Having trouble installing the 720k drive or are you just short on time? I
|

used mine to hold just my CMDS for a long time. Wouldn't be without it.

The problem is with my drive cable, the one that came with the FD-502. The
|
|
34-pin connector for /d1 could not reach the card edge on the drive. I called
|
|
the dealer for help and I was told to zigzag-route the ribbon cable so that it
|
|
will reach. He said it definitely will reach then. And it did, only problem
|
|
was that I could no longer close the case with the ribbon cable now in the way.
|
|
So I called again. This time he got a FD-502 case and the same drive I bought
|
|
and proceeded to try to make the cable reach and the case close. And sure
|
|
enough he couldn't do it either. He offered to have one of his people create a
|
|
new drive cable for me with a real FD-502 case and the same drive as a guide.
|
|
A cable that will zigzag but will reach and still let the case close. This
|
|
cable would completely replace the present one, incl. for /d0. It's been
|
|
nearly a fortnight and I'm still waiting for the cable. The delay may be
|
|
caused by delays in being able to ship some other items I ordered so it would
|
|
be in 1 big pkg, but I've not yet enquired.

Good luck with it. I've built those cables myself; it's not too hard. There
|
|
are these connectors that you press onto the ribbon cable at any point you
|
|
want. They have teeth that bite through the cable; sort of like those blue
|
|
Radio Shack RS-232 connectors.

I dial directly into a CIS node in Metuchen NJ via Atlantic (NJ) Bell. I
|
|
get no errors using X-Modem. That test that showed up the 3 errors; I was
|
|
downloading a file to ramdisk while doing all kinds of disk accesses and things
|
|
with the remote terminal just to see if I could lock it up. How many devices do
|
|
you have hooked to your IRQ line. I have 3 6551's and 2 disk controllers.

So you've got basically the same amount of stuff on the line. Does yours
|
|
make errors if you start doing alot of things on a remote terminal while
|
|
downloading? I remember when I was getting lots of errors that taking the
|
|
RS-232 port to the printer off line seemed to decrease the errors. That didn't
|
|
make any sense to me as it shouldn't be generating any interrupts. I'm going to
|
|
try it with that pak pulled for kicks.

The office is served by GTE while the house is SWBT. Actually, I'm rather

Hmmm Air Force & DIA, huh? Got my intro to computers in the 60's when I was in

the Air Force & stationed at NSA.

However, the real reason I jumped into this thread was: If you didn't get an
|
|
offer on the "286" board you mentioned in another area yet - I'll take it. I
|
|
have a kinda home-built "XT clone" that could stand an upgrade. Send me an est

of total cost (incl ship), and I'll mail you a check (unless someone already

|
grabbed it).

I heard about the GIMIX a time or two but I never knew that it used a 6809.
|
|
For that matter, about all I know about it is that it exists. I have no
|
|
objections to OSK coming of age. I just wish, however, that uploaded files
|
|
that are not in a Lib (or Delphi topic (esp. New Uploads)) specifically set
|
|
aside for OSK be denoted as such in the description. Just like all the
|
|
"(C3)"'s you see appended to the Group Names for old files in Delphi's CoCo SIG
|
|
denoting that the group is for the CoCo 3 only. I've already wasted time and
|
|
money downloading some things that I can't do anything with only because I
|
|
didn't know it was OSK until I read the documentation. Since Delphi allows
|
|
descriptions to run on for multiple screens, typing an extra 3 letters at the
|
|
beginning or end isn't that much to ask for. Not really even for CIS's
|
|
549-char limit on descriptions either.

I found it too!:-) Unfortunately I may find that installing it will be a
|
|
problem. As the Ar remains unextracted I can't say for sure. If the IPatch
|
|
calls for the original CC3Disk.dr, I'm not going to be able to complete the
|
|
installation. I have already patched CC3Disk for use with PC-DOS/RS-DOS and I
|
|
do not want to lose that patch. With that patch being an IPatch as well (and
|
|
the doc for the PC/RS-DOS CC3Disk patch does call for the original) I'm not
|
|
going to be able to reinstall the IPatch if I IPatch the original for caching.
|
|
And if both want to change the same bytes even constructing a table to keep
|
|
track of both patches to facilitate manual rebuilding of the module....! So if
|
|
the caching IPatch will not work with my patched CC3Disk, I have to wonder if I
|
|
will have any alternative short of creating and maintaining two separate boot
|
|
disks--a normal one and one for when I want to use PC-DOS or RS-DOS.

For users of MFCONV (Thanks, Paul), the song "Until the Real Thing Comes Along"
|
|
(MIDIFORUM - DL10 - UNTIL.ZIP) is a real nice addition to a music library - I
|
|
enjoy it! I'm using MFF120, MFCONV, and MFPLAY with a Roland MT32 and used
|
|
MFCONV to select the intended instruments, and move the drum channel from 3 to
|
|
10, but there was one sour sounding drum beat. Exploring with trace and MTMIDI,
|
|
the offending sound was found to be MT32's sound called Electric Snare Drum. I
|
|
have a short Basic09 routine to change from Electric to Acoustic Snare in the
|
|
CMF0 file - any interest?? Ches.

Hi all... To all those who downloaded the version of Snap.ar in the database ,
|
|
check the size of the AR. If it is 7424 bytes long, or if the Module CRC for
|
|
your Snap file is not $850691, delete it! Don't risk using it and possibly
|
|
destroying something. I wanted it removed from the database the day after I
|
|
uploaded it, but nothing has happened so far. The proper AR is 7420 ($1CFC)
|
|
bytes long and the proper Snap Module CRC is $850691. It has been uploaded, but
|
|
has not yet been posted. When you get it, NOTE: Read the docs! You MUST have
|
|
the 25 line patch installed. Snap will crash big-time on a stock window system.
|
|
I may write a small-screen version - wouldn't be too hard... Also, you MUST
|
|
have Winfo in your CMDS dir.
