same
|
|
jeweler's screwdriver to pry pins 23
|
|
and 24 of U6 out of the board. Leave
|
|
them extended in a horizontal
|
|
direction, snip the thin part of the
|
|
leg off, thus leaving the fat parts of
|
|
these 2 legs for you to connect to
|
|
later.
|
|
|
|
17A.The following instructions require
|
|
small pieces of wire which are
|
|
connected between IC's.
|
|
|
|
18. Connect one side of a wire to the
|
|
land where pin 23 of U6 used to be.
|
|
Fasten the other end to CO25953 pin 1.
|
|
|
|
19. Connect one side of wire to the
|
|
land where pin 24 of U6 used to be.
|
|
Fasten the other end to CO25953 pin 2.
|
|
|
|
20. Connect one side of wire to
|
|
74LS158 pin 1, and the other to U17
|
|
pin 30.
|
|
|
|
21. Connect one side of wire to
|
|
74LS158 pin 2, and the other side to
|
|
U23 pin 15.
|
|
|
|
22. Connect one side of wire to Pin 3
|
|
of 74LS158, and the other goes to U23
|
|
pin 16.
|
|
|
|
23. Connect one side of wire to
|
|
74LS158 pin 15, and the other to pin 8
|
|
of the same chip. (74LS158)
|
|
|
|
24. Connect one side of wire to
|
|
CO25953 pin 6, and the other to U6 pin
|
|
35.
|
|
|
|
25. Connect one side of wire to
|
|
CO25953 pin 7, and the other to pin 8
|
|
of the same chip. (CO25953)
|
|
|
|
26. Connect one side to wire to
|
|
CO25953 pin 9, and the other to U17
|
|
pin 26.
|
|
|
|
27. Connect one end of this wire to
|
|
CO25953 pin 12, and the other side to
|
|
U6 pin 23.
|
|
|
|
28. Connect one side of wire to
|
|
CO25953 pin 13, and the other to U6
|
|
pin 24.
|
|
|
|
29. Connect one end to CO25953 pin 14,
|
|
and the other end goes to the same
|
|
chip pin 16.(CO25953)
|
|
|
|
30. Connect one end to CO25953 pin 15,
|
|
and the other end to U6 pin 5.
|
|
|
|
31. Connect one end to CO25953 pin 3,
|
|
and the other end goes to U23 pin 12.
|
|
|
|
32. Connect one end to CO25953 pin 4,
|
|
and the other end goes to U23 pin 13.
|
|
|
|
33. Cut one final piece of wire, strip
|
|
both ends, connect one side to CO25953
|
|
pin 5, and the other end goes to U23
|
|
pin 14.
|
|
|
|
34. Check all your wiring!!
|
|
|
|
35. Get your SpartaDos 3.2 that has
|
|
the RD.COM file on it, say a prayer
|
|
and load 'er up! If she boots you
|
|
probably are ok! If not don't panic,
|
|
simply go back through section step by
|
|
step, you will find it is probably
|
|
some little error or oversight.
|
|
|
|
36. While you have your computer open
|
|
it would be a good idea to solder the
|
|
joystick jacks, the monitor, I/O and
|
|
power supply ports also. It may save
|
|
you a bit of aggravation later on!
|
|
|
|
37. Reassemble your upgraded computer
|
|
by placing the top metal cover back
|
|
over the motherboard. Turn all twist
|
|
tabs and then insert the appropriate
|
|
screws. Gently plug the keyboard back
|
|
in, position it in its slots in the
|
|
cabinets, and then place the cabinet
|
|
top on. Turn over and insert all
|
|
screws. While you have it out, why not
|
|
use a bit of Fantastic spray cleaner
|
|
on it to make it sharp! Good deal!

