Msg 41552 is 20 line(s) on 03/23/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN
|
|
to PEGGY GREEN re: WHY NO COCO
|
|
|
|
Lots of reasons. The main one is that I'd rather run a board that has
|
|
topics of high interest to a small set of users, than try to be the
|
|
BBS that has a little something for everyone.
|
|
Just as I cursed my radio last week when YET ANOTHER Chicagoland FM
|
|
station went to the "best of the old and new" (which I call "mixed
|
|
vegetable programming - i.e. yuk!), so would I dislike a board which
|
|
catered to everyone one every interest. That's why we don't allow msgs
|
|
on "cars for sale", etc - I want to appeal highly to a select group of
|
|
users. Those who find it too hard to use, or who don't find topics of
|
|
interest to them here are welcome to try elsewhere.
|
|
There are exceptions: CBBS caters to the "advanced hobbyists", and one
|
|
time there were some msgs of great interest about a machine no one else
|
|
had - some kind of single board machine, that the guy was using to monitor
|
|
the environment (temperature, furnace on/off time, etc) at his apartment
|
|
building.
|
|
Thanks for stopping by - sorry if its not what you're looking for. By
|
|
anther analogy, you don't go to the hardware store for aspirin, nor the
|
|
drug store for a hammer. You don't come to CBBS for COCO stuff, PC,
|
|
Unix, and other folks wouldn't go to a COCO-friendly board for PC
|
|
matters either. Better many specific boards than many generic ones.

to JOHN STEPIEN re: MSGS
|
|
|
|
If you leave a msg with a # to call, please be VERY specific about what
|
|
is being called. The kind of information that is MINIMAL is:
|
|
- hours of operation
|
|
- name of operator
|
|
- type of system being used
|
|
- purpose of the system
|
|
- whether it is open and free, registration only, limited free access,
|
|
- etc
|
|
In other words, msgs that just say "call this number" get deleted. Also
|
|
I don't understand why you left TWO messages when one would do (if it
|
|
contained the right info).
|
|
Sorry you had problems the first time - looking forward to more details
|
|
about the system. Please ensure any system is relevant to CBBS' goals:
|
|
PC's, Unix, programming, communications, ham radio, etc.

to MICHAEL SZEWCZYK re: R/XMODEM CRC
|
|
|
|
What specifically is your BASIC's syntax for a bitwise left shift? Come
|
|
to think of it, you MIGHT be able to implement that with a multiplication
|
|
by two, though it might be slow unless your compiler replaces multiplication
|
|
by a power of two with a shift. Also, what is your syntax for bitwise AND
|
|
and bitwise XOR (be careful about the AND; it has to be "bitwise" rather than
|
|
"logical." Assuming that the operator is called "AND," try evaluating
|
|
(3 AND 2). If the result is 2, it's bitwise; if the result is 1 or -1, it's
|
|
logical and won't help here).

|
|
|
|
Unless IBMAUX1 does more than I think it does, I still don't see why
|
|
you need to use it. As far as I know, all it does is filter out control-c
|
|
but otherwise acts just like COM1. The only drawback would be that
|
|
someone who got through the first two levels of security could possibly
|
|
abort the batch file if he hit control-c right before your invocation
|
|
of COMMAND.

|
|
to ALL re: BOARD LEVEL REPAIR.!
|
|
|
|
I just had a triumphant experience, so I wanted to let folks know.
|
|
Last week I got a call from an organization I do computer work
|
|
for, to the effect that one of their 'original' IBM-PCs was flakey.
|
|
It tended to crash while running Word Perfect and XyWrite and other
|
|
things. It also was generating PARITY CHECK 2 messages and, as
|
|
previously noted here, claiming that COMMAND.COM was invalid when it
|
|
tried to reload. So I downloaded NMI.COM from the ADVOCATE and
|
|
tested memory. No problems showed up. So I decided it was an
|
|
intermittant problem and installed NMI (as spec'd in NMI.DOC) in place
|
|
of the usually NMI error handler and left it to them. Tuesday, it
|
|
failed again, and NMI found the error in the parity bit of BANK 0. I
|
|
went in with visions of replacing the BANK 0 parity chip and being out
|
|
in half an hour, but I was WRONG. IBM machines of this vintage had
|
|
BANK 0 (and ONLY BANK 0) soldered in place.
|
|
So I went to Radio Shack for a Solder Sucker and 16-pin DIP
|
|
socket, and to INACOMP, who were willing to sell me just 2 64KBIT
|
|
chips (@ $3.50, but what the heck) and set to work. It only took an
|
|
hour or so to remove the dead parity chip and put a socket in its
|
|
place, and then plug in the new chip (I bought 2 just in case one was
|
|
bad.). It worked, first time out. No crash. Even the Person Whom
|
|
Computers Hate (PWCH), who is the main user of this beast, had no luck
|
|
crashing it. So.
|
|
This suggests that most repairs are in fact doable by
|
|
individuals. It also suggests the worth of having a good set of
|
|
diagnostic tools around. NMI.COM is one - alas, it works only on
|
|
PCs, not ATs or beyond - but you get the idea. The standard practice
|
|
in this case would have been motherboard replacement, at c. $500 -
|
|
they'd done it before. Repair was MUCH cheaper for the organization.
|
|
It would have been even more important if it had been my own machine
|
|
that failed, since $700 is something I ain't got.

|
|
to ALEX ZELL re: STUFF
|
|
|
|
Yes, it was me that saved whatever remained of the original CBBS
|
|
from the clutches of Randy's ashcan. He was going to dump whatever
|
|
he couldn't sell, if I remember rightly. Randy told me at that
|
|
time that he had the monitor, but that it was in use-holding up
|
|
one side of the hot-water tank in the basement. For all I know,
|
|
it's still there. He also said he loaned out the original modem
|
|
card, and could get it back. (Mike Andrews tells me that Roger
|
|
Hale was the guy he loaned it to, and Roger would be happy to
|
|
have it reunited with the rest of the hardware.) Randy also
|
|
said he had some other equipment on th shelfs above the rafters
|
|
in his garage, but he didn't feel like getting it down. (I
|
|
think they were disk drives or a power supply.)
|
|
I guess now we know why the monitor wasn't in use on CBBS for
|
|
a few years!

|
|
to ALL re: SMG MODEMS
|
|
|
|
I received the new ELEK-TEK catalog and noticed a new brand of modem
|
|
being advertized "SMG" (Smart Money Group). The picture of the 2400
|
|
external bears a striking similarity the the PP2400SA as a matter of
|
|
fact its model number is also 2400SA. Are there PP clones or real PP
|
|
modems under a private label. The price defferential is significant
|
|
129 dollars for the SMG versus 179 dollars for the PP. The SMG carries
|
|
only a 2 year warranty while the PP has a 5 year guarantee.
