RE: CC3 to SVGA (analog) adaptor (Re: Msg 89799)

Most modern multi-frequency monitors (MultiSync is a trade name of NEC)
|
|
will NOT sync down to 15.701 kHz (CoCo/MM1) Especially if you want one that
|
|
is in the 17" range... I did a LOT of looking for a monitor that I could both
|
|
use on my MM/1, and my Sun. I wanted at least 17" diagonal, but I did not want
|
|
The only monitor I did find what would do the job, was the huge NEC
|
|
MultiSync 6FGp wich was over 2000$. I didn't hit up the Computer Shopper, or
|
|
any mail order places, but I did visit every large computer store within
|
|
60 miles, and quite a few of smaller computer venders.

He would have to look for an old "multi-frequency" monitor which are getting
|
|
mighty rare. Some old Diamond Scans are still around but he'd better check
|
|
the specs before he plunks down the cash.

It does a pretty good job at VT100. I use it to connect to my UNIX host.

I run VI, ME, ELM, & ect with NO problems.

Next Version will have new bells and whistles, plus many new and

More ANSI Questions

|
|
|
|
Notice the ESC [ !. After I typed 1, it was sent immediately. I
|
|
canot find this in any of the ANSI docs I have. I do interpret
|
|
the DSR (ESC [ 6 n) and respond appropriately.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also...
|
|
|
|
I'm somewhat confused as to the use of the word "Bold" in the ANSI
|
|
spec. Here's an excerpt from one of the ANSI documents I have:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
Ps = 1 Bold on. If the text color has been changed using an
|
|
ANSI color control sequence, bold will be the
|
|
intensified text color. Otherwise bolded text will
|
|
display as configured in the Screen Setup Menu.
|
|
|
|
I'm not quite sure what this means. At this point, I do not turn on
|
|
Bold characters, but do keep track of the Bold flag via a switch, and
|
|
will have intensified colors of I receive an ANSI sequence which turned
|
|
on Bold.
|
|
|
|
I would appreciate any insight into these questions.

|
|
|
|
I'm not sure if you're asking about Philips' CD-i or Panasonic's 3DO here.
|
|
|
|
CD-i plays CD-i disks, Kodak Photo CDs, audio CDs, and, with the optional
|
|
Digital Video cartridge, CD-i digital video movies and Video CDs. Oh, and I
|
|
think it also plays the little supported CD+Gs.
|
|
|
|
3DO plays 3DO disks, and that's all *as far as I know*. They don't have
|
|
their digital video cartridge out yet. When they do it'll probably play
|
|
Video CDs (the new standard) as well.
|
|
|
|
Philips' CD-i unit runs about $400.00 - $500.00, depending on where you go,
|
|
which includes Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia, a $299.00 value. The
|
|
Magnavox model runs about $300.00 I think, and doesn't include Compton's. That
|
|
was Magnavox's model 200. Their new model I believe runs about $250.00.
|
|
Goldstar has a couple of units coming out, the price of which I don't
|
|
remember. One includes digital video and 2 or 3 software titles, the other
|
|
doesn't have DV (digital video) and includes 1 or 2 titles.
|
|
|
|
Depending on where you get it, (and when as the price seems to have dropped
|
|
quite a bit from $700.00 to ?), 3DO runs $400.00 to $500.00.
|
|
|
|
Of course, the local favorite around here is CD-i. :)

Oh, they often have it running. However, they don't have any of the recent

True. I do get a little tired of Tetris. One day they put the golf game on

and that drew a crowd.....especially husbands who went with the wives to Sears

because there were no golf matches on TV. Some really got annoyed until

some one finally explained that it was a GAME! Took a while before some

|
|
|
|
Yes, but not entirely. You can find CD-i ads in several gaming magazines
|
|
nowadays. My big problem with these it that there is too much wasted space in
|
|
them. (They all use the same layout.) Each ad also generally only focusses on
|
|
one title. It is advertising, nevertheless. Philips also aired a CD-i info-
|
|
mercial several months ago. It wasn't bad, but I think they need to re-do it
|
|
now that they've got more good DV titles out there.
|
|
|
|
Fortunately, even though 3DO is getting more press, when I asked a person
|
|
at Incredible Universe how each machine was selling, they described CD-i as
|
|
selling considerably better than CD-i. There seem to be a number of CD-i
|
|
enthusiasts at that store. CD-i support and coverage is also starting to
|
|
improve greatly at our local Best Buys in Phoenix.

