Dave,
|
|
Here is a copy of the index and read.me from syscon-ind.com.
|
|
If you see something that I don't have let me know and I can get for
|
|
you. BTW I was told Chris Hawks is working on an desktop for the MGR
|
|
for the MM/1b and/or 306.
|
|
Have you been able to use MGR at all ?.

Warren,
|
|
Just curious, since I WAS an avid CoCo-Nut for a few years, how much
|
|
are the MM1 bare bones systems going for? The reason I ask is that I am
|
|
considering getting back into the OS-9 again, but why bother if you don't have
|
|
a hard drive for the CoCo. Even though I still have all my CoCo equipment, I
|
|
am reluctant to set it all up since a "DOS PC" is much more compact when
|
|
considering the "footprint" on the desk. I do have a lot of extra PC (MS-DOS
|
|
compatible that is) equipment laying around and apparently the MM-1 can
|
|
incorporate standard ISA devices. So to get back to the subject at hand, Can
|
|
an old 286 system be used with all the peripherials on an MM1 and if so, how
|
|
much are the MM1's main boards going for? Thanks in advance, Outta time...

Wes,

I cannot quote prices on the ehco, fido rules. But you can call my
|
|
BBS and get the latest info for both the MM/1 and MM/1b.
|
|
The MM/1 can use xt keyboards, mouse's, floppy drives, case and P/S
|
|
from MS-Dos machines. However it has a SCSI bus and needs SCSI hard
|
|
drives. It uses RGB Analog monitors such as the R.S. CM-8 or Maganavox
|
|
8cm515.
|
|
The MM/1b however is based on the ISA devices and has the STD bus
|
|
system that you can plug VGA, Soundblaster, devices into. It also uses
|
|
IDE drives and of course std floppy drives.
|
|
The MM/1 has a big base of software but the MM/1b is only getting
|
|
started so not much available. The MM/1 has Kwindows (like os9 windows)
|
|
and the MM/1b has MGR which is not fully implemented yet.
|
|
The MM/1 is a two board system whereas the MM/1b has a single mother
|
|
board that fits a mini tower case nicely.
|
|
Costwise the MM/1 2 board system runs less than $800 and the MM/1b
|
|
is under $500. That is the best I can do on pricing over Fido.

|
|
[37mDate : 96/06/07 20:48:00[33m
|
|
|
|
I bought a new USR 33.6KB Modem and had trouble getting RIBBS_MM1 to
|
|
work with it. I suppect the same will be the case with COCO RIBBS. It
|
|
seems the Basic/Basic09 routines can not handle baud rates over 16.8KB.
|
|
Also the Hardware Flow Control built into the modem is not compatible.
|
|
I suppect that to get RIIBS to fully use the newer high speed modems,
|
|
RIBBS will need to be re-written into C or ASM.
|
|
The AT code sequence to make a 33.6KB modem work with RIBBS is:
|
|
|
|
ATE1V1Q0M1&F0&U1&N8S0=0S11=50
|
|
|
|
It is VERY important that the &F0 is used. Do not use the &F1/2
|
|
formats. The builtin hardware/software flow control does not work with
|
|
RIBBS. The &U1/&N8 set the baud rate to float between 300 - 14400 baud
|
|
rate.

In the code to several OSK C files I have run into a (DEFS) header file
|
|
'getopt.h' and a function 'getopt()'. This seems to be used to read the
|
|
arguments to 'main()'.
|
|
|
|
Is this a MW thing that I dont have in the C Compiler version 3.2 or is it
|
|
something developed by someone else?
|
|
|
|
ALSO where can I get a copy of Carl Kreiders C library updates for OSK?

Hi Dave!
|
|
|
|
If I'm not mistaken getopt() is one of those quasi-standard way
|
|
to get options from the command line. I know that it appears in alot
|
|
of Unix stuff, but I think it came from teh "c" User's group some
|
|
millenium ago. I probably have a copy around here somewhere if ya
|
|
need it.

That's not part of the stock compiler library; probably someone has
|
|
written a clone of the getopt() Unix library function that's intended to
|
|
do uniform command line argument parsing.