Xx KEITH LEDBETTER INTERVIEW
|
|
...By Chuck Leazott...
|
|
______________________________________
|
|
The following are excerpts from an
|
|
interview with Keith Ledbetter.
|
|
|
|
Interview conducted by Chuck Leazott
|
|
of the Hard Disk Users Group.
|
|
|
|
Chuck: Let me start out by asking one
|
|
of the most frequently asked questions
|
|
I get here. Will you allow other
|
|
SysOps and programmers the opportunity
|
|
to write their own files as utilities,
|
|
games and other things for this
|
|
version?
|
|
|
|
Keith: Absolutely. This new version
|
|
is dramatically different than all the
|
|
others. I'll supply a list of equates
|
|
for those wishing to write utilities
|
|
for the BBS. There will be some
|
|
example programs, and source code for
|
|
many of the 'external' commands will
|
|
be on the distribution disk.
|
|
|
|
Chuck: Which language did you use to
|
|
write the new version?
|
|
|
|
Keith: Well, this version is 100%
|
|
Machine Language (ML). I'm writing in
|
|
on my ST (using a 6502 cross-
|
|
assembler), and then porting it over
|
|
to the 8-bit.
|
|
|
|
Chuck: Then which language do the
|
|
programmers use to add these other
|
|
options?
|
|
|
|
Keith: MAC/65 or any other assembler.
|
|
The routines and equate files will be
|
|
supplied in MAC/65 format, so if you
|
|
want to use another assembler there
|
|
will have to be some typing-in done.
|
|
|
|
Chuck: What are some of the new
|
|
things we can expect...Changes in
|
|
format, etc.?
|
|
|
|
Keith: Well, first of all, the biggie
|
|
is that this version REQUIRES
|
|
SpartaDOS 3.2x. Also, you are really
|
|
going to need a ramdisk or a hard disk
|
|
to run this version. Most of the
|
|
commands are external [separate
|
|
files], and using a floppy will be
|
|
slow, to say the least. It can be
|
|
done, but I don't think SysOp's would
|
|
be satisfied with it. You might be
|
|
able to get by with a US Doubled 1050,
|
|
but you're still talking about
|
|
accessing the disk drive for every
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
You get to basically use the commands
|
|
supplied, and if you don't like those,
|
|
you can write your own. It should be
|
|
a simple task for those SysOps who
|
|
write in assembler (or, who knows
|
|
someone who does).
|
|
|
|
Chuck: Whew! Let's jump ahead for a
|
|
second, and let me ask when this gem
|
|
will be up for sale?
|
|
|
|
Keith: I'd say it's about 80%
|
|
complete. I'm hoping to get into Beta
|
|
test by the end of this month
|
|
[August], and it might be possible by
|
|
October, but it's really hard to say.
|
|
I'll let Network: Atari and the Mouse
|
|
BBS do the Beta testing.
|
|
|
|
Chuck: How about the Menu's? Will
|
|
they be set up the same? Can I use my
|
|
old menu's from the old system?
|
|
|
|
Keith: No, because they are set-up a
|
|
little differently. However, I may
|
|
write a quick converter program to
|
|
change all those over. Maybe even one
|
|
for the userlog.
|
|
|
|
Chuck: Are the -letter-commands-
|
|
still going to be the same?
|
|
|
|
Keith: Sure, if the SysOp wants them
|
|
to be. The SysOp has the ability to
|
|
add commands, change letters to
|
|
existing commands, or totally remove
|
|
commands as he/she wishes. It's
|
|
possible that there may be 'word'
|
|
command support, too, but it's a
|
|
little too early in the game to say
|
|
for sure. I prefer them, but my
|
|
surveys of BBS users show that they
|
|
OVERWHELMINGLY prefer the one-key
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
Chuck: Where can the folks purchase
|
|
the program?
|
|
|
|
Keith: This will be through Orion
|
|
Micro Systems as always. The main
|
|
support/sales board will remain there.
|
|
|
|
Keith: Well, the most important thing
|
|
to get across is that this is really a
|
|
large system BBS program, and it
|
|
really does act that way.
|
|
|
|
There's 5 different logon sequences
|
|
that the SysOp can use. There are a
|
|
LOT of external commands available for
|
|
the SysOp. See, this version is
|
|
different, in that it was written more
|
|
for the SysOps editability, and still
|
|
allows more things for the users.
|
|
It's simply a better all-around
|
|
program than the earlier versions (of
|
|
course, when you write in assembler
|
|
you can do a lot more things, too).
|
|
|
|
The nice part about it is the fact
|
|
that it's what the SysOp wants (I
|
|
hope!).

New Protocol : 4-

|
|
Option 4, C-Modem (Carina modem)
|
|
is a protocol Jerry has devised.
|
|
Terminal programs may come out
|
|
with this protocol, or may be
|
|
-patched.- You'll see it
|
|
represented on the settings menu.
|
|
I believe that continuous is
|
|
similar to continuous scroll for
|
|
msgs. The BBS displays a msg,
|
|
waits a few seconds, then
|
|
displays the next msg; unless
|
|
interrupted by a keystroke which
|
|
will bring up the command prompt.
