something offerred or desired in Classified posted before Jan 94

Frank,
|
|
I have been a SCSI advocate for 5 years. I can't even remember
|
|
how many discussions I have had on the various forums on the
|
|
merits of SCSI vs. MFM, RLL, etc. I _think_ I am starting to
|
|
see my predictions come true. Good MFM drives and controllers
|
|
are getting harder to find and keep running. My SCSI systems
|
|
and drives have served me well. I had two Seagate SCSI drives
|
|
on my CoCo. When the Kix\30 first arrived it was a simple matter
|
|
to move one of the SCSI drives right over. Later on, I got a
|
|
Quantum SCSI-2 hard drive for the Kix\30 (a very, very fast
|
|
drive on the Kix\30). The file format on OSK (256 byte/sector)
|
|
and OS9-6809 is very compatable. I used to help a friend who
|
|
ran Ribbs (BBS) defragment his OS9-6809 drive, a Seagate 296N.
|
|
We just connected it to the SCSI ribbon cable on the Kix\30 and
|
|
then used DSAVE to move the entire drive over to the Quantum.
|
|
We could the re-format the CoCo drive and DSave the data back.
|
|
The entire operation would take about 1 hour including moving all
|
|
of the hardware around. Years ago, I saw a demonstration of
|
|
two CoCo's connected to the same hard drive using a Kenton
|
|
SCSI interface. Needless to say, the two OS9's didn't know
|
|
of each others existance so record locking was a bit weak
|
|
(grin), but I think one could implement a nice BBS system
|
|
if the sharable attribute bit was used appropriately.

SuperComm
|
|
From: MMCCLELLAND To: RANDYKWILSON
|
|
|
|
Randy,
|
|
I successfully used COCOOS9 to convert SuperComm into the OS9 format. I copied
|
|
the file on to a new disk in OS9, and set the attributes correctly (I think!).
|
|
When I tried to use SuperComm, I ran into a few memory errors, an "error 244"
|
|
and a "WHAT?".The command that I used to execute it was "supercomm #70k
|
|
<>>>/w&"(any higher memory value gave me a "WHAT?"). Help!!!
|
|
(by the way, disks converted with COCOOS9 appear to be readable by both OS9 and
|
|
DECB.)

From: RANDYKWILSON To: MMCCLELLAND
|
|
|
|
Mark,
|
|
|
|
Disks that have been munged up with COCOOS9.BAS *are* readable by both DECB
|
|
and OS9. The program reads the current DECBdisk, and writes a OS9 compatable
|
|
directory and base structure. Due to the vastly different structures used by
|
|
the two systems, there is rarely a collision.
|
|
However, neither system knows about the other. So, any further writes to
|
|
the disk will make the other directory invalid, or possible even over write
|
|
it. This is why I said it was read only. Tis best to reformat the disk when
|
|
done to save future confusion. :>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Okay. I would expect memory errors when trying to use #70K. The max you can
|
|
give it is 40K. The 244 is a disk read error. May have to try a different
|
|
disk.
|
|
If you copied the binary to the root dir of a disk, and this is not your
|
|
current execution dir, you'll have to give a full pathname to the file.
|
|
Try this out:
|
|
load /d1/supercomm (or where ever the file is, and filename)
|
|
supercomm #24K <>>>/w&
|
|
<hit clear until you find the new window>
|
|
|
|
Oh, and to set the attributes, use "attr supercomm e w r". That should do it.

I can think of three reasons off-hand to own guns.
|
|
-For hunting
|
|
-For self-defense
|
|
-For the hobby of "collecting".
|
|
|
|
I think it would be a case of "prior restraint" for the
|
|
government to restrict my pursuit of any of these activities.
|
|
I don't have a problem, however, with background check,
|
|
criminal record checks, and for more powerful weapons a
|
|
reasonable competency requirement. Yes, even 50 cal.
|
|
machine guns and civil war cannons can have legitimate
|
|
recreational and historical-hobby uses.

Paul,

And there is nothing wrong with just wanting to keep
|
|
such a "sniper rifle" as a collectors item. Also,
|
|
nothing inherently immoral with investing in a unusual
|
|
item and selling at a later date. Of course, don't collect

a guillotine- it was only designed to kill!

I hope these guys can keep this all on

an intellectual level and not resort to insults

One other thing to consider is OS9000. It runs REAL nice on
|
|
a 486/66! And since Gwindows is available for OS9000, you
|
|
can have a real good windowing system. Very fast! Very nice!
|
|
|
|
In addition, you can open up a MS-Dos session and run thousands
|
|
of freely available DOS programs. Or you can make another partition
|
|
on your hard drive active and boot into OS/2, Windows, Linux, etc.
|
|
OS9000 can easily access the DOS partition on the hard drive, making
|
|
file transfers between the separate operating systems easy. I wish
|
|
one of the dealers had the resources to get the -long- deal on
|
|
pricing. Some copies went out at $300 or so last year. The normal
|
|
"factory direct" pricing is almost $1,000 which is way too high,
|
|
in my opinion, even for industrial users.

Randy-
|

Thanks for all of the help! The program itself seems to work fine now, but when
|
|
I try to communicate with the modem, it echoes back slightly garbled text. I
|
|
have had this problem before with other terminal programs, and a slight
|
|
retuning of the serial port
|
|
has always fixed it. Does SuperComm have a feature for retuning the serial
|
|
port, or is there a way to use OS9's TUNEPORT command to do this. I am using a
|
|
converted DC Modem cartridge (which is similar to the RS 232 pak). Any help
|
|
would be greatly apprciat
|
|

I think you'll find this connected to any problems that occur. Get a 232 Pak
|

if you can find one, their going for $20-$30 these days.