Humor

Just want to pass this along. You may be amused. Today was the first day
|
|
of school where all the teachers show up to get their paperwork and briefing
|
|
on the coming school year. When I walked in the building, the principal
|
|
pulled me aside and told me that the SOP (standard operating procedure) now
|
|
states that teachers are NOT allowed to bring in their own personal computers,
|
|
including laptops. (I've been using one for a few years now to do grades,
|
|
keep inventories, etc) I can use it in the car but I cannot bring it in the
|
|
building. Geez....and I was going to put an OSK machine in my room.

jumper 18 to 20 on the socket........

you have to reroute A11 and 12...........because the numbers change on the

a 256 uses pin1 for A14.....although one do not use it! UNLESS on wants to

will do it.......But one also has to program the dos,s into their location

dont take to much to figure it out! your lesson for today is!!!!<grin>

use a 10k pullup on pin 27 when in 8k/8k mode!

Ken,

|
|
|
|
Yes, I am aware of the reasoning for his decision, and I would be the last
|
|
person to fault him for it. If he feels he can make substantial money by
|
|
going text based then more power to him.
|
|
|
|
> I think you will find it difficult to convince him that he should have
|
|
> used a K-Windows interface for his program...
|
|
|
|
And I would never think of suggesting that he should have done so. As I
|
|
sai, I bought the program, and the upgrade, (and I tried to word my comments
|
|
so as not to offend him, if he sees this, or you because I think you did an
|
|
excellent job on the graphical front end and the program itself is very well
|
|
done.) The point I was making is that *I personally* prefer windowing
|
|
software, that is, windowing software that was written to window in the first
|
|
place. Hence, I would rather use a program with fewer features, (gotta watch
|
|
myself here, don't want to offend you know who,) that uses windows well than
|
|
one which is either text based or has a graphical interface on top of a text
|
|
based program. Not to say one's right or one's wrong. It's a matter of personal
|
|
preference. I've just made my choice to support (as user and programmer)
|
|
(native) windowing software from now on.
|
|
|
|
I hope no offense was taken. Certainly none was meant.
|
|

Dave,
|
|
|
|
GetInput(command)
|
|
char *command; /* <<<-- add this line to define command within the function */
|
|
{
|
|
int t; /* <<<-- change t back to an int */
|
|
|
|
readln(PATH,command,79); /* <<<-- Only use 79 bytes of a char[80] */
|
|
for (t=0;command[t];t++)
|
|
{
|
|
if(command[t]==0x00)
|
|
command[t]=0x00;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
I didn't actually test this, but here's some observations.
|
|
|
|
Since you included command as part of the GetInput() function
|
|
definition, but didn't define command, its going to default to an int,
|
|
not char is it is defined at the top of the module. This is probably
|
|
what the compiler was complaining about, not t. So I added a definition
|
|
for command, it could also be: char command[]; If I have a variable that
|
|
is used this way, I usually name it something else in the function to
|
|
avoid confusion.
|
|
|
|
The for loop doesn't actually do anything, it loops through the string,
|
|
looking for a non-null byte, changing nulls to nulls. Doesn't hurt
|
|
anything, either :-) as long is t is an int, not a pointer.
|
|
|
|
All character strings in C need room for the null byte at the end, so
|
|
make sure you always reserve one, in this case, don't try to read 80
|
|
bytes into an 80 byte string.

Bill,

This is another test of 1222. I searched the messages I had on line until I
|
|
found your user name as a "TO". Using the <T> command I snarffed it.
|
|
Now I'll send this via mail .... I hope.

I did that myself just a while back! (Tho being 4 rooms away, pressing
|
|
<space> at power-up takes a looooong arm!) Seems to me, with a little clever
|
|
programming and a custom CD disk, it could be an OSK computer or even
|
|
a serial-linked CD-Rom Reader!!!

Just thought I would post a note to say that I will be offline until
